After i played around with the hand climber and figured out it climbs great with the arms angled up to 50 degrees, I contacted lone wolf about building a new purpose built climber for saddle hunters. I told them about my bolt mod (Adrena mod) and how a bunch of us are climbing limbless trees, 30 feet in 4 minutes and hunting from it once at height. Besides thanking me for the info and creativity, All they said was " were not interested at this time"
As far as a company making a new one, I'm sure it's in the works because if built right it could pull double duty. Just like the old loggy bayou climbing treestand that could be used as a loc on. We shall see.
