I own many different tree stands, from APIs, Ole Mans, Gorillas and Loggys. Some are better than others, but most all of them carry the potential to make noise. I like to stand up when I shoot. I try to stand up as early as possible, partly because of my concern that my stand might creak or pop. It is a problem that has cost me deer in the past. It is tough enough to beat a deer's nose, let alone their ears. That is why I've been looking at the Lone Wolf treestands.
They solve this problem by manufacturing their platforms in one piece cast aluminum. This provides a sturdy, but silent base. No creaks or pops from hollow tubes or worn welds. They have also added non-slip footing to their base to minimize the possibility of slips. The one piece aluminum platform is at the core of their quality design. It doesn't stop there though. They have minimized the amount of moving parts on their stands.
Lone Wolf has several models of Hang On Stands, Climbers, and Climbing Sticks. They also offer a selection of hand climbers and seats. Their hang on stands typically weigh in the 11-22 lb range, but have a weight rating of approximately 350 lbs. I'm particularly fond of the Assult Hang On Stand, that comes in at 11 lbs ... Ideal for a long hike into the woods.
As far as climbers go, I like the Lone Wolf Alpha Sit & Climb. It weighs just 20 pounds, a huge platform, and a comfortable, contoured foam seat pad and back rest. It fits trees betwee 6" - 19" in diameter, but longer traction belts are available for larger trees. The Alpha Sit & Climb has an exclusive cam-action fastening system that features a locking tooth design. This makes for easy on and easy off, as well as easy adjustment.
Lone Wolf has also made a Wide version of the Alpha Sit & Climb. It only weighs one pound more at 21 lbs, but has a roomy 21" wide seat.
So if you are in the market for a new stand, check out what Lone Wolf has to offer. Lone Wolf is making a lot of noise amongst hunters, but their stands are quiet as can be.
