When it comes to selecting the perfect climbing tree stand for your next hunting trip we feel that comfort and safety are two of the most important variables to consider.  The Summit Viper SD Climbing Treestand is amazing in both comfort and safety/stability along with many, many more features.  I have had this tree stand for many years and can tell you it is very comfortable and you feel so secure and stable while up in the tree.  I think the primary reason I feel so secure in the stand is how you sit in a sling seat.  This puts the railing slightly above waist height making you really locked in when in a seated position.  Seat is also reversible so you can sit facing towards or away from the tree.

This stand, although being very strong and durable, is constructed of high quality aluminum.  This means it is very lightweight and does not rust.  It hangs on the tree via a cable system that I find really holds nicely.  I have never felt any slippage in this stand thanks to the teeth that bite into the tree on the near side when climbing or sitting still hunting.  The stand weighs only 20 pounds and has great backpack straps that make it a favorite for carrying to those deep spots.  This hunting tree stand is also excellent for hunting in management areas where you are going to carry the stand in and out of the woods each time you hunt.  It sets up super fast and is very quite to carry and climb.

This stand is great for all types of hunting including archery, rifle, shotgun, or black powder.  This stand is available in multiple colors.  You can also select to purchase with an optional footrest which make it like sitting in a recliner.  CLICK HERE to take a look at the camouflage and configuration options.  The plastic loops that hold your feet while climbing are excellent for hunting boots and the bungee cord that goes behind you feet make you feel secure that you will not drop the foot portion during your ascent.  We do recommend that you carry a folding saw for taking down small branches that may in your way while using your climber.  CLICK HERE for one that we find to be the best around for this purpose.  It folds pretty small and cuts like a beast.

Between me an hunting buddies using the Summit Viper Climbing Tree Stand and ready all the discussions and reviews at online retailers and forums, I feel VERY confident telling you that this is the best climber for your next hunt.  On Amazon, for example, this stand has 4.8 stars with over 1300 reviews.  This is a very hard to beat record when it comes to hunting tree stands!  Get yours today and you will not regret choosing the Viper!
