I use the Summit Viper SD. I pack that climber anywhere from 1/2 to 2 miles over rough, steep, rocky Ozark big timber public land. First thing I did was attach a MOLLE II waist belt and shoulder straps. That's a must for comfortable packing. I replaced the bulky factory seat with a net sling seat and added a set of Third Hand Archery stabilizer straps. The Summit is easy climbing and very comfortable for all day sits. The stabilizer straps make it solid as the recliner at home. My son uses a Lone Wolf stand and loves it. The one thing I do like about the Lone Wolf is how flat it will nest together and pack up for carrying.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
