Im looking to get a budget setup for mobile hunting. Im looking for a cheap hang on and a cheap set of sticks. If you have any recommendations please leave them.

From a ground blind?Cheapest mobile hunting is ground hunting. Very overlooked way of killing deer
Ok thx i thought about it but by hang on im referring to a hang on stand.If you're actually looking into a 'hang on' saddle the cheapest route is a sitDrag ( @DanO sells them https://doublesteps.com/product/sitdrag/ ), that you can DIY with a friction hitch and some rope around 8 - 11mm for a tether and linesman and your good to go. I'd suggest using a Rock climbing harness as a back up, though I quit using mine for comfort reasons (NOT recommended).
Ok thx!!If you're wanting to stick with an actual stand I'd recommend a climber. if you're dead set on a hang on I'd recommend any hang on that utilizes a hanging bracket. Makes it a lot easier to hang.
No ground blind needed. Just patience and to be still at the right time.From a ground blind?

I'm not sure a saddle-hunting site it the ideal place to get input on this, unless you're fishing for a deal on a used stand.Ok thx i thought about it but by hang on im referring to a hang on stand.
Ok thxThe LW Assault may be at top of scale but not cheap, should be able to find an API Alumn. bout $60, they are very good at about 8-10 pounds.

There is an API Alumn on fb market place $50 and another Field Stream looks good $50.Can you provide a link to an 8-10 lb lockon stand that costs $60?
Maybe you meant 18-20 lbs?

A bunch of the older api models are really light!I didn't even know API made an aluminum stand close to that weight.
All of the ones I see online are in the 18-21 lb range.
Do you have a link to the specs or actual name of this stand online? (nothing comes up in search for "API Alumn"
