I'm planning on getting a self climbing tree stand in the next few weeks to use during late archery. I like the lone wolf stands but at $379 it seems a bit steep. Summit seems to make some good self climbers and I've read mostly good to great reviews on the model that sells for around $280.

So which self climber do you have and what do you like and dislike? I'd like one that's easy to pack in and out and that is quiet. The reason I want a self climber is since I don't own land to hunt on I figure it'a easier than installing foot pegs, and I'm not into the idea of having my stand stolen if I were to set up and leave it for a few days.
