Thanks! I'm sure there are many faster. I'm just an old guy climbing a tree. But the hope was people found something in there that helped them find a way to add efficiency to their system.
No way am I doing that. I’ll sit on my Walmart folding stool or lean on a tree. I’m not getting on that little perch for hours or doing anything like that in the dark. Definitely not for me. Glad I watched this. Great real life experience and not just gear promotion hype.
I shot a doe this Monday on, NOT a Walmart crappy chair…. On one of those luxurious rocking lawn chairs. Sitting behind a bush on a lawn chair. Was incredible. Didn’t break a sweat.
Thank you, very helpful. Just ordered those XOP sticks for my hang on setup. Black Friday sales is on, $79 to my door for the 3 pack! $20 more than garbage ladder type steel options out there which way more than double.
Thanks. It's just having a system that works for you and getting good with it. Doesn't matter the system, components etc. Just getting efficient with whatever works best for you
System, system , system!!! I use 4 latitude ss sticks with two one step aiders, an XOP Coldworld stand and the biggest thing for me is a Genesis 3D strap stager. Takes me a few minutes longer then you at this point but it’s new set up for me this yr. Figure after seasons done I’ll get setup time down to about 8min quietly. Great video!!!
Perfect! The speed doesnt matter for speed. It is just a way to measure efficiency in your system. Thats the gold. That strap stager is a great little bungie.
I've been running the XOP AIR RAID the last two Seasons..The Cold world has got to be lighter...I'm not getting any younger, tired of carrying everything...How's the platform up a tree on the CW
@@MarkShelby2025I luv the stand!!! I’m used to a Loc-On Windwalker so the Coldworld platform is a lot bigger. I was gonna go with the LWCG .5 but I can still use the WW most of the time if I’m gonna go that small. I switched to a Trad bow this yr and needed a stand not a saddle so I was trying to decide between a LWCG .75 or the Coldworld for a touch more room. XOP went on sale for under $300 and with discount code I got it for about $260. Super light and super easy to hang. Weights not a huge issue for me as long as it doesn’t weigh 15-18lbs alone. The strap stager makes weight almost a non issue. Luv the platform size as it’s a few inches bigger all the way around then my WindWalker and it’s rock solid in the tree!!!!!
That's the key right there! Watch how people do things and they take away from it what will work good for you and then tweek what doesn't so thst you get a perfect system for you
Love my assault ! Full planned to use the assault on my 3 week 3 state rut trip coming up. But as you will see in upcoming videos. I'm bringing my assault but plan to spend all the time in my new xop rubicon. The rubcon is really impressing me alot and I want more time on it.
@caseymclamb5890 these were straps that hunting beast had a close out on a couple years ago as the color came out wrong so they were selling them for 3 bucks a strap.
I tried this method of carrying the stand It’s way better than using on your back. I can’t believe how much easier it was to move through the brush. Usually my stand will get snagged and yanked back when it’s on my back Very good teaching lesson
My problem is I would be absolutely dripping with sweat after the setup. Even a climber results with me sweating profusely. Not for me but looks very efficient for you, very nice system…
@@SamkoTradBow I get that. I’m in the north east. The problem isn’t heat or sweating it’s the cold. I sweat in cold weather then freeze. That is the issue
@richstafford1245 very true. When I was in Michigan (my whole life until 2 years ago) I often walked in to hunt in my thermals with all my clothes in and on my pack for thermal regulation. It's crutial
Thanks for showing this in real time. Is that the standard amount of noise you make when getting up the tree? I am just starting out hunting and am always concerned with making the tiniest noise so it takes me almost a half hour to get up the tree and settled in. Am I being too cautious?
Only time i worry about noise is don't want metal hitting metal. Otherwise the woods is loaded with natural bodies from squirrels, and bird and branches falling etc. I only worry about metal on metal
Well it all depends on what type of hangon system you have. Some take longer than others to set up and plus the type of tree youre climbing in. If you wanna be in a tree where it has a lot of vines , branches and all kinds of junk around it will take me 45 mins to set up. But if im in a straight oak tree or any straight tree, 15 mins
Jason, love the video! Was just in grayling, the wife and I traveled all of mich. We tried going to the bears den for some pizza. They closed down! I wanted to see your bear!! Happy hunting and stay safe!
The owner of the bears den called me last week and said he thinks he has a couple that wants to buy it and keep it as the bears den. so hopefully its going to reopen soon!
Jason, new sub here. I watched so many of your videos, amazing content to learn from - you're a natural teacher. I'm setting up for my first climb using a tether/lineman safety system. My question is, are both your home made tether rope and lineman rope systems 11mm? Thanks in advance
@davidsisamis1595 had a strap on hook 3 times and left all 3 in a tree by accident. They are great but I have a condition where I seem to often forget them.
Way better than a saddle imo. Keep you close to the tree and more hidden. You can still almost shoot 360 and allows you to have up and down mobility easier than in a saddle. Personally think this is the way to go.
