Every stand I own is made by LW. I bought all of them on my own. I have 5 hang ons and one climber. Would not trade them for anything. These stands were engineered by a hunter or someone that had some insight to what we want.. I love everything but the old sit and climb seat which itlooks like they upgraded. Love the climbing sticks as well. They are lite quick and quiet, and sturdy as anything i've ever tried. Lone Wolf gets my vote.
