The BEAST GEAR STAND Real World Review!!!

In today's video, we are reviewing the ‪@thehuntingbeast‬ Beast Gear Stand! Now this isn't like a normal review, we don't stand at a desk and read a spec sheet. We go over what chad likes about it and what mods he's done to it, and then we take it out in the woods and hang it on some pretty extreme trees to show of how versatile this stand is!
**DISCLAIMER**
WE HAVE BEEN USING MOBILE HANG ON STANDS FOR A LONG TIME AND ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH SETTING THEM UP. DO NOT TRY WHAT WE DO IN THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED WITH SETTING UP MOBILE HANG ON STANDS!!!

Good review guys. Dan and Mario did an awesome job with this stand and the sticks. Worth every penny in my opinion.

[@jeremywood1342]

Honestly your madness idea of the gear tie is genius. I will be borrowing that idea in the future

[@n.s.8803]

That stand is an absolute joy to pack and hang. Love mine.

[@caseyberning7789]

That stand is absolutely impressive!! I love the fact of how light it is, but also how stable it is at full weight

[@danielbethanyweltzin1918]

Been running the Beast Stand all season. Replaced my XOP Vanish Evolution, which was good… but this thing is awesome! Super easy to setup and ridiculously light. I’ve reduced my takedown time & noise level in half. 2nd full season with the Beast Sticks as well-nothing comes close to their solidness & grip.

[@FromFieldtoTable]

New to run & gun and looking to grab a setup like this, really dig the extreme real world examples for me to look at! Also awesome to see the mods you made. Thanks for the info!

[@jessemoore7696]

Every crazy tree you put it on from the 2 inch one to the 65 degree one was tight with one strap. Both straps would have made it extremely sturdy. Great video. I am getting a set of sticks and stand next year. I have to save up.

[@chancehutcheson621]

A video with Chad all about paracord applications, must know knots, hacks, uses etc would be sweet! I’m a paracord guy and it would be cool to have one video specifically for deer hunters who use it!

[@budbrown9504]

I just got a chance to hunt out of the beast stand. This stand is one of the best I ever hunted out of. I kill a huge buck out of this stand and the buck never heard me turning around in it. Super quiet and hunted trees I never could before. Would love to show you this buck some day. like y’all guys.

[@mikefeaster8827]

Really liking my stand as well. Glad I made the investment.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Definitely a nice piece of gear. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Not necessary to kill a deer, but it just makes everything easier in the woods

[@hank4697]

Very good display in actual situations

[@arkieoutdoors397]

If you haven’t checked out the Stick, Stack, Stow system from Genesis 3D printing, you’re missing out. I added it to my Beast Sticks and whether you’re hunting out of a stand or saddle, it’s a lifesaver for keeping sticks together, being able to hang them from you/your pack while climbing, and being able to take them off one by one.

[@ram_bam]

Great stuff, man. Do you have a video about how you setup those ropes on the sticks?

[@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380]

I agree with everything except the para cord for silence, you are going to making a whole lot more noise putting the stand in the tree and the paracord just really does not do anything to make it quieter while installing... I have this stand and I use it alot and really like it great review...

[@samualadams824]

Use a gear tie on the bottom of the seat to hold the platform up while you hang it. Can even use a big one a d have it open enough to put the strap on the button

[@nickmurphy7463]

Loved the video, very informative! Have you considered a clip on mic? it will cutout the wind and back round noise so we can hear you better. Happy hunting!

[@MexicanMovie]

I have the Beast mini sticks and they stick to the tree great. The Beast stand is a little big for me (tried it at DeerFest), so I am waiting on the Beast mini stand I hear they will be making. Until then I am in a Trophyline EDP platform (3.8 lbs) with 2 Silent Approach steps on the platform strap to allow 360 if I need it, and hanging in a saddle and rappelling down at night, dropping sticks as I go. Once or twice going up on Beast sticks install my boot has scuffed the top step of my Beast sticks and made a ringing noise when I had to offset the antler bracket....that noise actually alerted a bedded doe to my presence a few weeks ago and it sucked, so I am going to try Bullman pioneer steps with EWO sewn buckle OCB straps to shave weight and potential noise.... but as far as sticks go, Beast minis have been my favorites (of the ones i have tried).

[@brianbennett8445]

There are a lot of inexperienced guys out there. I have over thirty years. (And I don't know any of these review guys here) But, I can tell you this is a solid review of this stand. Make your purchase with confidence. You won't be seeing anything better in the near future.

[@pyrolysis2129]

I ran into an issue with my Beast Sticks this season. After 2 seasons of flawless use I decided to add stealth strips to the sticks this year. When I reassembled the sticks I didn't cut the felt off where the brackets attach and tightened them as tight as I could and thought they were close to metal on metal. On my first hunt the aluminum bolt that goes through the bracket bent at a 90 degree angle but somehow didn't break completely and it was a safe climb up and down. I used 5 sticks and 2 of them, the bolts bent but the other 3 have been fine, many hunts later. Just something to be aware of. This was definitely user error on my part and my beast stand has been flawless so far.

