Anyone ever use a Gorilla Expedition climber?

I need a decent climber to leave at a spot on the property and was wondering about them. Gander Mountain has them for $129. Figured if they were decent I would grab one. If not then I'll just go with a Summit and take it down when i'm done with it.

I have been using gorillas since they 1st came out -- a bit heavy but well built -

Thanks, None of the Ganders around me have them in stock, I would rather look at it in person but may order one and take my chances. The weight doesn't bother me since i'll be using it on our property and will use the 4 wheeler to transport it. No hiking with it..

Not really made for a large feller. if your slim there nice. the way the sides pivot in to the size of the tree can make for some tight sits.

True....and my bottom section is pretty noisy when you stand.

Staying seated it's pretty quite.
