RE: Help with attaching my Lone Wolf Alpha Hang on stand
I always use the hook,even with the offset bracket attached.You just have to lean the stand up and slide it into the hanger and the stand is held in place while you cinch it to the tree.
Of course,you can't use the hanger when setting the stand up at an offset angle but when hung on a straight tree,I always use it.
I use a trebble hook rope,(not sure what the proper name is) and put my Lone wolf sticks on the tree and climb while secured like Greg mentioned with my safety harness and I can get my stand and accesories from the ground without climbing down to hook them up.
