What is the Best Climbing Tree Stand?

rifleboy2
I know that this topic has been posted before but I have a new twist to it. I'm not new to the treestand game and I have owned several different brand of both fixed and climbing stands. My question to the experts is that I'm wondering what is the best climbing treestand, both brand and model, with regards to, all day comfort, and ease/quietness of putting in up. I have heard that either the summit viper or the tree lounge are my best bet. I have owned a tree lounge and liked the comfort and the stablity but it was heavy and noisy to put up. How does the summit compare? A great deal of my problem is that I get up in a tree and really just can't get comfortable. If it helps, I'm a little over six foot tall with really long arms and legs. I only weigh about 160lbs so weight really isn't a factor. Any advice would be great.
Thanks

    Try a Trophy Whitetail stand built in Anderson SC.I have had one for years and have bought other stands,but I always go back to using the Trophy Whitetail.It is well built and is safe and comfortable enough to sleep in.

    I use a Ole Man climbing tree stand (grand Vision model) which is made for us beefy guys. I am not crazy about high places and it has made me feel safe every time I've been in it. I have spent 11 hours in it and found it to be very comfy.
    The seat is a mess net that slides back and forth for the climbing and slides back out of the way when you stand up. Sometimes I use a pad against the tree as a back rest for more comfort vs the tree bark. They make several models, they come with a safety strap, and fold up into a flat package for backpacking. the upper part can be turned down for a foot rest or placed upright for a rifle rest.
    I got mine from Cabales.

    I am 6'0 guy with short legs and long torso. I got a Summit Goliath and LOVE it. It is VERY stable, light, strong, easy to back pack, ultra quiet The larger seat and platform make sitting there ALL day long a breeze. I got it online for 199 bucks. The climbing stirups are easy to use and beat the tar out of the old bungee cord foot holders

    I have an ole man carbonfiber. It's light, quiet, compact and easy to set up. The summits feel more stable on very hard bark like walnut; however, they really tear up a tree. The summit is also 'pinless' which is kind of nice.

    I have used many differnt brands since 1991, Right now I prefer the buckshot stand it can be used Either facing the tree or with your back to it. When facing the tree the back rest adjust up and down and back and forth making it very comfortable, And it come in a larger version for big guys or climing bigger trees. I prefer it over the regular on because it will go on a much larger tree. It is also very light if you will be packing it. Quick and easy to set up also.