@htj0311 i make it. It's a ropeman 1 on 11mm climbing rope. If you search lineman on my channel a bunch of videos will pop up on the parts you need and how to make it. Super easy to build and so fast and efficient
@dannysteinhart5507 i sold it when i mive to Georgia. Now thst I'm always in bulky snake boots it's too narrow and I get hing up in the cables trying to spin to shoot deer. Sold it and bought wider stands. But love the beast stand. Just too narrow for me down here
@lukebonagurio4503 to be apples to apples comparison the harness had to be left out as many wear it in or use a harness that takes longer. It takes me 1 minute to open my pack and put on my harness and hook my lineman belt and another 20 seconds to pull out my pull up rope and have everything connected
I am going to tell on myself. Been trying to use stand and sticks more than climber. I am petrified stepping onto the stand from the sticks lol. I am harnessed in and being safe but man I have some work to do. Caming the stand in, thats even worse lol. Hoping with more practice I will feel comfortable.
@chadrichhart8095 yep many feel uncomfortable hunting from hang on stands. Best bet to get the comfort is to practice with one stick close to the ground and hang the stand and practice. And remeber you don't need to hunt high to kill deer. As long as you have cover 8 feet works just as good as 16 feet
@ thanks for the response! Another question for you! I am new to the lone wolf single step full length sticks. I was able to pick up a set on the used market online. I had to put them together when I received them my question is when you put the steps on especially the steps with the stand offs how tight are those bolts supposed to be to be? Cause the way I got them on now the single is pretty hard to flip side to side and when I do flip it the bolt turns a little on some of them. Just trying to be safe here thanks Jason!
@@SamkoTradBowthanks! I’ll loosen them up a little bit. I’m actually putting together a lone wolf assault/ stick set up just like yours pool noodle and all because I like how efficient your system seems I think it could work for me. I have been using mini sticks for quite some time but the way you show this in the video with 3 full length sticks and how quick it can be done while alone not having to hang sticks off your body I dig it. Thanks for all your content! It’s fantastic!
@bluegrassdroneguy3495 i still do use the tether often. And tree with branches i will use a running bowline knot on the tether along with the lineman belt. Anytime it raining or i just feel like I want the extra security i will run the tether also. On a simple straight tree like this i usually just run the lineman belt as it's a simple non complicated climb and easy for me to keep my lineman belt tight and controled
@@SamkoTradBow you got to admit tho if a step or something breaks the linesman rope will not prevent you from falling down tree, takes a little more time and effort but better safe than sorry or injured. I Enjoy your videos Jason.
@bluegrassdroneguy3495 a lineman belt will catch on the tree, the sticks etc and keep me from hitting the ground. Have slipped a step 3 times in my life so I know first hand. But you are correct the tether is a sure safe bet. But also a pain in butt that annoys me to use all the time when climbing. So I use it when I need to and don't when I don't want to.
You need to try the V2 steps with an aider you’ll never go back I promise, love your videos hows the 1.0? I have a .75 I’m 6’2” 200lbs thought about getting another and getting a 1.0 as I have the 1.0 size seat and taller seat post
I will never for the rest of my life use any stick other than these. I have 6 sets, 3 sets still in boxes. Won't change. Tried others. Won't change. The 1.0 is a good stand. Has some quirks I get oissed about but a good stand. Have a video coming out "1 year review of the lwcg 1.0" coming out soon.
@welcometothetruth6651 my own design lineman belt with a ropeman 1 as ender. If yoy search lineman belt on my channel many vids will pop up on it. Very easy to make and amazing
I am NEVER in a hurry. I take my time so I can minimize movement and noise. In the AM I often stand on each stick and listen for several minutes. It's not a race and when you rush you make noise, forget to do things (like take your pool noodle off) and you make a lot of movement deer that are close will see. I've had deer walk in while I'm setting up.... that would not happen if your rushing and make a lot of noise and movement. And the last point is it is far safer to take your time. I've shot deer off my 2nd stick going up and down the tree... I pulled my bow up and shot. There just is not a good reason to rush.
@davetoms63 better for safety yes. But as a guy that often in the rut and in hill country have to move 2 or 3 times a day because of thermals or just shifts because a doe walked theu 40 yards away and you know every buck will follow her and you have to move. In these situations speed and efficiency is paramount. I have been busted so many times trying to make a mandatory move. And if I can make that move in 12 mins system to finish vs 40 mins is really increases my offs of being set up again before the next wave of deer come thru.
@SamkoTradBow I do the same ... I practice all year with my stand and sticks, it doesn't take me long if I want to.... far less than 5 minutes..... and like I said I'm always ready to pull up my bow and shoot.... and movement and noise can alert deer. Guess we all have our experiences. I just find being stealthy has always served me better than being fast.
@mathews2088 you would think. But nope so easy to navigate thick stuff and works so well. I never would of believed it. Found this method by accident when one of my straps broke a couple years ago and I had to carry it out like this for a mile in th swamp. Loved it
No way in hell i would only use 1 strap on stand. Ive seen them and have had those straps slip and fail! But u use the same system as me but I carry 4 sticks incase I need to go higher.
@indianapublicland7429 nothing wrong with running 2 straps. And I have had buckles slip at any time without warning. But doesn't worry me as I'm always tied into the tree every second.
Awesome video. Total perfection. I dont think there is another youtube hunting celebrity that can beat you in the speed and efficiency of your system.
Thanks! I'm sure there are many faster. I'm just an old guy climbing a tree. But the hope was people found something in there that helped them find a way to add efficiency to their system.
Another banger of a video! Keep it up, this time of year your stuff gets me pumped man!

I do every single morning I hunt. And have for 35 years of mobile hunting
No way in hell i would only use 1 strap on stand. Ive seen them and have had those straps slip and fail! But u use the same system as me but I carry 4 sticks incase I need to go higher.
