Gorilla Tree stands recieved the "2007 Best of The Best" award from Field and stream.

The Gorilla Pro-Series Greyback™ Deluxe Hunter Model 47026 is probably the quietest, safest & lightest to haul around climber tree stand I've ever used
and I think If you shop around you can find them for around 150 bucks. that's my opinion.

That Equalizer looks great the leveling feature would be handy. I am afraid to ask how much.

I ordered the free video I will check it out. The gorilla's they sell at walmart are junk thats just my opinion, my uncle has one I have hunted out of it.

i think they, the wally world gorillas, are great, for the $$. just have to get rid of that fishing net seat and get one like on the summit. got 5 set up like that and they're super. $50 for the climber (after hunting season clearance), $15 for a new seat. total $65. and you can't shake them out of the tree once they are locked in.

I'm guessing you probably havent seen their newest design, it's super comfy.

Pro-Series Greyback™ Deluxe Hunter

I'm not positive but about 2 months ago I saw one at Dicks sporting goods and I think it was 159.95 or 169.95
So i'd bet they can be found on the net for a buck fifty..

I had been looking at the climbers but after reading these post and watching the video I think i'll stick to my box stands. I can build a decent 4x8 for $165 with Lexan windows. It just don't get much safer than a box and my girls can hunt with me too.
