Any word on the lightweight climbers or climber platform type deals I saw pics/videos of earlier this year? I’m a bit out of the loop on new gear
Come on, man! You've got 82 pages of reading to do, stay on top of it! LOL. No, there really hasn't been any significant updates on climbing devices/platforms.

I actually hit 62-82 today lol. Was looking for anyone talking about the lwcg or xop climber and came up empty handed
XOP told Mr June for the climbing saddle platform. Waiting on the shipment.
At the 1:50 mark: “Look, these climbing sticks are not going to make you a better hunter.”
While that may certainly be a true statement - - - - ummm, that is not the best marketing strategy. People are easily fooled. Tell them: these sticks will make you a better hunter because x, y, z.....set the trap, catch the fools.....
Last I heard was the XOP climber wouldn’t be out until sometime early next year. Needs more refinement and testing this season. LWCG is still supposed to be out sometime this year as far as I know. Haven’t heard anything else about a saddle climbing platform.
Dude, I got on Rokslide a few weeks ago and almost immediately started noticing a TOTALY different vibe on that page. Kinda weird. But these grown ass men getting into **** measuring contests over silly stuff. Everyone thinks he’s a pro. Bashing eachother, getting offended, and just acting like babies. Really made me appreciate the group we have here.
Not weird at all. Your observations are correct. There are some very professional big deer assassins on this forum. Individuals with YouTube pages and sponsorships. Podcasts and saddle hunting businesses. Professional gear testers (packs, bows, whatever). But rarely will you see anyone here act immature or make posts like you see on FB or Rokslide.
See post 1504.

Idk if they are new but I just got some Maven B5 in 12x56 for work and glassing for blacktail. I must say im impressed at the image brightness and edge to edge clarity on them. They really proved their worth when I spotted poachers after hunting hours and we were able to get them. My coworkers binos couldn't pick em up but mine did clear and I was able to get video and photo evidence of them in action which held up spectacularly in court!
That’s slick! But more than I expected
Shipping calculated at checkout lol. They should hand deliver it with a hot medium rare 16oz ribeye, baked potato and big glass of tea at that price.

I’d be really interested in hearing how the seat works or what the seat is supposed to be. Can’t find any pictures or videos of it or any pictures or videos of anyone actually sitting in it so I’m curious what the deal is with that cause there is more to it than what is shown otherwise it’d just be a standing platform.
Yup. I am totally gambling that the seat will be good. Might suck, we'll see eventually.
My concern is that the expected delivery date is in September. Pretty close to some people’s openers. That being said, I’m not dropping $1K on a stand.
