Lone Wolf vs. Muddy Pro vs. Hawk Helium Climbing Stick Review - Ridge Raised Outdoors

[@cavedweller364]

Glad someone local is building something like this, hats off to you guys

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Where you from?

[@howardgibbs1445]

Great video. You're forgetting one. The XOP. Set up just like lone wolf but the locking mechanism on their sticks is by far the best

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Thanks, and yes XOP makes a great set-up! Just a little heavier than the lone wolf. Good luck this fall and God bless

[@kaleborr7431]

Great video man! Keep the content coming. Fall will be here before we know it!

[@davelower141]

OK, thanks for the quick response's!

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

No problem, give us to follow!

[@DNick30]

Great video. Helped a bunch looking for what sticks to buy. Thanks.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Good deal. What ones did you end up buying?

[@joshuacrites4821]

Awesome review. I am looking at the Hawks. You just sold me.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Hey thanks for the kind words and good choice the Hawks are good sticks!

[@codykincaid6619]

Love the turkey clucking in the background. Lol

[@LITFOUTDOORSTV]

Nice work. Stealth Steps are one of my favorite.

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Love my hawk sticks

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Yep! They’re great for the price for sure

[@keithdkrantz886]

You did a very nice job, thanks

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@Legendary_Pursuits]

I’ve been in the fence about ordering the Muddy Pros but the reviews and quality seem to be really inconsistent, so I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Keep the review videos coming!

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Battle Creek Outdoors I love them! I’ve heard things about certain model of them having problems but I have the old version. I’m sure they fixed the problem by now though!

[@Legendary_Pursuits]

@@ridgeraisedoutdoors I would think so, my climber does the job 85-90% of the time but it would be nice to have another option.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Battle Creek Outdoors yeah, my climber days are pretty much over after using the hang and hunt method the last few years. Plus it’s a lot safer than climbers. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask man!

[@Legendary_Pursuits]

@@ridgeraisedoutdoors will do, I can definitely see some of the benefits. A lot of it depends on what area a guy is hunting too. Keep up the good work man.

[@mattsullivan4318]

Thanks for this info

[@cosmic_parallax]

I personally do not trust cam buckles to hold my weight. Im looking to get my first set of climbing sticks.. any opinions on cambuckles slipping? Should I trust them like 99percent? If not im looking for other options or diy solutions. Awesome vid. Very cut and honest

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Thanks your the input. And I’ve never had issues with the cam buckles slipping but like I showed in the video you can make a knot to secure it even more. These great options out there tho even if you want to make something yourself! Good luck this year and God bless!

[@vincentc2466]

thanks man

[@archeryonly5629]

Nice video brother

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Thanks a lot!

[@longbeard7T9]

I have the hawk helium’s with the buckle straps changed out for ropes like your muddy pros, I have the older helium’s without the suction cups though , I do like that stacking system better.

[@davelower141]

was about to them from camofire for about $135, now I'm not sure if they are the 2 post set or the recalled/old sets

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

I would buy them new off amazon or Mack’s PW

[@carypeaden4147]

Good review.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@davelower141]

what are some of the problems on the Muddy pro that you refer to on your post below, was just about to pull the trigger on a set but now have reservations

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

There was a recall on them in 2012. I’m sure if you ordered them brand new you’ll be fine. Here’s a link tho! saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/muddy-pro-stick-recall.12302/

[@bowhunter9288]

Lone wolf sticks are the best if ya know how to use them.

[@tommydean2906]

Any of these damage or effect the cambium of the tree?

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Tommy Dean not that I know of

[@robertdeis132]

Is it possible to replace the rope on the muddys?

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

I’m sure you could. What would you replace it with?

[@robertdeis132]

@@ridgeraisedoutdoors replace the original with a new one after it wares out.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Yeah I’d imagine you could

[@johnp1839]

How high can you get with the hawk 3 steps?

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

13-15ft. Depends on how long you space them out. With an aider even higher

[@benzlee8538]

how do u get over 20ft with just 4 sticks..im luck to even get 16ft with no add on..lol

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Spread them out

[@jonathannewby5823]

I got the Hawks on Amazon for $104

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Nice, how do you like them?

[@jonathannewby5823]

@@ridgeraisedoutdoors I hope so I just got them and I was just throwing that out there to help some people out because I know how it goes trying to make sure everything gets taken care of

[@chrislovely9136]

Both look great unfortunately I can't buy either one because neither one is made in America I only buy American Products

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Lone wolf is made in America

[@paytenblevins3401]

You better get off whatever device you’re using, sale your vehicle, and just live off the grid in a hut that you build… I know it’s nice to support American products and I do so when I can but cmon bud don’t be foolish
