I think you're thinking of Chippewa?

Yes had mine for 10 years, and still going strong.  Hands down the best, safest and easiest stand I have ever had and used.

Sold and moved to IL, but still making them!  I have two...  Had one for years and someone decided they needed it more than me.  Must have cut the stand because my steel braided cable and lock was still in the tree.

They are available under new ownership. I sold my Lonewolf stands and have been using the Chippawa Wedgeloc stands for over 10 years. Toddster said it best.

Ok--I have a Chippewa and a LWolf hang-on stands--10+ yrs. I love them both and have hunted 100s and 100s of hours out of both. A couple of weeks ago,I hunted out of my Chip in some freezing rain. I won't do that again. The LW's stand surface has much better grip. Again, I love both of these hang-ons. Jmho Peace!
