    Lightweight Climbing Sticks Selection Confusion

    Unsure if I need adderal or a few beers for this thread. Keep counting ounces and teaching us physics boys. Those deer won’t know what hit them in November! Go hit the gym and show those ounces who’s boss!

    Best Climbing Sticks?

    Haha we can sit here and compare stand-off distances, weight difference in ounces, and all these other measurements under the sun. I promise you, whether I had Beast, XOP, Hawk, LW or Tethrd sticks the “tactical approach” was no different. I strapped them to my stand or pack and went to walking...

    Best Climbing Sticks?

    I miss the days you either had Lone Wolf, XOP or some home made sticks. Such simpler times. More about tactics than products. My .02 is Beast 20” sticks if you favor tree bite, standoff distance and simplicity. Tether One if you favor ultra-lightweight & packability. Pick one or the other, or...

    Saddle Death… Stay safe out there.

    Strongly agree with everything mentioned here. I’ve preached this since a certain Company began selling faulty products, one which nearly cost me my life in 2019, yet nothing come of it. Unfortunately it took someone losing their life to make folks realize, even saddle hunting is dangerous...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    Not even commercially available yet and we’re seeing bent standoffs on the Skeletor? I’m curious how long that YouTube video posted above will be posted until he’s asked to delete it. It’s more frustrating to me because I’d definitely be interested in trying out the One Stick and other Tethrd...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    I could make a joke about Tethrd’s 1st Gen products and Skeletons, but I’ll behave. Looks cool and priced competitively, should be a good seller for them.

    Novix tree stand!

    Can’t have your cake and eat it too. You’re either going to pay money for higher quality material to reduce weight or have a smaller cast stand. Higher quality materials and cheap don’t go together. Save up for a .5/1.0/Beast/Hush

    Novix tree stand!

    Forgive my oversight. Multitasking sucks. I was referring to the fact that the 8.5# Assaults are still better spec wise than this new Novix stand. BUT the availability and cost of the Novix stand is still a great budget oriented stand for guys starting out or to have a backup stand? I think...

    Novix tree stand!

    OG 8.5# Assault still prevails. The price point is amazing for guys wanting a saddle/stand setup or people just starting out. I believe they’ll do very well in the mobile hang on niche.

    OOAL Hush Stand- first impressions

    Heck yeah love it. I’m thankful we have options to choose from now compared to years past. I’m glad you like it

    Beast stand - part2

    I wouldn’t hold my breath too much on companies like Novix. The gear you’d get from LWCG, Beast, OOAL, etc.. will be designed by hunters for hunters. Not an engineer in a lab for hunters. How many new products did Lone Wolf Treestands innovate and release after Andrae sold the company? Novix...

    Trying to cam lock and step on/off the OG Assaults was a nightmare

    LWCG .5

    I heavily debated between a .5/1.0 and Beast stand. Ultimately the dimensions of the Beast stand and the finish is what pushed me towards buying the Beast stand. Like I said I’m glad they worked out the kinks, LWCG definitely fit a niche within the treestand community and are phenomenal...

    LWCG .5

    I’m sorry but for a high end treestand breaking the $400+ price point, this should’ve been ironed out before releasing. I’m not sanding a $500 treestand so my shirts & straps don’t fray... I’m glad to hear they’re listening and adjusting their manufacturing process. Their stands cater to the...

    Beast stand - part2

    10-4 I remember Dan saying in interviews it passed 300# tests but he didn’t feel comfortable going to 300# because the platform would be too small for bigger guys?? Believe that was his reasoning, I could be wrong. We’ll see how the stand holds up over time. I’m hoping this stand is like the...

    Beast stand - part2

    The stand is what a 250# weight rating? So being towards that end I could definitely see the flex getting more noticeable. I trust T6 over Cast platforms, so it wouldn’t concern me too much. This is a new to market product though so anything’s possible.

    Beast stand - part2

    Beast stand width and seat height were perfect for me, I’m 6’0 185# for reference. Only noticed flexing of the stand if I jumped or bounced on the edge of the stand. Flex wasn’t very noticeable to me when I was just moving around normally. Camming on trees felt similar to my OG Assault. Hoping...

    Beast Stand

    I tried saddle hunting with my SitDrag using 1 screw in peg and my top stick.. I’ve never been so glad a hunt ended. Even got busted by a group of 4 does on the last day of deer season years back, probably 2016?? Personally I’d rather carry in more weight so I can be comfortable during my...

    Beast Stand

    Sold my OG Assault because cam-locking that stand was a joke. Trees larger than a basketball in diameter it wouldn’t be stable unless you cam-locked, then after cam-locking, added a second strap on the bottom. Even then, stand had play.... My Alpha did great, just got old hauling a 14# stand...
