They are an excellent stick. The standoffs are awesome. And best of all they are available today.

I don't know that it matters, but the one I see mentioned most often is the Harken 150, they have several models (standard and micro), get the one that is sized for your weight and line. Also see the ronstan mentioned a good bit.
On the low end, I've seen people recommend the Nautos Cleat on ebay, $10-$15. Just get the one rated for your weight and line. And any marine grade cam cleat is most likely fine, if you're not sure type the name or model number into the saddlehunter search bar and see if there are any results.

I was thing about buying them. Wish they were a touch lighter but they are still the lightest on the market. They have polymer steps. They tested them to like 600lbs. The step twisted to hell but returned to shape which was pretty interesting.
I almost ordered them but my hang up with them is the short standoff and not much room between step and tree. If I can’t get the ball of my foot on the step comfortably I won’t buy them. I have learned my lesson over the years.

The cam cleat I’m seeing is the harken 150 with a working load of 300lbs. That makes me uncomfortable...even though I’m 190 I just feel uncomfortable with being so close to that load. I just got the EWO stick that I’d like to have the clam cleat on but I’m not so sure.

EWO Ultralight Stick with Scout Platform and sewn in aider. BEST stick period for one-sticking.

Lots of cam cleats on the market and discussed on the forums, I would bet there are some that are better than that. Just do some searching and research. I think some of the guys specifically talked about weight and their concerns. Lots of good topics on the matter. One of the guys was 250 and mentioned using a Ronstan large just to be on the safe side.
Here are a few threads:
Everything cam cleats
Well @BassBoysLLP asked for it, so here it is. The everything cam cleats thread. I'm really digging them too and I'll take a small weight hit for their ease of use, plus you can use some really small diameter ropes with them. My big question is what hardware is everyone attaching them to...

Need to buy cam cleats...where is the one's muddy uses...or similar
I sold a set of 4 leverage sticks to a buddy that no longer hunts. I had converted them to the lone wolf button, but now he is selling them back to me. I wanted to convert the lone wolf button to a cam cleat. I've looked but all I see is ones with 300lb or less rating. I don't want to be up...

Adding cam cleats to Sticks
I want to try adding a cam cleat to one of my Hawk sticks. Directions to an earlier post or suggestions on doing this are welcome. Looking for some direction, ie type of rope, the cam that will fit the Hawk sticks etc.
saddlehunter.com
The way the load is distributed throughout different components (rope touching tree, standoffs, steps, cleat) ...i think 300 is fine. if you're climbing safely with minimal slack in your tether at all times and a LB, i dont see this being a concern for me. I just had a kick out last wednesday and it was no big deal.

Do you know the distance on the stand-off? How much toe space off tree?

Beast Sticks all the way. I have/had both. I love Eastern Outdoors stuff but their sticks are not as good as the beast sticks. Noise, packability and stability in the tree are all the reasons why I switched and bought beast sticks.

Is it possible to build a diy ewo stick that stacks inline? If it can be done I think they would be perfect. For guys that use multiple sticks, beast sticks are hard to beat because of the inline stacking.
Was that just the light weight tubing ? If it was the complete stick your nuts.Speaking of high end sticks. I am pretty sure what I am about to do is illegal in all fifty states and most Canadian provinces.

I could not figure out a way to make the EWO sticks to stack inline. That’s why I bought the beast sticks and you wouldn’t think something that simple would make a big difference but believe me it does.
