Looking to add another climber to pile.
Like the basic setup of climbers for archers.
I have a lone wolf and I was looking for something as safe but possibly a little lighter and cheaper(but safe)
250 pound guy with me and all my equipment.
TIA

Cheaper shouldn't be hard to find. But lighter,not sure. My basic lone wolf climber base and hand climber(the small one) is only around 15lbs.
It's the only one I've ever used. My buddies have several summits. They are really comfortable but are a little heavier and a lot bulkier to carry.

XStand X1 is only 11 pounds! I have been thinking of getting one myself.

Just looked up that X1. Interesting concept. I wouldn't mind trying those out. I wonder how stable they feel once locked in place. My lone wolf feels very stable.

Portaclimb treestands made in Charlotte NC are what I have used for years. You can buy the convertible which faces away from the tree or toward it. I can hunt at any height and feel totally safe. The older I have gotten the more I bowhunt facing the tree. Super comfortable. Its a small company. I am 6'4" and he actually made me an oversized version with more foot room for me.
