    Lone wolf handclimber/ Saddle combo Part 3

    Did the mod tonight. Can't wait to try it. I use shoulder staps on the seat climber and strap my treesuit to the stand. It lays totally flat against my back; don't notice the weight. The stitched on bicycle inner tube for the foot strap sewn on with speedy sticher. I am rock'n now,

    Lone wolf handclimber/ Saddle combo Part 3

    Hey Mr. Arena; Great video and discussion of this LW belt issue. I have been using an old lone wolf V-bar seat for years as my platform. I had tried the newer seat with the belt and found it inferior to the v-bar. It appears that you have thought this through. I plan on trying your...

    "What would you change....? " I like the built one in this thread better than all of the straps on the original. The best method of climbing the tree is still what I spend thinking about the most. The lonewolf seat does limit the trees one can climb. I have ordered the Wild Edge steps...

    The commercial tree suit had the user wrap the 12' or so of webbing around the waist of the wearer with the seat tucked underneath the wrap to hold the seat against the small of the back. I've always used a climber with pack straps so I just bungied the treesuit to that. I am currently...

    It was a quick break (about 3 seconds -- bend...Bend...BEND...break). HDPE melts at a fairly low temperature. I always wondered if my body heat softened the HDPE after 15 minutes or so.

    Dang Sheldon, that looks great. As far as the original seat. it appears to be 1/2" thick. I would have to cut stitching to see what it is made of and I cannot bring myself to do it. I did try 1/2" HDPE as a seat. It seemed like it was going to work. It ended up breaking on me (I weigh...

    That Ultra-Lite Cadillac foot piece does look like it would work! Don't see Ultra-Lite Cadillac parts listed for sell yet.

    Thanks for the ideas, deerdhunter. Find an old Baker stand!?!? really?!? If I can't find and old lone wolf v-bar out there. what are the odds of finding a baker? Option 3 sounds like a good idea.

    My current v-bar seat is showing some wear. I can't find any replacements out there. my belt-driven seat I have thought of converting back to the v-bar design. The aluminum stand itself has the same edge catches that the v-bar has. So I would just have to find aluminum arms, which should be...

    The video that started this showed me climbing with an old lone-wolf v-bar seat. That v-bar seat really cannot be found anymore. I did have a modern lone wolf climbing seat. I decided to give that a try again. I video taped it. It also shows the setup for the built treesuit.

    I remember it being around 400 lbs. I think the rating is different than say breaking strength of climbing rope ( I sure hope so). It does not look like strapworks.com gives it a rating. I have seen these buckles used. Matter of fact, the origianal commercial treesuit had similar plastic...
