If Wholesale Sports is anything like the one in Calgary don't bother buying a stand from them.They are all small and cheap looking.I purchased a Kong from Jim Bows and they have the largest platform in the industry.The seat is 4 inch foam and is removable so the squirrels can't chew it.It comes complete with safety harness,2 inch webbing and backpack straps.The steel frame wieghs in at 16 lb.and cost $136,the alum is a few lbs. lighter and cost around $189.I see the kong is out in bigger size now and am going to look at it tomorrow.You might want to look into a self climber,looks like an easychair but are very pricey and I think they are limited to what type of tree you can use,no limbs.Hope this helps.<P>mike
