[Hunting Man]

welcome to the ladder stand club. :wink: I've been using one for a long time. They are the safest, easiest stand to put up. I wish they could make a 16' one around 35 lbs in weight. I have an old Trax grizzly that's over 15 years old, that still goes to PA every year.

That's a big heavy ladder. After I get my brace bar cinched up I just keep my weight close to the tree. Having help setting up is a welcome bonus.
