Lone Wolf Custom Gear - .75

[@sisky365]

I've been running a lone wolf alpha with 4 sticks and stick quiver for 3 years. This is a MUCH needed upgrade for me. I find it hard to run a backpack, not only does the stick quiver get in the way but also puts that weight out further out. I usually put everything I need in my pockets and just haul the stand and sticks on my back. I think you've helped me make my mind up, hesitant too spend over a grand on a full setup but I'm going to be using this next season. Thanks man. Great videos.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Well its been 8 months, how did you end up?

[@johncannady6105]

It's really hard to beat the LWCG system. Their stuff is expensive, but it all just works together so well! I love my 1.0 and 17" compact sticks w/ aiders. Ready for deer season!

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Yes sir! Time to slay some deer!

[@Lando_TX]

Absolutely phenomenal video 🤙🏼. You explained everything I was curious about in a well thought out manner. Thanks man

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Thank you!! Appreciate it

[@jalton9416]

I have the 0.5 with 4 doubles. I don't need any other stand or steps. Quality gear.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Definitely 🤙🤙

[@Rooster_king]

I have the 1.0 and honestly I wouldn't want it any smaller. All these tiny stands to make as light and compact as possible reminds of the evolution of cell phones when they got so small you couldn't hold them to your ear lol.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

.75 is a decent size stand for the mobile hunter in my opinion.

[@vangxiong6151]

I think it’s nice to have options, as a smaller guy I don’t need a big stand to hunt. After hunting out of my assault 2 for years it’s time to get something smaller and lighter

[@mcparlandoutdoors1196]

That stand is going to be my all day sits in the hardwoods. The .5 is my long walks or swamp trees. Like the tree u lean on in the morning and it falls down.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Same thing im gonna do bro!

[@iBleedStarsAndBars]

Man Lonewolf custom stands are super nice. You are killing my wallet with the gear reviews 😁. Season hasn't started and I've bought a new climber, lock on, sticks, bow, built new arrows, lol. Hunting, fishing, reloading, and collecting guns are my bad habits, guess it could be worse. Thanks for the in depth reviews and good luck this up coming season.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

They are super nice, I took my .75 to work and showed some of the engineers it and they were blown away by the quality and machine work, they couldn't believe I put it in a tree and hunted with it lol, we are truly blessed in this mobile hunting renaissance were experiencing right now. Best of luck to you this deer season too!!

[@michaelklein3244]

Yah that .75 looks like that sweet spot 👌 I may invest in a lwcg setup next year. Just now able to complete my one stick and 4 stick+platform setup this year

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Right on! Its a quality item.

[@DavidGonzalez-ek3zh]

I have an original LW from 20+ yrs ago...still one of their best! Then went to small alpha and then Novix held. All 3 are amazing! Not sure I would like the flex part of platform. Thx for your review

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

All great stands!!

[@fishingwithphil2582]

Another great video! This will be my next year purchase. Still running the Helo one more season.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Helo is a nice stand, I ran mine last September in Kentucky and loved it.

[@darrenbowers3267]

Love your honest reviews. I should not spend the money but man I would love to try this stand and a set of double sticks. I have been a mobile hunter about 38 years (no is was not just invented lol) and may have to sell some stuff and just do it. Darren

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

I used to mobile hunt a lot when I was a kid. Then kind of got away from it. Now im 100% mobile again.

[@garrettstraffon608]

That thing is just bad ass, maybe next year I’ll go all in and spend the thousand and get the whole set up. I was thinking the novix helo and just making due but I think I would be better off spending the extra money and getting the best of the best. I like this stand better than the beast stand to

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

I love it. I might run it this weekend. Ive been running my .5 so far this season.

[@XngGen]

.5 or .75? I'm a bigger guy seeking to find which one best fit me. Especially, platform is a thing for me. If I can't see my tip of my foot then it's a no go. I like a larger platform and u get space to stretch the legs out

Great stand, I still love the old loc-on's better. I hear there's a guy still making them, on request, one of the guys that makes saddle platforms. Loc-on was the lightest hang on out there, i still use mine. I'm a Slovak, lol.

[@jhoffman81]

There's no comparison. The locon limit or windwalker seats are torture chambers. They have no bat wing or teeth at all. I had one, it worked, I bought it direct from locon for $120. At that price it was untouched in that range but these aren't even close.

