[QUOTE="tahtah, post: 4543246, member: 19176"] I've used both. When I was solely hunting private property, I used hang-on stands 100%. I initially used screw in steps, but switched to climbing sticks. As noted already, you can get into almost any tree. You can hide yourself among the limbs. It's a little harder with climbing sticks, I use the summit sticks that stack on top of one another, but with screw in steps, I've gotten into some really crazy trees. But one of the biggest advantages that I don't think has been mentioned, you put it up and leave it. When you're ready to hunt, you walk in, climb up and hunt. When you're done or need a break, you just climb down and you're done. Again, that's private land where you can leave your stand. When I started hunting public land, I switched to a summit climber. It took me a bit to get used to the difference, but I'd say the comfort of my climber is the number 1 biggest difference! As others have mentioned, you can't get into just any tree. And of course you literally install and climb your stand each time you hunt. But due to the comfort, if I'm going to carry a stand in each hunt, I'll pick my summit climber every time. [/QUOTE]
