I was at Bass Pro today looking at the LW sit and climb. I have been wanting a new climber but think I will wait and see how it goes with jeff. It doesn't sound like he is thrilled with it from his initial post to me. Let me know how it goes tomorrow if you would jeff. Chris

Thats what i was thinking too....i looked and laughed at their hang on today, 180 bucks and absolute junk quality....the employees must have ZERO pride in their work or it isn't made in the USA which i didnt look to see.....
while the Lone Wolf suffered in the seating area for years in comparison(don't know about the new seat). Personally I want more than a comfy seat. I prefer a safe design along with quiet and packability. I also much prefer the traction belts with the locking cams over knobs on a cable. The cable designs used on most modern stands are stiff........thats another reason I love the flexible traction belts........less chance for slipping down a tree. Though its not recommended by any tree stand manufacturer to climb wet trees, its readily apparent the design and quality of those belts/cam design should make it much safer to do so if the user is so inclined.
My 2 cents.

You bet. I promise I'll give you an honest assessment. You know me....lol. The fact that I spent a lot of money on it won't stop me from admittingI made a mistake(if, indeed, I did).
Right now.....honestly....I think its gonna be fine. (that's likely an understatement)
Is it the "holy grail" of treestands? Nah.
I'm thinking of little things to make it "better"....and I'm having good luck. I can't express how helpful I think that saddlebag is gonna be. It was worth $15 extra bucks.

Think about everything everyone (who has spent the big money) says about this stand.
EI....that's part of the problem, most times. The guy who spent a lot of money is sometimes () needing to justify his expenditure. Not too many guys out there who saved up for years to buy a BMW that are gonna tell you they screwed up with their purchase.
I'll give this thing a fair assessment.....but the holy grail.....it is not.
