Has anyone tried one of these out yet? I'm thinking about trying one out. I ground hunt where I can but some areas are better hunted from up high. Here is the link: https://www.advancedtreestands.com/product/take-down-i2/
Looks heavy for its size but unique idea. Not sure how that could help my hunting. Ever try a lone wolf? Super easy to hang, lighter, and dead quiet.
It's different,,, but there are simpler, lighter stands on the market. I think the Lone Wolf Assault with 3 climbing sticks weighs less.
I watched a YouTube review on this treestand and it was very noisy to me when the sales representative demonstrated the installation! Not for me either... I will stick to ground hunting.
There are other tree stands, of course. As has been suggested, Lone Wolf makes a very good one.
My ground blind is much quieter and I don't have to climb a tree. I'm getting too old for that.
I have equipment that is way better and 15 years old. I am suspect of those reviews. A quick glance not advanced and I am not interested.

A friend in our local club has one and brought it to a club meeting one afternoon for everyone to see and try out on a tree by the clubhouse. Its nice to be able to take the stand apart piece by piece but I personally don't see any advantages in being able to do that, others might think different, but I like a simple one piece stand.

Just a hang on with the ratchet strap built in. I don't think I'd bite.
too heavy for me. I like the idea of ratchet straps that might make it easier to install, but I mostly hunt public land and weight is all too important.
Watched the youtube videos and looked at site. I will stick with my Chippewa stand, strap on tree, stand in strap, hunting.
18.5 lbs. That's not my definition of lightweight. I have stands that when combined with 4 rapid rail sections weigh 18 lbs.
