Looking for a used or new Loc On WindWalker model deer stand to buy.
Thanks Joey
Thanks Joey
Yup, and he only got it because I had 2 Good luck, and be willing to spend a bit...Heads up, it is TOUGH to get folks to part with them. I spent 4 years looking for mine!
Gotcha! the Windwalker beats the ghost for packability..and weight actually..my original "ultralite" windwalker is right around 5.75lbs, with the tree strap... BUT chippewa stands are killer and still made--and probably more comfortable and the hanging system is sweet.Indeed! I am looking for friend ....but IMO and experience.. Chippewa Ghost is head over heels a much better choice for what he wants ( weight and size) but I can't convince him.
View attachment 5135 Yeah, they updated the construction at one point and they went to 7.75. People also often refer to this version as the "**** Idol" windwalker. Here's a pic for people to drool over
and I'l stop now...not trying to hijack the thread...carry on!
Yes, as long as you can keep your feet on the platform I've been huntign with a WW and RC harness for a while now...leaning some, sitting some...standing some...kinda a hybrid saddle setup almost...That is awesome! Is it fairly stable in the tree?
Cool, didn't know about these guys. Looks like the lil ambush could fit the niche with a seat mod to match that of a loc-on. Other only comparable option is the Chippewa Ghost.This is another good option for you ultralight treestand types.

Be careful with those camo straps on the LocOns.....there was a recall on them because after awhile the buckle would not bite the strap.
Back in the day they replaced them with a black strap, but nowadays you might have to get creative.
Thats a great Idea. I've used the "chinese finger trap" or "Whoopie sling" style rope from a strap on cranford step as well that works great.I replaced the strap on my original **** Idol Lock-On Limit with a Ameristep strap. Works better than the original strap.
