I love the passion you put into your videos...its addicting! I haven't had a chance to get my hands on a beast stand yet, but I know my back hopes I pick one up. Thanks again
It's a great stand for sure! I bet you will love it
Good job Jason. Agree completely. Bought mine last year and was so impressed immediately that I sold a couple of Lone Wolfs and gave away a couple other stands. I’m 65 now and this stand is helping add years to my hang and hunt method. My best hunting buddy bought one too. Didn’t even hesitate. We hunt IN the tree stand almost four months each fall so we get our moneys worth. Good Hunting
Love hearing this. Such a great stand and glad you feel the same
Jason, great review as always. Thanks for your time. Very much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting
Good video. I don’t have one of these. But I do have a lone wolf and I’ve learned everything about portable stands from you, safety hanging hunting carrying strapping making quiet, whatever, you have covered it and you helped me a lot last year, I never even used a harness until you showed my how easy it really is and it’s worth it, you should always use one.
Love hearing this! Glad you are enjoying the info and so happy you are wearing a harness now and being safe!
You did a phenomenal job on this video! The Beast stand is my dream hang on stand. I’m still running a lone wolf alpha 2 and it’s really served me well, but I eventually want a Beast upgrade!
Both the beast and the lone wolf alpha are amazing stands
I used my beast stand all season and fixed the noise I was having by filing my bracket and the platform teeth. Just ordered a backup beast stand on sale awesome stand.
Yep I have been chamfering my bracket and platform teether for the last 15 years on my lw stands and on my beast stand. Make life so much easier when hanging to just give a quick stomp to lock it in.
Hit the nail on the head. Baddest stand out there period.
It's definitely my favorite stand ever
Thanks for the follow up. I really enjoyed using mine last season 😎
Welcome. Love the beast stand
Hey Jason, have watched this video probably 20 times, studying the details of how you have your stand setup and how you set it in the tree. Mine came a month early, am so excited, will be "hybreding", using my saddle as my harness, best of both world in my opinion. Stand up and lean back in the saddle or turn and sit for rest in a lengthly sit. with gear, clothes and everything I'm probably close to 260 lbs, still have a "healthy" fear of the heights however, the flex doesn't bother me as much as I thought. will be using it on a lot more "all day" hunts using my ebike to get back far into the woods. anyway, keep up the videos, it is obvious you know what you are doing.
Sounds like a great set up having the ability to saddle or stand hunt at the same time. Glad you are enjoying the stand! Ebikes sure do make it easy to get away from people!
This is how you do a stand review. Bravo.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Beast stand and sticks is a deadly combo! Good video
Agree 100%
Jason I’ve watched this video 100 times lol I’ve been saddle hunting for 4 years I want to get back to tree stand I already have beast sticks. You make the best content on UA-cam I hope to be able to meet you one day.
Appreciate that! Thank you.
P.s I’m not gay
@@austinphillips9966 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@austinphillips9966😂😂😂my dude
But on a real note why you get away from the saddle
Great stand made by a great group of guys.
agree 100%
Nice review brother! I'm excited to rock it this year too!
You are gonna love it. Such a great stand
Very nice presentation. You showed all the features and benefits well. That said.
You certainly would have felt like a fool if the cable broke like a cable broke on my sons stand. He climbed and set his stand that uses aircraft cable for the platform. He stepped on and gave it one good jump to make sure it was set and the cable broke.
Yep thats why I'm always connected to the tree climbing and in the stand. Never take and chances.
Well worth the money. I actually bought a entire saddle hunting setup for this year to try out and spent just as much as what this stand and some beast sticks cost. You want light weight and functionality, you gotta pay for it. It don't come cheap!
Well said and very true
You like the saddle? I dont like mine but keep it as a tool in my box
Another great video, appreciate it.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
I went to the mobile hunters expo this last weekend in kzoo mi. As soon as I picked up this stand I was sold. I bought the sticks as well. And I sold so many of my old ladder stands and hang ons after words it covered the cost of stand and sticks.
Outstanding. You are gonna love it. Best stand I have ever used
Luv your videos!!! We have different hunting styles and requirements of our equipment but your videos are VERY thorough and cover every base needed to make an informed, educated decision when spending our hard earned money.
