LWCG stand setups

Bowtie747 said:
So I’ll admit I still have gear urges outside of my .5. Which is currently the only platform I own. I’d really like to have a platform of somekind

So in my head I started building this Ground hunting, scouting, platform setup. Using a pack or Fanny. Having a 2lb ultralight chair with me, sticks, and a platform. So for not much weight I can literally do it all if needed.

Then I started really thinking about it and just adding the chair to my current setup covers it all. Saves me a ton of money. I might still do a setup like that for the fun side of it but a .5 really covers so much it’s hard not just to use it.

I'm gonna do the same thing with the Turkey pacseat and my .5 and 4 latitude carbon ss sticks. The pacseat as a frame pack for deer pack out and ground hunting also use a rock climing harness with a 8.5 tether and prusic.
This year since I just had surgery I'm gonna use my pacseat only don't know if I can shoot my long bow at 8 weeks yet. If not it will be my pacseat with my10mm hand gun.

Just when you think youve seen everything, a $500 frame zip tied to a $600 hang on turns up the heat.

lol. You ain’t kidding Teufel! The shame of it is, I could have made better use of the frame but it’s 22” and wouldn’t fit me appropriately, if I were to correctly pair it with a typical pack setup. However, I had it, and instead of selling it for a loss and having to look into purchasing a whole separate suspension system, figured I’d cut my losses and make it work with the stand and as you would expect, it’s a champ.

As long as you’re happy. That’s all that matters.

I think the real kicker is that it’s a $500 frame and a $600 stand (and look, I have a 1.0 and a crossover so I def ain’t the one to do the high horsing), but the fact that it’s being held together by $1.35 in zip ties is truly what genetically ties it to the scrap 2x4s and cut in half 50 gallon drum paw paw nailed in a tree in 1987.

The zip ties are remembering where we came from.

100%. Probably one of the truest statements I’ve come across in a minute!

Shoot! 2x4's aren't 2x4's anymore.
If you want to take a trip down memory lane.. Sheffield WMA in Georgia still has some of those cut out 50 gallon drums hanging.
 
Find it interesting that since Levi Morgan dropped his Trophyline sponsorship he uses a LWCG ambush. For whatever that info is worth to people

Kifaru Nuplex straps on these stands with the BWMG install kit is where it’s at for comfort!

The gear that sponsored / paid “hunter influencers” use is meaningless to me. Shill input is worthless.

The gear and equipment used by members of this forum - and their real world, unbiased opinions - receive significantly more consideration.

YMMV.

I believe Levi states in the video he is not sponsored by any of the companies he’s using.

What are yall doing about the straps clanging off the stand? It’s near impossible to keep them from hitting some when taking the stand on/off and setting it up? Are yall taping around buckles?

Stealth strips makes a buckle silencer. That or slayer tape, yak grips work too

Silence the buckles. Bicycle inner tubes, stealth strips, sewn can koozies, vet wrap are popular approaches.

I have stealth strip on my cam buckle but it also doesn’t touch my stand until I’m hanging it. The cam buckle strap lives in a pocket on my pack until I’m ready to climb. Then it goes into my pants pocket until I’m at height. LWCG .5 comes off my hip (I hang it on my saddle to climb) and cam buckle strap comes out of my pocket. Then hang it that way
 
You are the 1% who doesn’t know who he is. Thats great for you. To everyone else, finding out when someone like Levi who lives this life for an career and is widely considered one of the best uses a product that they have no financial obligation to pimp could be interesting information. When every platform is available to him he chose the ambush. If you don’t care that’s fine, but then don’t bother engaging.

I do not know who he is or care what he uses. Cute story, though.
