Different strokes for different folks here. Guys who have messed with LWHC (and Summit alternative) from the early days,
@Adrena123 @mtsrunner @Bwhana, they liked to walk the tree with their platform. I like mine with a post, but mine is substantially bigger than a LWHC or this design, so I’m able to use it more like a stand whereas I have greater maneuverability on the platform instead of around the tree.
Also, I don’t need to hang below the stand to connect/disconnect the post. I did that in the first trial of mine, and soon realized I could just let out some line and do it all crouching down, which was far simpler.
