What’s the advantage/disadvantage to a stand that faces the tree?
It allows you to use the tree as cover and to rest your gun on to shoot, but it's almost impossible to bowhunt out of.
If things get shakie, I can grab the tree, lol
But it does give a rifle brace. It can hide movement. Block sight of deer ( but you too to small extent)
But for me, when I nod off, I fall forward...

If you can find a Tree Walker stand, they do. They’re no longer made but man, they were well made.
I use a Summit climber, it’s the only one I’ve used. I lean back into the tree and lightly doze at times.
Exact same stand and scenario but my wife’s cousin that as a kid, lived with us for a yearCadillac

Sold it to buy meth. Funny how meth heads justify things.. “ I didn’t think you wanted since it was left in woods”
I've hunted from a Tree Lounge for the last 20 years. Tree is behind you so you have a full view. Can use your knees or side rails for a brace. You sit IN it rather than ON it. They are very comfortable. I have taken many naps in mine. You would have to work hard to fall out. Not made anymore but you can find them on craigslist or sometimes gun websites

Ole man makes a great one. (probably the best) You climb facing the tree and then move the very comfortable mesh seat to face looking out to hunt.

You can watch the way the upper and lower portions bite into the tree and make sure all is well before continuing your climb.

Was going to suggest the same. Treewalker with a Hazemore seat has been my go-to for 6 years now. Away from the tree or facing it. With the rail or without. Getting into saddle hunting this season to let me slip into some deep woods areas with less bulk and more quietly, but the Treewalker is still an awesome climber to slip in to doe beds just off the fields.
That ones pretty crappy.
Should have chained him to a tree.

XOP is run by Cody Daquisto, son of the original owner of Lone Wolf, Andrei. And Andrei was brought in as a consultant for some of the current designs. XOP makes some really well thought-out gear and brought a few designs back from the dead from companies that didn’t survive, such as the Bow Bat that was originally made by GamePlanGear (love their bow cases).
Oddly enough, Andrei retained rights to the Lone Wolf name and started up a second company, Lone Wolf Custom Gear. Some of the nicest, most Gucci-hunter stands and sticks I’ve ever seen.
Anyways, that’s enough of me boring you all. Hope you enjoy the new stand!!!
