Awesome breakdown! Thank you sir.

Great video man! I am brand new hunter and still figuring out how I want to get into a tree. A lot of useful info on the benefits of each system for specific scenarios, where you're going and what type of environment it is. For what I will probably be doing, the saddle is seeming to be my best option so far.

That was an awesome video. Very informative about the different setups

Great video! I've been seeing a lot of folks using the bottom half of a climber/saddle combo that eliminate the need for steps. I'm thinking about trying that method. It seems that it would be so much easier than fumbling with strapping on steps while going up a tree. If you have the right setup you can rappel down or simply climb back down.

New Subscriber. I just started a new channel n was going to call it Oak n Iron. Because of my little diy stix. I was thinking of it for almost 2 yrs. Just dropped the hammer. Oh, it suits you way better. Oak n Iron is that what you eat? lol. Take a look at what I'm doing. I think you'll like it, especially the stand mod. (One Stixing like a BOSS). I hope you do, and you leave a comment. Thanks

XOP cast climber will run you $330 which is the stand you have as Lone Wolf is no longer. LWCG Crossover Climber is $999 and is a fully machined aluminum stand. Just as a reference.

Are those saddles a complete harness or not? I could tell in the video. Was that a lone wolf climber? If it was, they were made in manitowoc aluminum foundry. I don't know if they're made there anymore.
