What kind or brand of stand do you like and why?
My first was a Summit Climber, I used it for a season and traded it away for a gun. I will have another someday.
My next was a hang-on and sticks that I got from Dick's at the end of the season sale last year. Used it a couple of times this season, but didn't really care for the climbing sticks (being a heavier guy).
Sold that combo and picked up a 16ft ladder at Dick's. Like it so far, nice wide ladder and pretty easy to set up. I swapped out the little ropes that wrap around the tree and added a another ratchet strap to the stand and it's pretty solid.
I plan on getting more stands for next season to be more versitale with the winds and such.
