Ahh yes! I remember my tree lounge days! I had the 'Margaret special'! Came with a roof and curtains, pillow, all kinds of misc cushions, bow platform, gun rail, gun rail curtain, gun and bow holders, for a grand total of about 937lbs!!!
Unfortunately, I lost the whole setup in a house fire at the family camphouse.
I do recall the foot climber however. Mine was the last remake (that I know of). It was smaller than the old square ones with the 'v' in the back. Wish I had a nickel for everytime one of those went down the tree on me... that was before I was old enough to realize I needed to tie everything together apparently.
I also tried the jx3 last year. It was alright as far as comfort goes but the silhouette was like a 'redneck truck in a tree' blind. Sold it.
I've just about tried em all, except the LWHC, which I would probably love. Go figure.

The LWHC tree stands sucks to climb with. Even a dip style climbing aid is way easier. I really like the Sit and Climb though, minus the weight and bulk.
If you've the right trees, the LWHC top as a climbing platform really is the bees knees. But, it has questionable durability and with even small design modifications would be much better.
It sounds like, and I do believe, this will be the year for a climber come back, whether that means micro climbers or climbing platforms. A well done purpose built climbing system will be a major upgrade to diy and a hot ticket.
