HAHAHAHA lol

Them teeth!! They bite good

yeah it is.... I wish it was cheaper...

The price is what's delaying my purchase 😂 shits getting expensive

Great looking stand! Looks like I’ll have to take out a second mortgage to buy one!🤑🙈

@@johnbowhunter7676 super expensive....

Absolutely! Thanks for watching. I also seek mostly straight trees as well when I saddle hunt so it's a perfect replacement option.

I actually reached out to LWCG on it and they said the same thing, that my tubes need to be lubricated. It makes sense since when I hunteed with it last year it didnt do it or if It did, it was too quiet to notice.

Glad you enjoyed it

No doubt!! 👌

Thanks man! I put some work into this one!! Thanks

Thanks man! I appreciate that comment. It's a long video but I felt like it was needed since there is so much to cover on this stand! I think people who are really interested in it will want to watch the whole thing but most won't.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Thats a balsy move cotten, Im not sure im athletic enough for all that HAHAHAHa.....

Nice, any issues with it or are you overall happy with the stand?

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors no man no issues at all i use it with my tax 5 minimalist saddle and some hunts I sit and some I lean in my saddle I love it better than climbing sticks I am not limited to how high I can get. You did a great review on it

yeah that's the way I rationalize these expensive purchases in my mind... The cost over 5-10 years of use... 100$ per year.

Yeah up in norther Michigan is where this thing is really going to shine for us. I pumped to take it up this season, I will be up in Indian river this rifle opener.

I didn't even think of that, those little white bushing things?

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors put a light in the end of the tubing where the belt goes in. Just rub your finger on the inside and you will feel what I mean. It’s almost like they put it there to prevent wearing on the belt

I was able to hunt 3 times with it, all in November, they held up fine. It's my understanding they are made from the old material that has been a proven traction belt from the early 2000s on the old lone wolf hand climbers.

Bingo, each persons spending is relative to there income vrs what they wanna spend money on. 1,000 bucks is nothing to a lot of people... I am not one of those people lol

I 100% agree, the cost is a hard pill to swallow.....

Thanks, No Im not sure who that is.

I guess it boils down to how u want to skin the cat... There are many ways to skin the cat these days and I will agree with you that sticks and a small stand are probably the best way to go since you can get into any tree that way. I think in many ways the people who prefer climbers are the ones who have always just used climbers their whole life and have been wanting to get something like this to save some weight. $1,000 for a climber is crazy expensive… I wish it was more affordable and to be 100% honest with you, if I didn’t make money from KZfaq and do these videos I’m not sure that Id own it just due to the price tag. Now that I own it, yeah its definitely a Cadillac.

Oh I can see the use for it as far as it makes my Summit look like a 1960’s vintage stand. There definitely isn’t anything like it on the market and is a lane completely on its own!!! If you tucked the straps in tight it looks like about the size of a 1.0 and that’s nuts!!! A climber that weights 12-15lbs WOW. My Summit setup to hunt and with what I take with me in woods weights close to 30-34lbs. However having a deluxe seat and a hard stationary rail all around me it’s truly like sitting in a lazy boy in the living room. Also up here in Maine we are primarily gun hunters and having that stationary shooting rail is worth its frustration getting into the woods. However run n gun not so much as it’s loud and cumbersome in woods. I typically identify a spot while still hunting and scouting then bring it in and leave it locked at base of tree ready to use. The super mobile aspect comes into play when I don’t know what tree I’m setting up in and I will always choose a micro stand and sticks or my saddle setup so no tree is off limits. Even saddles and say a .5 are becoming cost prohibitive. A .5 with 4 of my latitude carbon sticks along with pack to carry small bits of gear is running that same $1000. Saddle about $800 but there’s multi uses to those and no limits. I think if I were exclusively a bow hunter this stand would peak my interest a little more as the rail isn’t wanted during bow hunting. Still as usual it’s a great review of a top end product!!!!

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors and that's one of the things I really like about your reviews. You really do a great job covering everything about it. good video & detail on all its bells & whistles, and then 1k price tag. You said the difference we all understand thou,. If a guy just wants to go out & meat hunt, a 300 pos bow from walmart will get the job done, but if you want top end gear, me I been shooting Mathews since the Legacy came out. We all have different Budgets for our toys.

The old lone wolf? How did they break? The original Lone wolf was sold then several years later closed down. Ive never heard of a LONE Wolf Custom Gear breaking ever.

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors One of them the platform snapped in half where it bites into the tree about 3" forward of that I'm 185lbs, and the other one besides the straps breaking, they legs that slide to lock in place just got sloppy and out of spec. its basically not unable because it won't tighten down anymore. One was pretty old maybe 6 years ago? the other is only 2 years old.

Lone wolf or XOP? I dont believe lone wolf even made climbers 2 years ago.

hahaha thats funny, I remember when the beast stand came out and Dan had to lose weight to use it lol. Yeah u gotta lose some weight to use this one too!! lol
