I hang and hunt from dozens of them every year, and once locked down on the tree, they are safer than any climber on the market! Thats a good deal on that combo as well. If it were the sectioned sticks instead of all one piece I would have already ordered one myself!

One thing you can do to add a little stability and more peace of mind (if needed) is to add an additonal rachet strap down near the platform. It will take out some of the "wiggle" and add to your sense of security.
ditto to this. I do this on every one of my lock-on's. It really does make it more sturdy and will make you more comfortable.

Yeah I understand that Cecil, but they are the kind that stacks together VS. the kind that are all hung separately and can actually be on different sides of the tree or even in 2 different trees altogether. I have both types and the separate ones are just more versatile, IMO anyway!

I have the smallest hang on that summit makes, I mean it's small. I did put an extra strap on it.
I've got a friend who'll go about 300lbs and he used it about a half a dozen times this year with no problems. Not sure I would have done it...but he did
