What’s everyone using for a Treestand?

I’m just wondering what others are using for treestands while hunting? After buying and selling different climbers I’m back to the tried and true Summit Viper.

Leaving the climbers at the camp this year to hunt in a Tethrd Phantom saddle. Using a Lone Wolf hand climber seat for my climbing method and platform. Working out good so far and i'm enjoying not having to tote 20+ lb climbers - I'm a lot more mobile than previous years.

Best I have found so far. I hunt from dark to dark so if on public land and returning to the same tree I just leave it locked there. I use a chain and a big pad lock.

I'm a Summit Goliath fan as well. I actually have two climbers that are mobile and I have put up two as permanent stands in larger trees. On the permanent sets I use strap on ladders to get up and down, I've changed the cable system over to HD straps or chains and secure them so they are rock solid. Super quiet, very comfortable and you can set them up on larger trunk trees.

For early season I use a Hazmore net seat, I cut the strap off the front so it doesn’t dig into my legs and now it’s very comfortable, I don’t want to stink up my Summit cushion seat with sweat. I may stick with the Hazmore this year a bit longer in the season, Hazmore came out with a flip up cushion and it really works great. But when it gets cold you can’t beat the Summit seat.

I have a few enclosed box stands and a few metl ladder stands all winched down tight with steel cabling. But, if I wanna hunt somewhere else I use my Summit Goliath. Only problem I have with it is it's so dang hard to stay awake in it!

Two API Bowhunter stands, one API Grandslam, one Summitt Viper, a couple of ladder stands, and an elevated box blind on a food plot. Don't use the climbers like I used to. I love the challenge and mobility of ground hunting.
