Cool set up. Got that pack last year and have really enjoyed it so far. For the gear I carry and the way I hunt, I have yet to come up with anything I would want different in a pack.
I love it. Been having it for a few years now. Packs a deboned doe well also. I never had a tenzing or badlands pack last this long. It's tough and carries a load well without a lot of BS added to it.
I've been toying with the idea of a scout for those sits 4 hours or less. I like having your climbing method also be your platform. Are you able to get off a weak side shot?Kuiu Venture 1800, modified lonewolf sticks, and a scout on a stick. Very happy with its packability.
I haven’t hunted with it yet. Our season opens this weekend. But practicing in the yard, any tree basketball size are smaller, I was able to take most shots without the aid of any squirrel steps on the side. It’s because the scout on a stick stands off the tree more than a ring of steps or wild edge stepp. If you are really confident in your ninja saddle moves, there is a lot you can do with a scout.
Scout mounting is straight forward. Just bolts to the top of your stick.
My stick mods are that I made the stand offs be able to fully spend so they can side stack, I also cut the sticks down to a 2 step size, then I added a cable aider. There are a few post on here for those mods.
I don’t know. I don’t care about ounces more than bulk and ease of set up. I’m sure you can look up the scout and find it’s weight.
Yeah i dont either i just one stick and it looks nice to put at the top of my one stick.
No, I haven’t noticed any movement yet with an Amsteel rope mod to my sticks. But I still haven’t hunted yet. I’ve been using lone wolf sticks for a long long time and they get pretty tight. Still stick to the tree when I undo the rope.
An epoxy putty (like JB weld) around the bolt on the inside of the tubing. Acts like a solid piece of tubing around the bolt.

Im doing the same thing but with a Predator Platform and a Mystery Ranch Esee 32. Looks very nimble.
I'm back and forth between the straight and angled scout.Kuiu Venture 1800, modified lonewolf sticks, and a scout on a stick. Very happy with its packability.
Does the scout ride well facing your back side? Like it doesnt stick in your back neck?
Also is that 1/4" amsteel your using for attaching your sticks with stock LW versa?
