    The sticks are the best part of the combo IMO, I mean the stand is sweet...but sticks are phenomenal!

    I think how well they pack up and easy to setup are the best features!

    When it comes to treestands and climbing sticks Lone Wolf really is the "Mercedes" of what's available out there. The other stuff works, and plenty of deer are killed from cheap stands and screw-in steps each year, but once you hunt out of a Lone Wolf you'll never want to go back to anything else. Every time I have to hang, or help someone hang, a stand or sticks that aren't Lone Wolf it's a very quick reminder of how much better Lone Wolf really is. From the ease of packing them in to getting them on the tree and locking them in place they simply cannot be beat.

    I know they're expensive and not everyone can afford them so I'm not saying you must use LW or you can't kill a deer, but IMO they are the finest stands and climbing sticks that money can buy. I personally would cut back on higher end accessories like my optics, arrows, and clothing if it meant the difference between buying a $350 jacket or a LW stand. Having the ability to move around at will and be dead silent doing so is a huge advantage you just can't get with other products.

    Make sure you check out stealth strips for your sticks and stand. Awesome how much more quiet they are with the strips.

    You made a great investment, they are the bees knees of tree stand. I could go into a rant on why but Justin summed it up the best.

    You wont be disappointed, I promise you that.

    The weight limit is 350lbs. I'm only 240 but at 6'5 their stability is unbeatable. My climber is the only thing that comes close.
