Crenshaw,
I'd be really curious to know what broke on your stand. I designed many of the products for Lone Wolf when Andrae owned the company, and I can tell you they test FAR above any other stand on the market. I think the Assault tests to nearly 1,600 pounds before anything breaks. The castings are so strong that you will litterally rip the bolt through the aluminum tube before the casting will break.
What broke? What did you do to break it? I've never heard of that happening before.
I won't use any other stand at this point. They are still the best - and yes, and now pretty pricy! Glad I got all mine years ago!

I'm all for expensive tree stands
My old carcass then has less youngins it has to beat, hauling a climbing tree stand through the woods. And it sure breaks my heart hauling that long ago, paid off, tree stand.
Do we have $500 ????? $500......

The best way to solve that problem is what most people won't do. Boycot them. No product is worth getting ripped off for. How can they justify $400. for a climbing stand. Quit buying and watch the price drop.

But for safety reasons, don't they have to include an expensive parachute with every tree stand, er, an expensive safety harness.
Although I'm expecting some parachute requirement in the future.
