Using the LW Handclimber with my JX 3 allows me to ditch the lineman’s belt for just the Tether, so I am probably around 14 lbs as well. The JX 3 allowed me to ditch my 7lb Horn Hunter Pack so when the math is all done I have only added 7- 8 lbs to what I carried the past few years as a ground hunter up in the mountains and I am back in a tree again.
