[QUOTE="Debo03, post: 3889584, member: 15781"] I have used many, There are a ton of varieties, all with different weights, sizes and features that can be very useful and some are a MUST HAVE! Though not always the case, this statement usually carries true in my experience. "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"! Stands from companies like LoneWolf can get really expensive but the quality and safety that comes with the pricetag is often unmatched. My recommendation is to go with this option, or for a slightly smaller pricetag with very similar products XOP treestands. There are many other brands that make quality loc-ons (muddy, big game, ameristep, millinium, field and stream, hawk, etc.) but none as quiet, solid, light, and versatile as LoneWolf or XOP. Their platforms are 1 piece Cast aluminum so you don't get all the creaking and cracking that most welded stands get at the worst time. If used correctly with correct safety harness and linesman belt they every bit as safe as any climber or ladder stand or EVEN SAFER. The key is to REMAIN TIED IN TO THE TREE AT ALL TIMES. There are good youtube videos that show you exactly how to do so. Ex. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPHkbZrw4aw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPHkbZrw4aw[/url] I would dare to say that 99% of people who use ladder stands are not attached to a safety harness while ascending or descending the ladder. In this case I would consider those people to be in more danger than using a good loc-on CORRECTLY with a good safety harness and remaining connected to the tree at all times. And trust me, I've worked in residential roofing, falling from a ladder while climbing up and down is a very real risk, even at 8-12 feet. [/QUOTE]
