Hello

Yes, the lone wolf is worth the money. I have a climber and the hang-on with sticks. I use the climber the most. I had a summit before the lone wolf and it didn't come close. Though I must mention my summit had its cross members of lightweight channel where the newer ones are more triangular tube which has to be better. My summit creaked whenever I shifted weight, I hated it. Being quiet isa most important aspect of a stand, only surpassed by safety.
The lone wolf is super quiet, packs down better, easier to climb with(no straps or stirrups needed for your feet). The lone wolf belt that goes around the tree allows smaller increments of change compared to that of the summits cable, allowing a better fit for any diameter tree within the limits allowed by the stand.
Often people ask on these forums which stand is better Lone Wolf or summit. It seems more people on this forum say summit. But maybe the questions should be, who has owned both the lone wolf and summit tree stands and which do you hunt with now?
