Hey LW stand guys.....

GMMAT · 08-25-2008, 05:07 PM

I saw the straps that came with the stand and knew I wanted something more. Someone suggested the ones Grey Wolf Woolens is selling....and I ordered them.

They came in, today. They are comfy.....easily adjustable....and were easily installed.

Installed in 2 minutes....

Easily adjustable when you pack up.....cinches up, easily for packing in or out.

It's really easy to let one side out loose for ease of getting off your back. I also LOVE that, unlike my summit, I don't have to undo the straps, entirely.....and then have to re-thread them, each time. Thumbs up on this design.

And the padding is great. I can already tell why you guys love packing this better than the summits. How/where it rides on your back is awesome.

These straps aren't a have to have.....but they sure are nice. I don't regret buying them.....and they look like I'll get years of service from them.

Hats off to GWW for providing something like this to us. I have NO TIES to Grey Wolf Woolens......in the least...lol.[8D]

How much does that sit and climb weigh? I just got a Lone Wolf Assault and it only weighs about 9 lbs. I've done some test hiking and the stock straps are fine since it's so light. I will found out for sure this season when I get some longer hikes. That design looks excellent though.

I'm glad you're enjoying your stand..best of luck with it!!

Is the assault a climber?

MO_Bowhnter · 08-25-2008, 05:18 PM

No it's a hang on. I use it as a tool on long walks as a portable stand. Plus I can get up in a lot of trees that I can't with my climber.

Well no offense....but what's the advantage to it being only 9lbs if you can't get up in a tree with it?[8D]

Seriously....not making fun....just asking! How much do your tree steps weigh? Ladder"

I carry 10 tree steps that weigh 5 lbs total in my fanny pack. The weight around my waist doesn't bother me...it's the 25 lbs of climber and stuff I hold in it that makes me sweat. Walking in with this little weight on my back is a breeze, my climbable trees has gone up dramatically and after a little practice it doesn't take me much more time than my climber to get set up.

I can't wait to use it in a "live" hunting situation.

Cool. Whatever works for you. I think this one weighs 19#'s.

Jeff, do you plan on using the built in bow holder? If so, you might want to get one of the rubber grommets. It protects your bow, and keeps things quiet.

GMMAT · 08-25-2008, 06:04 PM

Nope. Won't use it. I'll either use the Primos bow hook or the LW accessory that cinches around the tree. Whichever one I use I'll just store it in the little saddlebag.
