Lonewolf are good stands. I've been using it for around 8 years and would recommend them to a friend.
Having both a fixed position and a climber is a good combo. Hang the fix where you plan to hunt most, and run about with the climber.
Good luck with whatever you buy. Summit also make good stands.

Im a whitetail hunter and there is no chance in hell you would see me dragging those thru the woods then cutting every limb off the tree as u go up! then the slding of the top and bottom up the tree! :yike:  maybe u can do that with elk or mule deer, but the last thing I am trying to do is alert deer to my exact location..all about silence getting in and out

Summit, lightest possible. They aren't loud if you do it right.

I am really liking my summit razor, haven't had a chance to use it too much yet though.

 It isn't very good as a backpack though; I'm considering getting a backpack frame w/ shelf to lash it on along with my other gear, and bag with all my foxpro stuff for predator calling.

 All the hanging stands I've found don't seem to pack very well and can be noisy or rattling with the straps they give you. I started using my Cabela's Outfitter pack frame to pack my stands in. You can strap them down good and tight and also the Cabela's pack has better adjustments for packing the weight over distances. Try it, you'll like it!

I have a gorilla tree stand and love it. I like the ability to relocate my tree stand if conditions or animal activity changes. Where with a hanging stand or ladder stand you are stuck in one place.
