Good concept, but I can't imagine spending as much time as I can comfortably
sit in a more traditional climbing stand. If I had the spare money burning
a hole in my pocket I'd consider getting one for those times I'm scouting
new terrain or when far from reasonable access (lugging a traditional
climber a few miles gets old fast).
Be aware that this type of stand requires a way to get up in the tree, so
you'll need a pocketful of screw-in or strap-on steps or other means of
climbing. Unless of course you're as spry as I used to be when I could
climb palm trees barefoot (those days are looong gone).
