New Stand

Unread postby WVFrid » Thu Jan 15, 2015 2:48 am

Just curious as to which stand most of you guys use. After seing Dan's video on the LW Handclimber, that may be what I end up getting for next season. Light, Quiet, and perfect for setting up close to those buck beds. Just wanted to see if there was any other stands out there that I should consider. Thanks in advance guys.

most here seem to prefer a lw alpha or xop with lw/xop climbing sticks.

I have the Lonewolf Alpha and 4 climbing sticks. It's a great setup and would definitely recommend it. Be sure to get the stealth strips and yak grips to help silence the stand even more. They work great!

I use lone wolf Assault since most places I hunt are very far back. I use Alpha some also. I use 5 lone wolf sticks 1 muddy stick all stealth stripped. You can't go wrong with Lone Wolf. My assault and sticks fit perfectly in locking truck box alpha won't fit so when I'm on quick hunts after work I have my gear at all times in truck box.

Sorry not trying to change thread but What type of box do you have? I was planning in getting a box for my truck but this is one thing that I want it for.. And to the Op I also like the assault for the longer walks and tighter spots but for longer sitsI like the alpha

I now used a lonewolf portable with 4 climbing sticks. I own both the portable and the lone wolf self climber. But I favor the portable because you can hang on a straight tree with limbs.

Lone Wolf or XOP.

I had been 100% climbing stand user up til now. I finally realized how much noise I make w/ (even LW) climbers that is not necessary.

Also, a stick & platform are much more versatile, especially w/ limbed and crooked trees.

Best of luck to you!

I use a lw handclimber. Perfect setup when trees are right. Looking to invest in stand/sticks combo for my mobile hunts as I was hunting more for the perfect tree with the climber

I have a Kobalt box deep version it fits assault perfectly the extra 3 inches from Alpha is to much. The box and mounting brackets was 320.00 but worth it it's top quality. Bought mine at Lowes for my Dodge Ram 04
The brackets are seperate from the box but not very expensive. I would highly recommend the box has been worth every penny it cost.

Last year was my first truly mobile year and I used my Summit Titan climber most of the time. It's heavy, big, noisy, and will only go up select trees. But it's what I had in a year where we were trying to pay down debt.

I do own a set of Muddy sticks, one LW stick, and some light-ish hang-ons that I may see if I can bundle together for next year. It may not end up being lighter but I need greater flexibility with tree selection, especially since you can't trim limbs on the public land in my area.