So about this stand. I can’t bring myself to buy one for the sole reason that for me the profile and size of its footprint is just to big for me. The money doesn’t scare me cuz I will buy what’s best for my needs no matter the cost. I will sacrifice and save and pinch until I can afford it. I think if all things considered and functions are very comparable then $200 isn’t gonna be deciding factor. Example had Novix kept Helo around $200-250 then it’s justifiable for the savings as the functions are very close but now buy the best stand for your needs cuz they aren’t so far apart $$$ wise now. The “FLEX” factor for me is see as guys complaining cuz they’ve spent $600 and are thinking it has to be literally perfect due to money spent. What they don’t realize is most are coming from the cast world and they are buying a water jetted/machined stand for the first time. Cast doesn’t flex much like you said if it did you’d break it. They old find a lwcg 1.0 flex’s a lot too as compared to their Assault cuz it’s an engineering thing aluminum platform this light is gonna flex it’s the trade off. It’s a mental barrier and a tough hurdle for some guys and an easy nit pick. Now if your 250+lbs and the flex gives you some sorta feeling I get it your most likely pushing the limits of the stands capacities. Now know that the ratings are for say 300lbs but in testing that most likely could hold 1000-1500lb commonly. You wanna complain about $625 and seats a little thin or doesn’t come with quality shoulder straps I’ll listen to you a bit but the actual hunting functions are TOP notch on this stand. I wish they made on with smaller footprint I’d be looking hard at buying one and this is just a personal preference on my side.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos and appreciate this detailed comment. Dan does have a smaller size version of thos stand in the works. Not sure on release date but it's in the works. You nailed it when you said find the stand that best fits your needs.
@@SamkoTradBow
I’m really stuck myself at the moment between saddles, hang n hunt loc on’s and my trusty climber. I live u here Maine and our rut hunts are mainly gun hunts unless your on the coast and truly as most hunters here in the northeast we are “Trackers” at hart!!! Now I’ll will preface that with I’ve bow hunted since I was 16yrs old and actually worked as a bow hunting guide for 8yrs in Iowa at a very high end operation so I’m not just a “Tracker”. While covering the miles and miles I cover chasing big woods bucks I’m constantly finding spots and saying geez if a hunter was to just sit here they would shoot a monster for sure. Now my Dad NOT a tracker at all has greatly benefited from this and has killed multiple monsters sitting in some of those spots. I have a climber but set up to hunt with all my gear and extra cloths weights in at around 45lbs. More importantly it’s totally cumbersome walking through the woods!!! I have all but written it off and would almost rather sit on ground even though it’s SO comfortable to sit in. This is where my dilemma comes into play between saddle and hang n hunt. I want the saddle to work so badly as walking in with just a saddle and a few sticks will be easy but after buying one and having set it up a dozen times now I have my misgivings about it. Walked in 3 miles two weeks ago setup, broke down and made a two mile loop out in same time it would have taken to walk in with my climber. Now not many people up here hunt from saddles so being able to try one before buying one isn’t really an option. I did pick up an old school WindWalker stand for $20 on Craigslist a bit ago and this is more my style!!! Super small, super light stand. Got a feeling I’m gonna end up with some hybrid system where I will most likely sell my hunting saddle and go to cheap climbing harness or a safety harness like your video showed from tacta saddle. That could be used in a hybrid fashion I think this old dog is to set in my ways!!! That’s why beast stand intrigues me much the same as the lwcg .5 and now more so the .75. I like the helo but if price keeps heading where it’s going the options on lwcg and beast stands I believe are better. A smaller beast stand might be the best option if one comes out.
Hoping to get one this year used a Helo last year can't wait to lose 3-4 more pounds off my setup 👍
I bet you will love it. Best stand I've ever owned
Just tell the complainers that the built-in flexibility of the platform is because the stand is earthquake compliant. You can hunt up to a magnitude 6.0.
Very insightful and helpful review. I hunt the steep and rugged river hills and a stand like this would make life a lot easier. Just walking in and out can kick a person's butt and having to drag around heavy equipment only adds to problem. I may have to try out one of these stands for next season.
hahaha. thats a great tag line. earthquake proof flexibility.
So I can’t run in place while I hunting bro lmao I love the energy you put in your video I’m subscribing
🤣🤣🤣 you can but might not see many deer! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing!
🤣😂😂😂 I love it!!!! It’s so true though. What are we doing tap dancing up here?! No. No ones should be moving enough to notice. It’s just like the people shooting bricks and oh crap my arrow broke. You think?!?! Geez 🙄
So glad I found your channel! Binge-watching past week.
🤣🤣 glad you are enjoying the content! I agree 100% it's a tree stand not a tree dance floor!
Really like my beast stand as well...
Such a great stand
U sir are mighty fine dancer!!!
Thanks🤣🤣
08:39 kills me
this is hilarious
"What are you doing on your treestand?"
Dancing! People said they thought the stand had too much flex. I was proving a point that I don't dance like this on a stand when im hunting. But I could..lol
@@SamkoTradBow yeah i'm around 230lbs and people really talk a lot about the flex, but i'm not concerned after a little research as to how they made the stand. I don't understand all the metal talk. I have heard a lot about cast aluminum not sure what this one is but dan sounds like he knew what he was doing I have faith in it!
@@Bearsfan871 yep this is cut from a single sheet of aluminum and designed to flex and bend. Cast being cast can not flex or it snaps.
Have you tried the antler bracket on the lone wolf ? I was wanting to maby put the beast seat and antler bracket on my novix helo
I have not. I put the original antler bracket on my camera arm and modified it. So no idea I'd it would of worked or not
I’m ready to purchase my first beast stand and make it my final stand! They are out of stock at the moment though. Hopefully it won’t be long until they get more in stock.
