Over the years I've done everything you described and still have some loc ons in place that get hunted some..now days it's just me a bow or rifle and whatever fits in my pocket usually just a knife n flashlight it's a bit tougher seeing as well and setting up on right spot but I enjoy it

Lock ones can be great if you have a property that you can leave them on. Mobility and public hunting is gaining popularity due to a lot of hunting youtubers. It seems like everyone is searching for the lightest gear. Ground hunting with nothing but your weapon should never be overlooked as i do believe it’s lightest and most minimalistic you can get.

What hunting platform did you come from and go to? Went from a summit climber to a saddle with wild edge steps & knaider/swaider climbing method.
How did your changes affect your mobility? MUCH more mobile. Can get into 10x more trees that I could with my climber and I have found myself way more willing to walk farther into secluded spots.
Are you satisfied with your changes? Absolutely, don't see myself ever turning back.
Are you planning to go further with this next year or did you find the perfect set up for you? I may try single stick and even some DRT/SRT climbing next season.
Nice, heard mixed reviews on the steps. Seems people either love them or hate them, no in between. I too want to try my hand at rope climbing. At the very least I plan to add rappelling to my arsenal. It won’t save weight but it sure is fun. I haven’t bought into the 1 sticking yet. I think I’ll need some more practice.

Went from a lone wolf hang on to a saddle. I use my LW sticks to climb and used a WE perch as a platform. I’m satisfied with everything except the perch, I’m switching to predator for the upcoming season.

A pad or foldingchair to sit on, para cord, burlap, and clothes pins for ground hunting. I dig a “Hazmoralized” Summit Viper for climbing, no foot rest nor gunrail Just like the on in this video https://hazmore.net/pages/silent-pocket-tree-stand-accessory-pocketOut here in Texas I often climb a live oak or cedar that God made just for me and I lay a piece of memory foam on the limb, cover it with a towel, then bungee cord it. I sit on it for many hours. I only use a mountaineers climbing harness, my rope with a prusik with a belay rigged below it

I just bought the lone wolf sticks and have been looking at the millennium m100u. Has anyone used this stand as a hang and hunt. I dont think i could sit all day in a lone wolf lock on. The LW hang on is more comfortable than you would think. I’m 6ft 240+ and I never had any issues.

What saddle did you end up with? I’m gonna order one here pretty soon , gonna use strap on steps on WMA and bolts on private. My old Windwalker locon is so light, no comfy but easy and light I have a Tethrd mantis and I’ve tried the Tethrd phantom as well. I’ve never had any problems with my mantis but I will by the phantom next. The phantom has a few upgrades that I like over the mantis. If you’re new to saddle hunting you honestly can’t go wrong with either.
