I really appreciate your info. 52 and pretty athletic but never used sticks and a little sketched about trying them but that made me feel a little better lol. Never heard of the stand your talkin about but going to Google it. The other thing is doin this in the dark goin up w sticks and hanging a stand seems like a lot, doing it quietly seems impossible. I use to climb w a summit viper climber for a long time. Dan seems to hunt the evenings a lot, I wonder if that's a factor, the noise in dark ect. I also need to b semi comfortable I can't stand for hrs and I already know w my back in a beast stand probably 3hrs max 3 in am 3 in pm.
Novix makes what was originally the lone wolf stands. They make a larger one that would be more comfortable for long sits. You’d be surprised how quiet you can be once you do it several times. Just go slow and figure out the best process for you. Lots of YouTube videos with ideas! When I shoot my bow in the evening I set it up
Will do man
Very nice setup, do u attach stix to stand when going in? And what brand work bench is that? LolI have the Beast stand and mini sticks. I was looking for a lightweight alternative to my bulky Summit viper. The Beast stand is incredible. For the size, there isn't another that is as lightweight. The sticks don't really integrate that well in my opinion. I think LWCG does a better job of attaching the sticks to the stand for transport. The Beast sticks are by far the best stick I have used. I ordered some 18" cable aiders from Eastern Woods Outdoors and Versa straps from Tethrd. I can get 22' up with the aiders with 4 minis. That's stretching it out though and I will probably cut that back to 18-20 if I don't want to stride that far apart.
I have an old Lone Wolf Alpha stand that weighs about 11lbs, not super heavy but I can tell the difference between the two stands when I'm hanging it on a tree. The Beast stand is just a sweetheart to hang.
I added on old Gen 1 Exo Mountain Gear shoulder harness to the stand and it carries very well.

I will probably attach them somehow, just haven't figured out the best way yet. The threaded rod that came with the stand attaches the sticks horizontally which kinda leaves the ends sticking out on either side of the stand when you're walking in.
And what is the LWCG that u think works better for attaching stix?
Lone Wolf Custom Gear, it and beast gear seem to be about the most popular on the market right now for a mobile stand (also the priciest)
I should have been more specific. I like the way that the compact climbing sticks ride on the 1.0. A buddy of mine has one and it's a slick system how the all work with each other. I took a screenshot from the website so you can see what I'm referring to.
They definitely pack better than but I can’t imagine those square headed bolts on the lwcg bite into the tree as well as the beast sticks!I should have been more specific.
