Each stick is a 32” single-tube design, with a 15” distance between steps. These climbing sticks are rated to carry up to 350 pounds, which should accommodate most hunters. Lone Wolf offers several strap extensions and replacements that you can order to suit your style.

You can throw them in a quiver or hang them on a carrying strap while you climb, then pull them out when it’s time to install the next step. The Lone Wolf climbing stick for tree stands comes in packs of either 3 or 4. Next, I’ll go into some of the specs that make these climbing sticks stand out as a substantial investment to go with your favorite treestand: Materials & Sturdiness You can mount them directly onto Lone Wolf’s Assault or Alpha Hang-On treestands using specially made connection points.Īdditionally, the nesting feature makes them very convenient for moving over long distances or switching treestands throughout the day. They easily attach to tree trunks and the stands they’re designed to lock into. The simple design is a huge selling point for the Lone Wolf climbing stick. Many reviews note the simplicity of attaching these sticks. Using all four sticks together could get you up to a tall treestand, or you could buy an additional pack if you’d like to go even higher. The adjustable straps can size up and down to fit trees of various sizes. Once you pull them apart, the sticks are quite long, with steps that flip around and brackets to attach to tree trunks. Right away, you’ll feel like you can throw them over your shoulder and take a long walk. Wandering Arrows has a bunch of LW setups and can go into a lot more detail about hanging everything in one shot.These climbing sticks arrived nested in a super-compact bundle that was surprisingly lightweight. I know it’s a hefty chunk of change but I don’t think you’ll regret buying a LW setup. A lot different than the other (low budget) sticks I own. When taking them down, you loosen the straps and the stick stays right there attached to the tree without a strap. One of my favorite part of the LW sticks is how well they bite into the tree. The stand and 4 sticks weigh around 21lbs I believe, my millennium m50 weighed around 18-20 before any sticks. I usually set 2 sticks at a time then head back down the tree for the other two and also put the stand on my back.
#Lone wolf hang on how to#
There are lots of videos on how to hang everything in one shot up the tree but I haven’t tried that yet. I’m still working on my system, but I could be in the tree in less than 10 minutes with stand, 4 sticks, lifeline, and bow rope. I set that stand 6 times in 7 days this year and it was a breeze.
But this year OGB sold me a used LW Assault with LW sticks, and I will never use anything else while hunting out west. In previous years I’ve used millennium stands and rivers edge sticks. But when I go out west, I use a stand and sticks.
It’s nice when you have your choice of straight limbless trees. I have used a climber hunting in the big woods out east a few times. I've been there and done that and found a system that works for me. Not to mention there are many other benefits to a saddle over a tree stand anyways. My brother tried my set up after carrying his millennium and hawk heliums and he said it felt like he was wearing a school backpack and he was walking to class. My wild edge steps go in my backpack and I wear my saddle. It's hard to imagine a lighter weigh climbing method but I'm sure someone will think of a way. With a 5 step aider I can climb 6.5 ft per wild edge step and each step weighs 1 lb. My current set up weighs about 9-10 lbs for everything! Saddle (16 ounces) 3 wild edge steps with a 5-step aider (4 lbs) platform (3lbs) gets me to 22 ft and I got rid of all bulk from a stand and sticks. I also bought the Tethrd mantis to cut down on weight even more. After watching a few YouTube videos on various aider systems used with the wild edge steps my set up was perfect. They got rid of more bulk but were time consuming to set up. I still didn't care for the bulk of the climbing sticks so I tried wild edge steps. The bulk was gone! Ditching a tree stand and climber for a saddle was the ticket. Two years ago I bought an aero hunter kestral tree saddle and kept using the lone wolf sticks. This set up was much better for tree selection and was lighter but I still couldn't get rid of the unwanted bulk. Then I experimented with a trophy line tree saddle and lone wolf sticks but ended up ditching the trophy line saddle for a lone wolf alpha tree stand. Started over 20 years with an old API climber, then upgraded to a summit viper climber and killed deer out of both. I've been searching for years for the best mobile set up and I think I've finally got it dialed in.
