i have used lonewolf stands for a least 8 to 10 years and you cant be them. the way i use the hang on is to drill holes up the tree so i can just in sert bolts when i want to go up the tree.then wants im donei just take them out when i leave.make sure you use a heavy grade bolt so they wont bend. that way you mite be able to slow people from stealing your hang on!!!!!! also just buy one set of bolts and use them for as many set ups as you wont!!