[@MHobbs06]

Mark Cama at Treehopper has new old stock Windwalkers and they're making the pack for it as well. They're not listed on his site but you can contact him and he can get one for you. I got a Windwalker a few months back and recently got the pack. He's supposedly making some type of bracket so that you can level the Windwalker.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

They remind me of my old loggy bayou stand, it was a tuff sit even for a 14.year old kid.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

If you dont mind the skinny platform then your good to go! The 1.0 has more width!

[@borivers9514]

Great review. At time 13:25 in your video shows your mini climbing sticks. Those look like the new design with the small hook tab below the top step bolt and also the machined/integrated versa button. I just got some new LWCG mini sticks but they are the older style. Is that integrated hook/tab a nice feature such that you could effectively the stick on your belt, pocket, or rope to hang it while climbing and setting up? Regarding the integrated versa button, does the buckleless method work effectively with that button? Thanks.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Yes thats them! The stick hangar feature works great and I like it a lot. I have not tried the buckless method on those sticks yet. Sorry.

[@borivers9514]

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors Sounds good. Thanks. My new .75 stand has the new integrated versa button and I tried the buckleless method on that and it worked really well. Thus, I ordered some new compact sticks with integrated versa button and the integrated stick hanger.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

[@melvinsacromentoe]

Man that looks like a great stand

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

I think its a winner 🏆

[@timweigel9542]

Would you say this is your favorite hang on in the market right now? Also, do you have a preferred set of sticks that will take you up 15 - 20 ft? Used Novix / old Lone Wolf hang ons and only lone wolf 30’’ stix up to this point. Thinking LWCG / XOP for another stand and unsure on the sticks, maybe skeletor?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

id say this is my second favorite. I prefer the smaller .5 stand. U now use lwcg double step sticks, 4 of them with aiders will get you that high.

[@shawnhemminger4179]

At the 330 mark the measurement shows 27" for stand length. Is that measured from the post or the part that synches into the tree?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Id have to measure to be sure.

[@asianxiongster]

How comfortable is it to sit on the seat face towards the tree? Thoughts on this is that you can peak out either on the right or left side of the tree so you don't get easily picked in the stand verses placing the stand outwards.

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Id have to try that, I usually avoid that position.

[@Wiscobowhunt]

I’ve been watching your channel for awhile now man I can really see the growth and quality of your videos and reviews it’s badass. Congrats on everything and I appreciate the hard work that goes into making these videos the information is killer. Will we be seeing some self film hunts as well!? What LWCG stand have you decided to use for yourself?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

Thank you Wisco!! Much appreciated! Yes, I have some self filmed hunts to post soon. I got super slammed with work and life and have been hunting really hard so its taking me a while to be able to sit down and edit anything. I run the .5 and the .75 stand.

I’m 6’2 and wondering the same thing. I was about to jump the gun and buy the stand till I realized I could get a longer seat post, now I don’t know which one to go with.

[@whitedoutdoors]

Great content man! I am 6'5 260lbs with size 13 feet. My question is do you think I would have room on this stand or would I be better off looking at the 1.0?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

It might be a little tight with 13 boots, 1.0 has more width to it. Cant go wrong with either one.

[@whitedoutdoors]

Thanks man! Keep on keeping on. Side note: have you ever used a Kifaru pack for mobile hunting?

[@mikefeaster8827]

Is the .5 close to the same comfort with the 22" seat post as the .75 is?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

No, the .75 is more comfortable due to the larger seat.

[@racerjj55]

Okay I’m hooked but for me being 190lbs 6ft tall doing all public land what would you choose the .5 or the .75?

[@MichiganGreatOutdoors]

It really depends on what your looking for, pure mobility or a stand a little heavier that can do both but is more comfortable? The .5 isnt the most comfortable stand ever but its lean and mean and great for long walks or in the swamp. The .75 on the other hand is gonna be a little heavier but adds quite a bit of comfort. Are u a sitter or a stander?

Well the doubles are only rated to 250# so techically you have to use them at your own risk, Im 265 and I use the doubles with no issues, I think being heavier it helps set them on the tree better too, I use the supplied cam straps too.

I always give my take on it and my honest opinion. If I absolutely hate it I might not even make the video or if I don't see any value in the product for my channel. For an example, ive had a product sent to me for a video and I it broke like the first day, I didnt even bother making a video. Most companies want a honest review, specially in the mobile hunting game id say that most if not all of them see the value in getting honest feedback so they can improve there products.
