Mississippi prep: Lone Wolf vs. Old Man

[@G273Outdoors]

Just finding your channel. I just recently got a new Ol'Man Alumalite CTS after using my previous one for a few years. Honestly, ALL stands have good and bad things about them. I am about Jarrod's size and the Ol'Man really works well for me. The stability on the tree (Built in teeth really grip tree well) and comfy seat sling really make it easy for me to sit all day. My tip on putting it on the tree. "Put the seat climber on tree first. Move it up about 4-5 feet and then put bottom climber on. Hook them together and then hook ropes (I put bow on one rope and backpack etc. on other) to either side of seat climber." Honestly, ANY stand can look easy or hard to use, it just comes down to repeated use and familiarity with the equipment. Both of these choices are great, but, for my budget and experience, the Ol'Man (now distributed by Millennium, which is an awesome company) is MY best choice.

I live in MS. In the river delta region they have some big deer. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these lone wolf hand climbers. Mainly because I don't like pulling my bow up once I'm 20 feet up a tree. I have a bow backpack and I could just keep it on my back using the hand climber.

Love the ol man cts stands. From one old man to another 😆

After many years of using a summit viper I am going to try out the Lone Wolf hand climber. The weight and cable system appeals to me. Great video

Lightest most compact stand I’ve ever climbed and the cable system makes for the fastest set up!

Hey. What do you have on the bottom section of the Lone Wolf section that you are putting your feet in during climbing? Is it just a bungee chord?
