I have a lone wolf hand climber combo. Super light and a hell of a lot easier to pack in vs a summit. It packs very flat. Problem is that it's a hand climber and may be tougher for her to climb with vs something like a summit where you sit and climb. Just an option.

 

Summit makes some smaller, lighter weight stands if you check out their site. I use a Goliath, so I'm not the guy to ask about lightweight climbers[ko]

 

I am 5'4" 115 lbs, and use a Lone Wolf Sit And Climb which is super easy to use. However, not the easiest to handle when packing in video equipment along with a hunting backpack and then a bow or gun, but once you start moving, it's fine. Only problem is if she then shoots a deer . . . no way will she get it all out plus a deer in one trip.

 

thanks guys, I did a google search and a woman said the api grandslam was light and easy for her. I have only ever had loggys and summits. Anyone know anything about the api's? and I looked into lone wolf but I do think she will need a sit and climb type and cabelas has them for like $430 which is a tad steep. Ideas?

 

thanks ms grit, im not concerned with her being by herself because for this season at least I will be with her on every outing. I will handle the dragging and heavy work, I just need a stand she can walk in with a good distance and not be to heavy/bulky/awkward for her. Also setting up needs to be easy in the dark. What exact model do you have grit? You know what Danielle looks like, you think she could handle the stand you have?

 

I am sure she could, but if you'd like we could meet up and she can try it to see of it is a climber she likes and can work with. The one I have is the Sit and Climb Combo.

 

Timbertall treestands. Lightest out there. I had one and recently sold it for a tree walker because I got a little bit too big for the model I had. There are a few different types of models that they make. Very quality stand also as the in tree adjustment knob which comes in handy especially for beginners. deffinetely check it out I think it would be a perfect match and exactly what your looking for.

 

thanks ms grit, sent you a pm. Bowhunternj I will google the company right now, thank you for the input! I want to get it soon and let her practice a bit before the season starts.

 

Check out Ole Man tree stands. I've been using them for about 15 years now. Very light and fold up for an easy compact carry. Also, the pivoting arms make it very safe.

 

XStand Light



You could look into the X stand light at 12lbs, Sportsmans Guide has them on sale

 

Sorry, it's Ol' Man tree stands

 

this is the stand you want it is the new 16 lbs summit viper with dead sound technology.summits are the easiest to use and very comfortable thats why the are the most popular climbing stand on the market.
Viper Elite SD Lightweight Climbing Treestand

 

These are light, but very bulky to carry for a woman or shorter guy. Also the carry straps suck and dig into your shoulders. Super comfy and sturdy though.

 

I suggest the lonewolf sit and climb also.

 

I sent you a text if you want to try a api bring her by man she can try one of mine I have summits api and loggys

 

Cheyenne had a lone wolf sit and climb (the last one) on clearance for like $230. I was going to snap it up but I have 2 of them already.
Give them a call and see if they still have it.
I had an API climber too. great stand but it grew legs and walked

 

I also agree with busnlo for the Viper Elite SD lightweight in terms of weight.

There is also the Mini Viper for smaller framed hunters.

In the past every time I looked at API and they are very heavy.

I've been looking at the X-Stand X-1 Sit N Climb and the Summit Viper Elite SD mostly out of concern for weight. That those might be good if she's concerned with weight of the stand.

 

thanks guys, I will keep do some research tnite after work, I think we will meet up with ms grit sometime very soon and see if the lone wolf will work for my fiancé if not the viper which is what I have may be good, the mini version, and the timbertall stands are like 11 lbs on average so we have some options.

 

I have an API which I've had for about 10 years. Set up is simple.....and they really bite into the tree. Very solid to hunt out of. they are on the heavy side, though.....

 

There's plenty of decent tree stands for woman out there at a decent price, this article might help you out a little. All the best in your search!

 

Sad. [hihi]

let her practice on a telephone pole, nice and easy, get her used to it, and she will have a better experience in the field first time, and it wont end up in the shed.

 

It's been a hard job to suggest a tree stand without knowing the height and the weight of its user. Last month I've purchased a Summit branded tree stand for my sister who's a seasoned hunter. the model I choose was the Summit Titan SD Climbing Tree stand. It was studied enough for her weight. Note that she's a 5'4" medium weight girl. After all the purchase was a great value for money.

 

I had an X stand and it was oK. I am large so I sold it and went back to a Summit Goliath but X stand is light and easy to carry
