Lone Wolf Custom Gear Crossover Climber Review - You Need This

[@dougprice7912]

The best instructional video to date for this stand. Good job!

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Thank you! I tried to step up my content and make it in depth but not to boring. Haha

@@rogueoutdoorshtkstw I'm gonna try the aftermarket footrests. Placed an order today.

Good video, Pro's - light weight, very stable stand, good cam system, small package, Con's - very high price, not much of a seat pad (uncomfortable), the teeth on the stand can be considered illegal in some states (damage to trees public land) FYI - I am a life long user of Lone Wolf I still have there original, bought more of their stands throughout the years. The crossover looks to be a great stand if you can justify the price.

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Great summary!

[@MisfitD5]

I’m convinced

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Glad the video could help

[@johnbowhunter7676]

For that price they should have incorporated a backpack for some storage. Nice review!👍

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Yeah the LWCG pack would be sweet if they had it come with it. However i actually like the Sitka fanatic pack more. So I’m sure i would have payed more if there was a pack included and still had to buy the Sitka. Lol

Have you ever tried a summit open shot I’ve been using 1 for probably 15ys it’s a great stand but what appeals to me is the sit and climb bar and the weight on this stand but what worries me is the comfort nobody wants to pay 1000$ a stand that’s to uncomfortable and never gets used lol

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Yeah my buddy actually got a summit open shot a few years back and I have used it quite a bit to test against this one. The LWCG packs on your back way better and is easier to climb with. However, it is not as comfortable as the summit. But for me, I’m not normally going to be out in a tree stand for more than three hours and the.LWCG IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.

Can sit bar be adjusted to be in front of you ?

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

You can take it off, have it behind you, in front and below you. It’s pretty adjustable

A lot of us hard working 9 to 5 blue collar workers cannot afford this price tag

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

I by no means make a lot of money and had to save for a year to be able to get this. I felt at the time and after having it can say if you use a climber a lot the lone wolf is very worth the money. It’s so easy to pack and the teeth are amazing. There is literally nothing like it on the market that I know of. It is definitely expensive and an investment however.

[@6767mac]

How does it compare to the Ambush ?

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Totally different league to be totally honest. The Ambush will work just fine for you, however the LWCG is way more efficient and fun in my opinion.

[@outdoorman808]

Is the cam reversed on the top portion?

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Yes makes for ease of operation

[@MHobbs06]

Looks nice except for the seat. Seems like an afterthought. I have an OG sit and climb with a Hazmore seat. Maybe that was what they were trying to replicate with the webbing. Too much 💰 for me but I’m glad some life is is coming back into the climber market. I believe saddle hunting wouldn’t be as popular as it is if more lightweight climber options were available. Most KZbinrs I watch climb climber friendly trees anyway. No one wants to have to navigate branches. So that negates that argument against climbers. I also have never liked dealing with sticks. The Crossover is probably lighter than most saddle setups. Unless your doing one sticking or some other BS. Which, ironically, is the same movement as using a climber just more of a PITA and not as safe.

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Thanks for the comment. I love hearing what people have to say. I am not a saddle fan for the most part and agree. I look for easy trees to not make much noise. Climbers work great for that

[@bojobrown5919]

Only 250lb weight rating

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Yeah I have seen reviews by a few guys that are quite a bit larger. But that’s what they have it listed as.

[@surviveitforbeginner]

I heard the $1k price tag... I'm out

[@rogueoutdoorshtkstw]

Yeah the price is the biggest draw back for sure.
