hyperflow Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 What you guys think of the lone wolf sit and climb, im wondering for comfort and how well a 225lbs guy would fit in it? or anything other good or bad thing you have to say about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lab_Cab Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm 220 and I use a sit and climb, but two year's ago model. The new model looks like an upgrade. I absolutely love my Lone Wolf. I mainly use fixed stands on my lease, but use the Lone Wolf in the very early season to move around a lot and try to pinpoint deer. It's extremely light and easy to carry on your back. I also use the Badlands Monster Fanny so my gear is easy to tote around. It's easy to set up on the tree, even in the dark. It's fairly quiet, although not as quiet as some of the coated chains. I usually only use the Lone Wolf when I'm hunting early AM or late afternoon, so I'm rarely in it for more than three hours at a time. I would not want to spend a whole day in it, but I'm always good for a few hours. I also end up turning around the seat and standing most of the time when I'm in the stand. I don't want to try to stand when a deer walks in. Overall, I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars. I'd always rather have a fixed stand and climbing sticks, but the Lone Wolf is a great tool when you need portability. AO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I bought my lone wolf sit and climb last season and have had great success with it.I am 6'2" and 250# and have plenty of room to move and remain comfortable,I love this thing.I looked at alot of stands before buying the lone wolf and think I made the right decision,I will probably not have anything other than the lone wolf now.They are expensive but in this case,you get what you pay for.Oh yea,I have sat in mine all day and not had any problems.

hyperflow Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 well i tryed the lone wolf today. Well its the biggest POS i have ever used, its uncomfy and unsafe. This treestand does not hold a candle to ANY summit. Wow am i ever disapointed, and the guy wont take it back. I would not recomend this treestand to sombudy i hated.

Flintlock1776 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Wow, what a difference in a few hours. Too bad. Maybe it just needs some getting used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperflow Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 There is no geting use to it. The top part is way to light you just nudge it and it falls down. The seat is just unreal uncomfy. Im so disapointed. I did this trade with a local store because i had a brand new moultrie camrea he wanted. I called the owner back to give him back his treestand and he didn;t wanna take it back. Im gonna call lonewolf tomorow, not sure what im gonna say but im gonna see if they can maybe do somthing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I cant beleive you didnt like it,your the first I have heard say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperflow Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Unless you stand up all day i dont see how anybudy could like this treestand. I would have trouble seating in it for 30min. IMO anybudy that likes this treestand is because they never tryed a summit, I would walk 10miles with the bulky summit on my back thats 3lbs more then walk 10 feet with this lonewolf. If anybudy wants this lonewolf at a GREAT price just pm me. Just pm me with offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 You need to adjust the seat straps and be sure that the seat is not up past your knees. Is there 2 straps that attach the seat to the foot part? The only way the top part will drop is if you don't have these straps on there since when you stand they then keep preasure on the seat part to stop it from dropping. There should be 2 3" straps on the seat part and adjustable length straps on the base that connect. You may want to look at adjusting this stand a little better. I have owned or used almost every stand out there and will tell you that this could be the best stand you have ever had to carry / use in the woods.

hyperflow Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 If i was a 90lbs girl maybe i wouldn;t mind the stand. I barly fit in it. When i climb the tree both my nees go on each side of the tree its so small. The foot hookups is just plain no good, If you put sombudy very weak to climb with it they wont be able to get back down because of where you have to hook up your feet. ( i know this because my gf couldn;t get back down) Its right close to the tree. The seat is so uncomfy its unreal I feel cramped, Also to carry it they give you these 2 lil thin straps that jab in your sholders. Summit give you this nice thick V strab so its supported by your neck and sholders. I just dont understand how sombudy could like this thing. The ONLY thing i like about the lonewolf is the base part is very grippy. All i'll be thinking the hole time id be in it would be "this was a waist of money i should of bought another summit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so disapointed. Did you try using a ratchet strap to secure the top to the tree once you reached your hunting height? I lock mine in all the time, and it goes nowhere! Then again I use a Summit Goliath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperflow Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 yeah, not really intrested in trying to make this treestand work. After you hunt out of a summit all the rest feel like big pos's. Im just gonna sell the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Sounds like you made up your mind before using the stand. There is not one stand out there including a Summit that does not take some getting used to. To each their own. I'll give you a $100 bucks for it since it is a POS.....

hyperflow Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) id sell the pos 200 And i tryed it, its eazy to tell if u like a treestand after you try it. The seat barly fits me with just a coat and jeans on. I hunt in northern canada where its -20 to -30 in the late parts, and with 7-8 layers on theres no way im gonna fit in this treestand. I could fit MAYBE one cheek thats apart from the fact its a pos Edited November 30, 2008 by hyperflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
