Most of the BEAST veterans have seen these before, but I will post them for the new guys:

Those are nice. Which one are you using and what harness do you use?
Let's go Brandon!

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
A couple of observations...
First I've started stacking my sticks right side up as they sit on the stand while its on your back instead of upside down as I see a lot of guys do. Reason is by stacking them right side up (as they would be set up on the tree) allows the stack to stack in a stair step way downward instead of upward. This makes the sticks sit shorter on your back and less likely to catch on branches and whatnot that you might be moving through or ducking under.
Secondly, I'm seeing a lot of you guys that have recently posted to this thread i in the last year or so use that stick bracket that holds the 4 sticks flat against the stand. How do you guys like these? I've definitely thought of getting one just to make my profile smaller when moving through the woods.

Very much so, also Iv made 3 loop steps that I keep in a stuff sack on stand, that way I only carry 3 sticks but can get tge height most get with 4 or more sricks minus the weight.

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
Glad HM linked this thread in another post because my setup has sure evolved in the past couple of years. LW sticks are now 24" with only 2 steps, the Assault now sports an XOP seat frame, everything has been wrapped or stealth stripped, & the packing system is now basically a molle waist belt vs bulky shoulder straps.

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
My entire set up fits into a very small day pack or fanny pack and I either carry three 21 inch sticks or attach to the pack. My total set up, including the three sticks, weighs less then a current LW Assault stand. If I wear my saddle I just have 3 sticks and my bow to carry

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
I purchased the stick talons last week, just waiting for them to come in, I am seriously debating the molle gear. Used it a lot in the military so I know how comfortable it is during long stretches, just trying to talk myself into it!

You really just need the molle waist belt & they're cheap. Makes all the difference in the world. I run non padded 1" wide shoulder straps now as the belt holds all the weight.

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
Thats a good point. I am just not a fan of the staps that come provided with the lone wolfs, stand digs into my back and the straps leave my shoulders torn up. I may buy the whole set, they are cheap enough, and do some experimenting.

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
i don't have a pic for you-
i carry LW Assault w / 4 LW sticks. i have never carried backpack style and have never seen anyone else carry like the way i do it.
i have ONE web strap attached to one side of the stand. Sticks go on edge of stand with a small long web strap w/ snap clip ( similar to bungee style ).
Then this gets carried shoulder bag style with strap over my head on opposite shoulder with stand on my right side.
i carry a small shoulder bag on the other side with the usual must have stuff. The strap on the shoulder bag is adjusted to a length that i usually just carry my bow laying right on top of it, tucked under my left arm.
Harness on, Bino's on. Carry jacket / coat on stand, strapped or not.
Where i can i use Treehopper bit / bolts for steps. Drill and steps in bag. Drop sticks out of carry when i don't need them obviously.
i'm one trip up tree and one down with steps. Still make two trips up w / sticks. Rope for bow / jacket goes up w / me, stuff attached.

Re: Mobile guys - Post a pic of how you pack your setup in
LOVE! RidgeReapers bicycle tube covers for LW cam buckles. i will be doing that for sure.
A pic of how i carry would explain it better than i did. The LW sticks lay on top of the edge of the stand, one bracket laying on seat, the other end bracket on the narrow base of stand. It's all pretty flat. You can carry either end out front, either side of your body. It all steers through stuff really nice and the weight is balanced if you try it.
When i go up the tree, having the stand on one side, one strap, makes it easy to transition to hanging it.
Just a different way of doing it and it works for me. i usually end up about 30-50 sets a year, sometimes up the same tree, often not.

People seem to love those Lone Wolf hand climbers. What is so attractive about them? Been looking for a new lightweight climber.
