RE: Tree Stand
If your going to buy one thats heavy get the tree lounger. It's not the most mobile climber but man is it safe when you are in it and like sitting in a lazy boy for comfort. I like to hunt all day and when you add the bow hunters accessory so you can stand up and stretch it is THE most comfortable, sturdy and high climbing stand I've even been in.
Not the easiest thing to get on and off the tree but I mount it and hunt it for a few days and it works out great. If you want to be taking it on and off the tree everytime you go in the woods get you one of those little light weight cable climbers...

I have two of the older models (Tempered Aircraft Aluminum Square Tubing) which I bought about 10yrs ago. The only stand made that can climb a steel pole without slipping.
Would'nt have any other!!

You need to look at Strongbuilt's "Sling Seat Chain-On" Stand. It is similar to the Cabelas stand. I am sure they are much the same. I have one without the shooting rail because most distances I shoot are 150 yds or less. I am not an all-day hunter, but if I had to pick a stand to stay in all day it would be this one...IT IS SO COMFORTABLE once your in it. Its really only got one problem and that is that it is awkward to put up. IT is rock solid in the tree though because it has 2 ratchet straps and a chain, so you feel safe getting in it and sitting. If you gun hunt the same spots year after year, this stand cannot be beat.

RE: Tree Stand
Get you someone to help you put it up, and you'll be fine. It is worth the effort though as its a dream to sit in. The only other thing I can say since I see you live in Canada, is when it snows the snow will lay in the seat and stick to it. When the snow hardens after a day or so, its stuck to the seat and hard and loud to get off, so either cover your seat with something or take it off and turn it upsde down and just put it on when u get in it.
