I am not a fan of heights so what is a good solid deer stand

[silvergts1998]

I am looking to get a tree stand. I am a little afraid of heights. LOL! So I want something sturdy. Should I go with a ladder type stand that goes up against a tree? I think those are sturdy right? I saw one from field and stream that had a camo tent on it which I thought was nice because of the cover I would get against the wind plus I could move around without being spotted.

THoughts?

Im not a huge fan of heights either and by far my favorite stand is my 16 foot 2 person ladder stand. It has plenty of room for me and my gear, has a full gun rest all the way around, plus has the blind with roof to keep most of the weather off of my head. The large platform and seat almost make me forget that I am up in a tree. My second favorite is my climber, it has the gun rest bar around it, so it gives me a more secure feeling. I have been using stand for about 5 or 6 years now and next year I am going to try a hang-on to see if I am comfortable with one of those. Here is a pic of my ladder stand:
