Wow! That’s crazy. Gonna price themselves out of business. I mean obviously there are a lot of stands already at a higher price point, but considering you could’ve purchased this stand for $100+ cheaper a few months ago, just not seeing it. I bought a Helo a few months back for $205 after a 15% discount. No way I pay $340. Can still get a Lone Wolf Alpha 2 on Cabelas for $270.
I will add that Guidefitter still has the old price plus the discount. I just noticed that. So if you’re a member there, better jump on it
My original one has a waist belt. I'm glad its there. Would take less than 5 minutes to add one with 1.5" webbing though and a couple fastex buckles if it didn't. Don't let l
That is true. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying it I guess lol. But the way the stand and pack integrate is too slick.
Leveling has never been a problem,, and neither has the side the buckle was on.
Got one on the way. Looking foward to trying it out.
It was not that long ago that a Alpha was $350. If Mark is making the Windwalker out of old inventory, expect a big price increase when he has to make them at today's metal prices.

Precisely how I imagine using my stand!!! Great minds think alike I guess. Only difference is haven’t tried the one stick thing yet.Was able to get out today and do some tinkering & shooting. Here are some pictures of the set up I’m going to use for next season if anyone is contemplating buying one of these stands.
I’ll be using it as a hybrid set up.
Beast Stick One-Stick
Slanted Scout on the bottom
3 Step ultimaider with the Pack N Play
Saddle (tbd, but likely the CGM Cobra)
Figure 8 to rappel down

Wow I bought my wife one for Christmas that was on sale for $192 on a Cyber Monday sale. I had been looking at the LWCG .5 but could not get past the price. The Helo was much lighter than the stand she was using so it would ease her back a bit. She is Transitioning to a saddle. That is crazy!
Ya the prices have gone up by close to $100 in the last few months. Last fall and early this winter you could get one with promo codes or sales for around that $200 mark. NOT now they are $330 on Novix site currently. Due to price it was gonna be my choice as the functional abilities are mostly the same as the LWCG .5/.75 so for the price it’s worth the savings. Now for $200 more or the price of the entire stand before increase you can get all the functions. Now the .75 is actually almost identical size wise as the .5 is still a tic smaller and might be the choice if minimalist is truly what your looking for. I tried a beast stand and think the potential for it being the choice is there it’s just a bit to much of a footprint for what I’m looking to do. If a smaller version was made I’d have to try not to buy one. Still the LWCG stuff has that ULTRA packable systems which coupled with the functions make it still heads and tails above other stands. I’ve seen .5’s with 4 double steps packed in their integrated system that fits inside medium sized backpacks. Or on a mystery ranch pop up sandwiched in the meat hauler section and you can barely see the stand. This is what truly makes the money spent worth it in my mind. The LWCG, helo and beast stands all hang awesome in trees but the pack abilities of LWCG puts them on top of that pile.
