I’ve been using a LW Assault 2 w/ 4 Muddy Pro sticks for 9 seasons. I absolutely love this set-up. I have modified it a bit also.

Light weight, what ever happened to the old super light aluminum Loc-On's? That design was awesome. Fortunately, I still have a few just "hanging around"

I’ve ran the lone wolf the last few years. Haven’t had any issues. The platform is clutch on long days.

I’ve owned the Alpha and the Assault. Sold the Alpha. The Assault is perfect for me because by the time I’m doing longer sits during rut, I’m in my Millenniums that are hung in the summer. My Assault is for early season mobile hunts.

Last year I hunted with a Novix Echo but wanted something a little lighter and more streamlined for hang and hunt, so I ordered the Helo. The platform seemed even smaller stepping on 20 ft up, though! Thankfully the guy with Lone Wolf/Novix told me the Assault2 weighed only a pound more. Bungee sticks and a pack on, and the difference is barely noticeable. The Assault’s platform bowholder holds my Bowtech, too, so the Helo had to go. Hunters wanted something lighter so Novix did what they could with a 300 lb rating.

Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that when you call Novix they answer the phone Lone Wolf? I bought a Novix Echo and was missing some parts. Called them and was SHOCKED!...not really. The Novix Echo and Lone Wolf Alpha look identical and use all the same exact hardware. Novix is just less expensive, for now. I love my Novix so far and look forward to using it a lot this year.

Nope. I've never changed the cables on any of my Lone Wolf stands and I've had some of them going on 15 years. I give them all a good review before the season to make sure they're not rusted or worn. Never had an issue yet.

Are these comfortable enough for all day sits? I’ve seen some reviews on the forums that say they are not. People say millennium stands are much more comfy

You better believe that the original Lone Wolf company is now done for and is now called Novix. And boy am I glad that I got my Alpha 2 when it was only $250 at Scheels. Now your only option is the Echo which is like $350!! Or you could go the cheaper china XoP route and even those are over $200 now, but they are good stands, just slightly heavier. I think once Novix (lone wolf treestands) saw what guys were paying for Beast Stands ($500) and Lone Wolf Custom Gear (same price damn near). Oh Boy!! "Oh guys will pay $500 for a stand, let's mark it up gentlemen,. Let's charge $350. Lmfao. Glad I got my Alpha II 2 years ago. Same with the climbing sticks

@@joshanderson1901 My point is why would I pay over $200 for a stand when I can get one for $100 or less that performs the exact same job. I've never been able to justify that. I've built most of my own stands out of aluminum or steel anyway.

@@JoeMartin007 sorry, I was just answering your question on how people can afford a $200+ stand. My questions to you: is that $100 stand light weight like these $200+ stands? Is that $100 stand have expanded metal/mesh tack welded in 3 spots which causes major creaking noise when the temperature drops below 50 degrees? Is that $100 stand highly adjustable for crooked trees? I'd bet you couldn't find a $100 stand in the marketplace right now.

@@joshanderson1901 exactly! That $100 stand will weigh 16-17 lbs & will rust out in 4 or 5 years. I'm not knocking them because I still use several for some of my traditional rut spots that I put up in late summer & leave all fall. But for hauling in & out daily there is no comparison.
