I am going to soon be buying another hang on stand. Most of my hangers are left in place through the season but I have a couple I use for temporary set-ups. I am wanting another for temporary set-ups. I would value your thoughts.

I know the Millennium is the most comfortable and the LW likely the quietest. I want one that is comfortable (I do not particularly like the LWs for long sits) but I want one where I can shoot behind the stand and with the back rest on the Millennium M100 and M150 I think the back of the seat would get in the way of shooting behind the tree. I do not need a back rest but do prefer a suspension or net style seat. I want at least 30" platform and would prefer a footrest. I am tall enough and old enough where shorter than that is tough on my knees for a long hunt.

Weight is always important but 15 lbs or less for the stand is fine.

Ease of hanging is a big factor but one being slightly easier to hang than another won't be a deciding point. A stand being a pain to hang would rule it out for this use.

Thanks in advance.

Milllinium M-60, its light, comfortable and sets up easily also. I have a couple and really like them.

I don't own one but know folks that do, as far as ease of hanging, the Chippewa Wedge-Locs maybe the easiest ones to hang of all the hang-on stands out there.

The old Gorrilla stands were pretty good....I have 4 of the King Kongs. I believe another company called Hawk bought the rights or patents and I have one of their new ones with the mesh backrest. Not sure if this fits your requirements but FYI anyway.
