The only thing I know is I would like to buy a two person stand simply to have more room. My wife and I will take turns in the stand so it should be easy for her to get up and down as well.
Thoughts?
My 'FAV' ladder tree stand is a 'Big Dog' brand. It's not a 2 man but has ample room, 27" inside, good foot room and foot rest. Also has shooting rail that can be left UP, which is behind you against the tree, or swivels down in front of you.
It is 17 1/2' to the seat and DOUBLE tubed ladder for strength and rigidity. The ladder is in 3 sections then the platform is wider -27"- inside. It feels very comfortable and mine came with seat cushion and shooting rail camo cover.
I've had/used smaller ladder stands and have looked at 2 man stands which are necessarily heavier and bulkier.
I've had mine several yrs and I don't know if they're still on the market. IF you can find a Big Dog, I highly recommend them based on mine. Mine was $120. but I expect they're higher today, inflation you know.
Good Luck
