Where are you from? I hunt in the forest hill area. Maybe after the season I can let you take a look at the stand and try it out. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve been using mine for 5 years. I think the only place you can buy them is online. I talked to the owner of the company on the phone a couple of times. A real mom and pop place.

I've owned API, Ole Man, and Summit.
Sold my Ole Man for $100 and won't buy another one.
Still have an API but, it stays in storage as I stopped using it after hunting in a Summit.
To me the Summit is by far the safest and most comfortable of the 3. I like it so much I bought a new one this year. (other one is 10-15 years old). I hunt public land with it and trust it completely.

Treewalker all day. Light but very roomy. Never thought I would like a net seat as much as I do. The coolest feature is you dont have to strap the top to the bottom to carry. The bottom fits snug inside of the top and it doesnt move or rattle. Very slick.

If I ever went back to a climber it would 100% be a Treewalker. The times I've used one I loved it. I just cant make myself get away from a good lightweight lock on and a good set of lightweight sticks.

You made look up Treewalker stands. Like.

Another goliath fan here. That is if you dont pack it very far. Super comfy but it gets heavy after a mile. I'm not a big guy 6'2" 205, but I have more than enough room. If i had to do it over again i might look at a viper to save weight.

I was in the middle of a million things earlier when I responded treewalker. I will go into detail.
Net seating is unbelievable in the aspect comfort. Being able to face the tree and sit while climbing is so easy. You can also face the tree and use the shooting rail as a backrest. This allows you to use the tree as a barrier between you and the potential deer.
Very light weight for how roomy it seems. I am 6’ 1” 255. The bolt design digs into the tree amazingly. Always feel secure in anything from pines to oaks large or small. They are easy to lock together to carry and the cable system has a memory feature that always makes a U shape that allows attaching in the dark is simple.
Have no experience with other as this was the first climber I purchased after hours and hours of research and opinions of others.
Couldnt be more thrilled with its performance.

I did the lock on thing for a while. Tree selection ended up being the only plus for me over a climber. I probably just didn't have the right set of sticks.

I watched a couple videos on these stands and while i like a lot about them, they sure seem noisy. Especially taking the top and bottom apart. Can you do that so it doesn't make noise, because the guys in the videos i watched sure couldn't.

I have a summit viper sd that I really like.
I have a Summit Goliath. It’s made for larger people and I’m a smaller guy but I still like it. My primary bow stand. I really like having the larger standing platform.

Summit Open Shot for bowhunting.
No bar to get in the way of drawing or repositioning for a close/straight down shot.
Change the seat out to a net seat. Lightens it up and makes it deadly silent, as well as more comfortable.

Somebody here posted last February about Amazon selling Summit Viper SD’s for $165. It’s normally $250. I bought one for my son and we really like it. Pretty stable and comfortable. The only knock I have is that it doesn’t fold flat like my ol man does, but it’s easier to set up and pack up. The ol man gets a little narrow if you put it on a skinny tree. If they run them on sale again next February, I’m going to get another one for myself.

XOP, it’s an improved Lone Wolf for a reasonable price. Summits are the most comfortable, but if you are packing in and out they are loud as hell taking apart and setting up. APIs are fairly loud as well, although not nearly as bad as a Summit.
