![]() When it is strapped on the tree the sliding angle-brace holds your feet (see image right). Simply loosen the spin-clamps on the sliding angle brace, raise the tree strap bar away from the platform and lock the clamps again. Unlike many other sit and climbs, this one has the foot holders built into the adjustable angle bar. Its stamped pattern is pretty comfy on the back when packing too. The aluminum bottom frame offers plenty of durability and the foot space is ample while sitting or standing to shoot a bow. I’m not easily intimidated, but in the dark I was glad I didn’t have to linger too long thanks to my Lone Wolf. Halfway down the tree I heard a ridiculously large number of coyotes, maybe two hundred yards off. I timed myself this year while bow hunting a local wildlife refuge. It is a simple two piece design that packs together in about three minutes if you need to hurry. It is also in the top five lightest packable stands. Most climbers have rigid angle pieces that lock the straps down, the Lone Wolf’s collapse flush with the frame. The Sit and Climb from Lone Wolf is the slimmest design out there. More seat cushion needed, like 1/4 inch, just a bit more for those long sits.Requires fairly good body strength to use any climber, though this is probably the lightest.Nonetheless, the Sit and Climb stand drops thousands of deer every year. It also gets low points with those desiring more freedom of movement, or a very small profile, as the sit version has some extra visual mass. The drawback is for bow hunters and drawing room, but I know many bow hunters that still love it. I also like that those offer a shooting rest when the bar is raised. With a sit and climb, the hunter sits on a bar that later becomes a shooting rest when they turn around.Ĭlimbing a tree with the sit version is widely deemed the easier of the two, and what I am most comfortable with. With a hand climber the hunter holds the top piece, a simple sitting rest, while lifting the bottom of the stand with their feet. The difference between the two climber types is a matter of what holds your top half while you lift the bottom. Lone Wolf has two basic styles of their Sit and Climb model, and a few different hand climber options for the more daring. ![]() This is a review of the Lone Wolf Sit and Climb. The first one I’ll go over specifically I already went on about, calling it the Ferrari of tree-stands. Last week I talked a bit about the selection, placement and use of tree-stands. ![]()
