Turkey247 has it right. My first stand was an API Star. Still use it today, although I'm either going to trade or sell it for a lighter stand since I have so far to walk. That thing is rock solid. Sharp teeth to dig in and its really comfortable.
Like you, I was scared to death. Practice at home, and practice like you would hunt. (Pull your gear up, test shooting position, etc) The biggest thing for me to build confidence was to practice.
Find a harness your comfortable with as well. I hated the idea of those seatbelt type that came with my stand, so I bought a vest style from HSS.
Lots of good info from this thread.
