I used to use the cheaper stands, but have been phasing them out. I'm 20' up a tree, I want the piece of mind that a sturdier stand gives me I guess. For my stands that stay put through the season I really like my Millenniums just for the comfort factor. For being mobile, my Lone Wolf and 4 sticks are hands down top notch, love hunting with them.

I gotta agree my lone wolf assault II with my lone wolf sticks are the best for being mobile and packing in I only hunt public so far and my one spot is 47 min walk from my truck so that's far to pack a stand sticks my pack and my bow and the lone wolf is so quiet and light I have 5 sticks but usually only use 4 and if you get there stick quiver it's even better but the best for mobility is lone wolf hands down there worth the money and they have great customer service at that I bought a stick and it was kinda broke but still usable they sent me a brand new one and told me to keep the damaged one the only thing that was wrong was the circle on the stick were the strap goes was cracked more like chipped a half quarter size piece was missing .
I really like the hand on stands that have a swivel seat so they hunt more like a tripod in a tree. I found one at sportsmansguide that we love.
Here's a deal that I think would be very hard to beat for the price. Over $100 off and free shipping. http://www.fieldandstreamshop.com/p/xop-outdoors-maximus-hand-on-treestand/15xouumxmshngnxxxtsb Blessings........Pastorjim
I have a Hawk Helium XL with climbing sticks. Great price as the stand is $140. They have sales this time of year too. Weighs 12 pounds and a big platform. Great hang on. The helium sticks I found on academy sports for $69 a set. I picked up 2 sets for $140. They usually sell $99 for 3 and $40 a single. I carry ; and get about 18 feet up. Look at XOP as well. I have the Sit and Climb climber. Awesome stand!!! Buy yourself some Molle straps off amazon for $17 and good to go. Incredible with those straps!
