I just wanna say that I have hunt out of about every stand summit, X stands, millenium, API's etc. YOU cannot not beat a Summit for comfort, but portability can it be beat. I say yes. I received my Lone Wolf Hand Climber II The other day just in time for an evening hunt. ALSO purchased the foot rest and a small thick foam seat due to hearing complaints about the small hard seat. IT was the fastest, quietest, most portable stand I have ever hauled into the woods and I wall way in there. The setup up took me less than 30 sec to have on tree and was very easy to climb with and the cast base bites the tree like no other I've had. I'M not affiliated with Lone Wolf at all but just want to say if you guys are looking for a quality stand that is just flat out portable light and quiet check them out. They are a bit pricey but we'll worth it. Pacing together is super easy also. Sorry for the rant but man what a stand. 6 hour sit no problem.

Lone Wolf's have been my main climber for 10 years now. I've got the hand climber top for one of my stands, but since my back surgery, I can't sit in it very long. So I went back to the sit & climb top with a net seat. I've pulled numerous all day sits in it with no problems.

They pack flat. But I strap my back pack to the stand so there really is no advantage for me as far the stand packing flat. It is however the quietest and easiest to set up that I have ever used. For me my LW sit and climb was not as easy to climb as other stands. Because the belts aren't very stiff they are easily hung up on small branches. Having said that I very well may go back to LW for next season.

They fold down flat and aren't as awkward on your back.

Like I said. I'm not affiliated with Lone wolf or any outdoor sales. Just don't have a lot of time to hunt so I want every hunt to be efficient and enjoyable. Most of my stands are sticks and hang ons anyways but like to have climber for the what ifs and have nots. I'm always looking for the best and most efficient way to get in quiet and get up quiet and like shaw said it packs flat and the cams that clamp the belt are just stinkin great. A lil bit of tree prep before season cutting limbs and this would be all you need.

Yes, we have moved our production over seas. Our cast platform patent expired in July which now will allow our competition to produce a cast stand. If we would have stayed in the USA we would have incurred higher pricing for 2010. We are maintaining the quality and have no plans on changing the stands in the future, thank you.
Sales (309) 691-9653 (309) 693-9410 FAX NO.
It is settled. They sold out and the prices are not dropping even with that cheap overseas labor.

Don't believe the nay sayers. Lone wolf Made and assembled in USA 100% This is correct. Or at least that is my understanding. 2010 was the only year LW was made overseas. The product did not meet thier standards so they moved all production back to the USA. I believe that one of the original designers of the LW stands is now the owner of XOP. And they are made over seas. But from what I have read the XOP stands are now very good quality.
