Recommendations on a fatman climber

[MONSTERKEN]

Alright guys and gals, Im thinking Id like to get a climber tree stand, but because Im not exactly what one would call skinny, Im a little leary on what is out there for climbers. Just to throw it out there, lol, im over 250lb mark, and I know most are rated for 300lbs. What I am most worried about is having something fail while I'm in the tree, and yes, I have a harness, Im mostly worried about the construction of the climber. So my question for you "Clydesdale Class" gentlemen what do you use and recommend? There is quite a few climber brands out there. For instance, CamoFire has a Muddy Stalker for a little over $100 today, is it worth it, or shall I pass and keep looking?? TIA!!

I'm at 265#'s and use Ol' Man climbers. I have the Grand Ol' Man, but it's an older model. It's comfortable, easy to set up, and lite.

Edit: If your worried about trust; either Don't use a climber, or climb a few feet off the ground and get used to your equipment before going straight up a tree. Shift, move around, settle in for a bit and get familiar with it. Things Won't be the same when it's 5 a.m./7 p,m...

Fat men don't need to be in a climber lol.

I had the same concern and just purchased a Summit Titan, which I read is the largest one they make. Will be using it for the first time this weekend, so keeping fingers crossed.

I will try and do a youtube review of it, and hopefully give my thoughts. I've never been a climber due to my heft as well (275), but after seeing my buddy be so successful in the thickest of East Texas I had to make the jump.

Ol'Man Climber is the only way to go!!!

Can or do you shoot while sitting (I understand stand placement is key here)?

Sit your Fanny down in a climber. I'm 6'2'', and hit 240. I use the ol' man grand multi vision. Rated at 400 lbs. Safety harness always, specially if you are prone to get a nap in while hunting. The thing about the old man is that you can flip it over for bowhunting.
