Back country tree stand

Which tree stand do you guys recommend for use in the woods and why? I'm thinking about weight, seat size, how quiet they are and other variables that maybe I haven't thought of. Thanks

Ok, maybe I need to be a little more specific. Is any one familiar with the Lone Wolf Assault II or the Drury Evolution? They have caught my eye because they are both light at around 10 pounds, nut I'm curious if they are good to hunt out of.

Have not used the Drury. The lone wolf is a solid stand but the plat form on the assault is smaller than I like. Unless they have changed the padding on the seat it felt like I was sitting on a board after a 1/2 hour. Good stand but I will pack a little more weight for comfort.

Swede our treestand expert likes using the millineum stands. They do look pretty nice too!

There is one on Camofire right now that weights 10#. Amerastep Avenger or something like that. $104!

I got the millenium m100 earlier this fall, it's around 15# but I spend some money on lone wolf sticks to keep the overall weight down. Granted I don't have any experience with other stands but it's quiet, easy to set up and has a pretty big platform. Packed it in about 3 miles and plenty of vertical first outing, worked ok. I really recommend the lone wolf sticks too, solid, lightweight.