[@danielbethanyweltzin1918]

being at your weight, did you feel like it had a lot of flex? that's my only concern is im about 230 and dont' want to worry about that

[@wk9953]

A lot of people complain about back pack straps, because the put everything on the stand and use the stand as a frame pack. I prefer to strap my stand to my pack and only use the strap to carry it up the tree

[@thesupremefishingteam585]

Maybe a bit heavier but the lone wolf is basically the same stand it’s crazy to see

[@adamwilkins5148]

I’ve noticed that some folks talk about the flex and some don’t. It’s an obvious issue i think every review should address.

[@dustintimmons7454]

I bought that same bino harness after one of your gear videos. Curious if yours makes the same noises mine does, Seems every movement or breath i take there is a bit of a creeking noise. Is this something you have experienced as well and if so how did you remedy the situation.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Hmm... I haven't had mine make any noises. Can you pinpoint where the noises are coming from?

[@chadsyl23]

No squeaks on mine. In Idaho while I was carrying a firearm with a chest harness there was plastic on plastic contact that would make noise but never by itself. Can you tell where it’s coming from?

Sorry Kode! We actually had a equipment malfunction and was forced to use the in camera audio.

[@jhoffman81]

I like that Dan put the teeth the whole way into the v of the platform. Thats one thing I dont like on a lot of stands. Lots of stands are also not wide enough at the back to engage any teeth at all. The wider that bracket is at the back the better. Honestly I wont be buying this stand, but theres something to be said about Dan a machinist by trade making a stand. I had the sticks and almost laid myself open on one.

[@michigangrownoutdoors7254]

Literally the inability to level and the sounds it makes when hanging makes this stand a no go for me. Scroll to the angled tree you hung in.. measuring the offset… and when you “shake”the stand squeaks. I had noise issues with the stand I had… which is why I don’t have it no more. (12:15 for failure to level… 23:20 for noise). But thanks for the video.

[@TheMichiganShow]

Is there a stand that can level in a tree at 12:15? You said inability to level but at 12:17 clearly shows the ability to level. Is there a stand that can be level at that steep of an angle?

[@michigangrownoutdoors7254]

My lwcg stand has no issue with that angle… if you go to my page I show that. I just think Dan needs to make the cables a little longer and it will better level.

[@michigangrownoutdoors7254]

12:17 shoes where the stand should level. But even at the bottom notch, it still points up.

[@glendonyoder9722]

Trying to decide between this and a tree saddle. Any advice?

[@chasingthefish9042]

Man people bash it but the phantom is a good place to start. I will say you need to get used to it. Trusting a rope is kinda sketchy. But after 6 or 7 times using the tether you start to feel good about it. Additionally make sure you get a ropeman or king duck. Way better then the knot. Please make sure you get the right assender for your rope size.

[@chadsyl23]

I don’t think you can go wrong with either option. Regardless of what you choose, you need a climbing method. Start off with quality sticks.

[@chadsyl23]

If you can borrow a saddle from a buddy, that might be a great way to test the waters. There’s so many great saddle companies making good products. Personally I would just stay away from the bottom of the barrel brands. Good luck!!!

[@matthewknight496]

If your hunting where this isn't a lot of solid trees. A saddle would be a good option but I've never used one. If you have big oak trees to put a hang on up. Can't beat that. My best deer stand is 7 feet off the ground. Built it with 2x4s. It's right on the crest of a great ridge where deer funnel through. I have gotten a couple deer out of it and seen a nice buck but my dad's friend got 2 10 point bucks from the same stand 2 years in a row! Slightly jealous over here but it's a helluva stand in the middle of a giant oak tree. It's nice how close to the ground it is on one side. But 25 feet down to the backside. Nothing better than a pre built in a giant tree. You never get silhouetted.

[@HockeyTownHooligan5]

Any of the Tethrd stuff is very light weight and well made. If tree stands are your thing and you can afford one of these, by all means get one. In my opinion you can get a saddle and have a lighter set up you can literally fit in your backpack. It’s all personal preference, just like which golf club you go with or hockey sticks or running shoe. It’s whatever fits you best for your scenario.

@@HockeyTownHooligan5 ty,I got a trophy line on its way,can’t wait to try it

[@HockeyTownHooligan5]

@@ronmacdougall9612 I've heard good things about trophyline saddles. There's a few I would like to try. John Eberhart has a two panel saddle that looks very comfortable for long sits. I have the original Tethrd Mantis saddle. It's very light and sort of comfortable. Long sits get kind of brutal towards the end of the hunt but most days I can get by. I definitely recommend the wild edge steps. I have 8 of them and it gets me up to about 20 ft with an aider. Works very well. Sticks are cool too but they can get very bulky and clink and clank when go through trees and brush. I like to be as least bulky as possible since I'm bushwacking on public a lot of the time.

This is such an ignorant comment. The lone wolf climber is nice but you have to have a tree with no limbs. Whenever you are setting up and taking down each hunt, the weight of the stand is amazing and just makes this style of hunting much more enjoyable. Am I going to kill more deer because of this lock on? No, but walking in and out and setting up is going to be a breeze.
