I am actually considering trying one of the aluminum models, probably the CTS. Though I still love my Lone Wolf sitnclimb, the Ol Man might get a chance. Anybody else here tried any of the newer model Ol Mans?
Haven't tried a newer model, but I've had an ol man for years. I think it's a great stand. IF you are looking at them, take a peek at the treewalker stands too. Similar but IMO just a tad nicer.
I love my Ol Man. I just bought a LW hand climber for my longer hikes, but if I know where I'm going and I am gonna be there awhile, I'll take the Ol Man over just about anything.
have had my ole man for 10 or better yrs now,still keeps me up there and safe.Climber with mesh seat.Works either way on tree(toward or away)Its in better shape than I am,lol
