Well, my current collection includes API, Lock-On self leveling, Lock On hang on and I added a Lone Wolf sit and climb last year. I have had Loggy Bayou in the past and had it break at the metal reciever for the strap. My previous Summit was awfully uncomfortable climbing. The Lone Wolf is by far the best I have ever used, carried or climbed totally silent with. It does not creek, is very stable and comfortable. This stand and I are headed to Canton Ill. 3rd week of November for 2 weeks so I'll get lots of seat time while bowhunting and filming. Best part of the Lone Wolf is it pack's flat at about 4" and I think 17lbs. or less.
Good Luck,
Brad
