Everything You Need to Know About Climber Tree Stands - Mobile Hunting Series I 

Good job. Always looking to learn. Thanks

Good luck this fall John. Looking forward to seeing your hunts!!

The foundry I used to work at poured the platforms for lone wolf. They were a huge pita if anyone was wondering.

My dad got me a climber stand for my birthday, and its absolutely sick!! I would say its the best stand all around, if you use youre harness, wich you should no way around it youll be fine , ive already had a slip . But i was strapped to the tree and the bottom platform ended up gripping the tree when i slipped and my tether was tight. But it's awesome for being able to move it around for different time of the day , if you know some spots you can go to.. you can just climb down and go , plus . Its fun climbing up the tree in youre stand , idk why but it just adds to the experience. Ill probably have this stand the rest of my life , specially since my dad got it for me . I got the guide gear stand . Not the deluxe, wich the deluxe only has different bungee cords , and bottom platform i rhink is slightly bigger , for me im a tall thinner dude so the platforms are plenty big enough . I recommend a climber stand to anyone who will take the time to be safe about it , as in as you go up the tree , stay harnessed to the tree , may take extra time but do it. Falling from a tree will no doubt break youre bones. You take a harder hit falling straight down than falling with forward or backwards momentum always remember that. , good luck hunters , check out the guide gear stand , its affordable and pretty damn safe . Awesome bday gift for me .

Great info!! I like that pull up technique, that's a great tip.

Good informative video. Good luck with ur channel.

I’ve had my LW hand climber since 1999, & I’ve been climbing exactly like that for years. I’m 61 years old , but have been lifting weights off season for 30+ years. All your tips are spot on, also I’m constantly checking bolts, belts & condition, everything’s been replaced on mine a few x, but works excellent. I’ve climbed up a tree & down a tree with a deer in sight , quiet enough not to heard. Nice video. 👍

Hey man great videos you put out! I would definitely use the strap to connect both sections together man, especially you got a family to come back to !! Good luck this fall bud

I love my LW hand climber, been using it for about 15 years now. This was a great video. I learned a faster way to climb. One suggestion would be to carry a small folding hand saw to trim small branches/limbs that can get in your way. Good job!

I have that stand also, good luck with that thing at 47. I have switched to saddle hunting

Nice video and good tips. I love my LW climber. I’ve gone to my LW Alpha and just picked up 32” Novix sticks. I use a lineman rope so I’m attached 100% of time. I only go up once and I can be up the tree and hunting in about 6-10 minutes on average. I’ve used them all but IMHO, if you are a serious mobile hunter, it’s hard to beat LW. Another investment most mobile hunters need to make is fitness. I don’t know many overweight or out of shape noble hunters.

Have a saddle set up for this season, not throwing out my api climber just yet .

NEW SUBSCRIBER

Been using climbers for over 20 years and had my platform fall, just once. It never fell again and one day you’ll learn as well.

Awesome set up. We hunt the PA mountains too and am always looking for a better mobile system. Is that hand climber available now?

Great video! I feel like the tree stand makers have really forgot about the people that utilize climbers. Hard to find a good lightweight climber anymore.

Great video! Thanks. I have had one for about ten years now. I never used it because of fear. After watching this video I am going to try it for the first time. But I think I will go up and down about 10 feet several times to make sure I feel safe first. I will watch this video several more times before I try it for real. What harness do you recommend to use? Thanks again.

I have probably the same stand. Lone wolf assault hand climber 2. I do find the seat a little uncomfortable during longer sits. What seat cushion do you have on yours? Been trying to find good options. Thanks!

Speaking of not getting stuff hung up, reverse you straps so the belts are down, you won't get them snagged that way

Good Lord I'd give myself a hernia if I tried to use a climber like that! Plus I'd have to be in condition of an Olympic athlete. And I been using climbers over 30 years(I'm 66 yo)

do you have link to your harness

what part of PA are you hunting?

I believe I will stick with Summit. Much safer, more comfortable and quiet. I don't hunt 10 miles deep. I can hack the weight. Good video.

Putting that climbing aid/seat overhead might be faster when youre fit and in your 20s Im chubbier now. No thanks. Ill go slow n safe

I will keep my 180 pounds in the sit and climb 💀 I only got a few pull ups in me my dude.
