Questions about LWCG minis

I did have a, "Why didn't I think of that?" moment when I tied the buckleless strap for the first time. You're looking at the first time I'd ever tied it in the vid. I'm assuming it could be done the same way on any other stick too?

@Vtbow, waiting for our post office to open. I'll let yall know in a few.

Me too....lol

I took the strap off and tied it the first time. I have been using the straps for decades. Why have I never thought taking the damn buckle off????

Yup. I have some 3/4" dyneema daisychain coming to me to try out, but the buckleless strap has set the bar pretty high, and it's cheap!

I think the buckle less straps is the cats meow.

To much fiddle factor straightening out the bark biters and steps every time you set up and tear down. They also did not stack together as good as I hoped.

Maybe I am just use to my beast sticks.

No, I agree with the fiddling around part. I originally had my DIY sticks setup to pivot, for stacking. They worked great (wingnuts). But I don't want to fart around at the bottom of the tree before slipping out. More involved than the LW for sure. Just not worth it to me
 
Great video brother. I like the honesty. I never planned on buying these but based on your video if I did, I would probably switch out that cam buckle strap for an amsteel daisy chain and use a top mount CAYG aider to make moving it up easy. The weight on these tiny things really surprised me but it didn't surprise me that they lied about it. They all do. Lol. Seems like a great set of sticks but overpriced like you said.
 
Sounds like their advertising of 1.5 is bare stick and pretty accurate. And you need a new scale :)
 
I liked the video it covered a lot more than most unboxing videos do. I think first impressions are very important and you basically nailed it in terms of "price per punch" Are they $300 sticks??? Probably not, are they $200? I'm thinking yes. They do blend right into the tree you set it up on. They do sound "quieter" thank normal aluminum tubes. I agree the exposed threads on the "versa button" bolts may tend to wear away at the attachment strap over loop(s) over time. Still interested in seeing your "pack- in" to hunting location set up (how you'll rig them up to carry them in) and then your "tree-up" strategy once at your spot and ready to head up the tree.

I'm puzzling over that right now. Inhave a few ideas, and think that I might enjoy climbing with them. I'll be kneecapped when it comes to climbing height though in comparision to my bolt system. But it should be quick and easy.
 
The compact sticks are 1lb 12oz bare. 2lbs 2oz with buckle strap.

Way over advertised.

The sticks should be advertised ready to hunt with the strap they come with.

The stand was about 10.5lbs with strap seat and backpack straps if I remember correctly.

The compact sticks were advertised as 1.5lbs, full stick 2lbs and stand 7.5lbs hunt weight. They didn’t hit any of those weights. The full length sticks are even heavier than the original.

So you got the same weight as I did on your scale? Interesting. Maybe we need a new one at work.
