Honest review - thanks. I have just stealth stripped my 4 beast sticks and am waiting for the beast stand. I've been following Dan and Mario for awhile now and I also realize what they do for the regular guy out there hunting. A ton of unseen research and development goes into this stuff. I sold every stand I have to put towards this setup. It'll be the last tree stand I buy - after this it'll be ground sits. Best of luck to you this upcoming season.
I used mine all last season, and really liked it. I'll admit the seat and strap's aren't that great. But as for the everything else it's great, very easy to hang, haul in the woods, very comfortable for the longer set's. and lot's of room to move if needed.
I'm torn on getting the beast stand vs the lwcg .75. I like the lwcg design better but the beast stand is a bigger platform at less weight but also cost more. They are both over priced 100%. I will say that Dan seems like a good dude and his videos have helped me. I've emailed lwcg and gotten a snobby azz response back so..... yeah I'm torn, especially considering what they did with warranty support on the old lone wolf stuff. That is flat out a scumbag move but I dont know the whole story. Tough decision but maybe ill just run my China town xop stand & sticks again if I can't make up my mind. One other thing to consider is that the hunting beast website does offer payments through some third party thing but that makes these expensive hunting purchases easier on us.
I wonder how this stand would pair with the tethrd one sticks plus an aider on the bottom stick. God that would be the ultimate setup and super super light. Those sticks are like a pound each only bit also quite expensive which i do get, they are made out of more expensive materials than any other stick
Not fond of the design myself. Really not a fan of how the sticks pack. Not compact at all. The platform has way too much flex and the included seat is garbage. The included back pack straps are garbage... and it's the most expensive stand in the world right now. No thanks. The LWCG stands are less expensive, don't flex as much, the tree bracket doesn't make noise, the platform has integrated tie down points to use the straps to hold down gear, their system for packing sticks is far more compact and has less protruding points to snag brush. I know Dan and Andrea don't get along and Dan claims Andrea stole his ideas on LWCG products. I don't care whose idea it was to machine platforms from solid billets. At the end of the day, I care about who makes the better product. Right now, that ain't Beast Gear. They're more expensive and offer far less value.
Lots of true statements you brought up but Dan’s done a lot for the hunting community and I’m gonna run this stand along with the .5 from LWCG and see what one I like best. It’s all about personal opinion when it comes to premium gear
You sound like a hater. LWCG sells there 1st company and then started using the same design and similar name later so my morals won't let me use their products.
I disagree with some of your statements. I’m not biased at all, I’ve owned 2 LWCG stands and sets of sticks. I have a review on my channel of LWCG stuff. LWCG for sure offers more “bells and whistles” those tie down straps aren’t really needed on the beast stand with how the sticks attach to the stand. I’m actually a fan of it after owning one. If allows for much more room for a bag. The included seat is actually much better than it appears to be. Believe it or not I prefer the beast seat over the LWCG seat because it’s more rigid. The LWCG seats were just too mushy and my butt hurt after about 2 hours in the stand. I will agree they could come with better back pack straps. I’ve owned a 1.0, .5, and a beast stand, and I personally prefer the beast stand. It’s definitely a great time to be a mobile hunter. So many options these days it’s hard to go wrong.
I own the Beast sticks and yeah they pack like a big ol' Cadillac. I accidently kicked the doublestep on the outside edge with my Baffin titan size 11 boots going up the tree 2 or 3 times and the stick rang out like a dinnerbell, so definitely overrated and overpriced, but I already paid so that's what i use. The stand was just too long for me at 5'9" and i ended up switching to a saddle anyway, and for me it's a much easier way to hunt. I always hated the treestand tether setup with all the slack in the line.
This is the first time I watched your video's and I injoyed it. I weigh 245, do you think the stand and sticks would be out of my range? The money doesn't mater because to get any good stand or saddle system is close. Saddles without sticks run $450-650 according to the company and I know there cost to manufacture a saddle isn't near as expensive as a stand. I loved the way the Beast stand and sticks hooked up together.

Thanks a lot Dan! Good luck to you this year as well!
Dan how is the beast stand doing for you?
Thanks, really appreciate the honest review. 👍
Of course, thanks!
I love mine !!

Thanks the response Mike! Definitely going to put it to the test this season and see how it does! It’s definitely an awesome rig tho!

Decisions decisions!! Both great stands though

I run a .5 n 4 one sticks and I love that but just bought a beast stand out of bordem. And it’s a lot more roomy for an extra pound it’s awesome
700 dollars shouldn’t have to mod anything

@@MexicanMovie are your sticks stealth stripped?
I just cant spend that kind of money when i have a perfectly good lone wolf alpha, that im still plenty strong enough to carry.
Lone wolf it then!

Thanks for the comment. I think you’d be fine. I also like how they stack together as well. There’s definitely a lot of foot room!
Don't know if you got this or not, but I'm 255 and it's been great for me. I love it.