Won't be long. Theu go in and out of stock regularly. You will love it. I used it 2 and a half years non stop and it was amazing
@@SamkoTradBow good deal I can’t wait!! I will definitely be using this stand every hunt thank you for letting me know. I appreciate your videos!
Great review, as always. I'm just curious, now that you're part time in GA, if you were to deer hunt in GA would you consider using a climber?
Actually I will be in ga fulltime starting in November. We are moving down there! I will not use a climber. I never liked climbers. I will continue to use this beast stand and my lw sticks
Best stand on the market!!
Agree 100
Which is quieter? Novix helo or beast stand. Ive noticed the right wonky tree will make any stand pop. Thats understood.
Both are equally quiet and both are fantastic stands. If I had to split hairs I could say the beast stand is quieter to hang as its lighter and balances so easy that it hanges easier and therefore quieter. But honesty quiet wise both are same.
All stands flex, they are made to flex, if they don’t they break. When checking out flexing with a LW Alpha or XOP stands two other points add to the flexing, one is in the cable fittings bending, the other is the back post.
Yep every stand out there flexes. If it didn't it would stress and break
Hey Jason, finally was able to get in line for a Beast Stand. Should be here next month. Anyway, exactly what is the purpose of the 2nd "versa" button? How would someone use the 2nd strap? can't seem to find any instructions about using the 2nd strap. Appreciate your videos, they are a great help.
You will love the beast stand! The bottom versa and strap is to prevent kickout. That's all it does. It's not weight bearing. You set the stand with the top strap and cam it down good on the tree then add the second strap to make sure the platform can't move on the tree left or right.
@@SamkoTradBow thank you sir, appreciate your help
One more question on the seat. How much stealth strips did you order to do the seat up? Thanks again
Good question that I can answer. I have a bunch of different sizes and shapes of stealth strips and I can remeber what prices or how much it took to cover the seat.
Hey Jason why don’t you recommend setting your stand with the toe hook method? I noticed you said you would never do that etc. I’m just curious I’ve done it before and it seems to work well, but I e also done it how you explained as well. Thanks for the hard work on these videos I appreciate them a lot
The toe hook requires you to put all your weight on the seat on a stand that is not yet stable and is dangerous in my opinion. And it's very hard on the seat post and the rear bracket. Actually broke the bracket off of a gorilla silver back stand doing the tow hook years ago.
What do you have covering your button on the stand strap? I want one lol
A Yak grip. On my channel search yak grip. a video will come up that shows you how to modify them for a buckle cover.
Interesting how much you praise the antler bracket. I know for myself and a ton of members on saddlehunter, the bracket noise issues were a huge problem all season long. As a matter of fact, for myself, it cost me a great opportunity later in the season when I went to stand up and it made a noise. The teeth of the bracket bite too much into the tree, and the intense pressure thats on each antler point in the tree makes the squawks and squeaks when I moved around. It wasn't every tree, but it was a problem that persisted all season. This was both the original bracket and the upgraded one. I took that piece of junk off and replaced it with the LW alpha bracket. Otherwise great review and I felt the same for most everything else.
Also, not sure if you know but dan released the premium version of the seat which I've heard is much more comfortable than the original.
I love love love the antler bracket and it has never made a noise for me. But I also chamfer mine and know how to set a stand solid without doing that toe flip cam thing people do. So in my opinion any problem with the antler bracket is self inflicted. I have hung it almost 100 times in 4 states this year in every kind of tree there is. If it made noise I would not use it.
Yup, no secret the antler bracket needs to be filed.
@@Brian-R all I can yell you is what I do. I chamfer all my stands. Have for 15 years. Chamfer bracket and platform teeth. I do not use the toe grab and tip to set method. Since I have the Chambers I just stomp set it. Has served me well for 15 years. So what you call "definitely " an issue I'm telling you does not effect me. And self inflicted I mean they are hanging it differently than I am. If I can hang it 90 times last year without an issue then obviously how I'm doing it works. Look at 90% of people's set ups today on social. Straps at stupid angles, rope mods with so much slack they are straight up dangerous, etc. People cam setting stands so hard they are bending seat posts. It just goes on and on. The internet, especially forums are not always right or even smart. Or the guy that bent his beast stand platform and said he was just standing on it. Bs!!! In this video look what I'm doing jumping all over it repeatedly and nothing! I don't trust 1/10 of the crap I hear on the internet. So all I can tell you us I hunt a whole lot and hang this stand a whole lot and I never once had an issue. If I did I would rectify it immediately or get a different stand. With this beast stand I never worry about noise at all. Just my experience and my opinion. But if it works so good for me I can only surmise any issue others are having is do to not using it like I do. Plain and simple. Cause my way works perfectly.
@@Brian-R also I don't chamfer it to make it quiet. I chamfer all my stands so that I can set them fast and easy and safe. This is simple engineering. Nicking the sharp corner off the bracket and the platform allows the stand to slide and set perfectly with a stomp. Like I demonstrated in this video. Not that knee on the seat toe hook crap I see many people doing that would put so much insane pressure on the strap and seat post that's un called for and frankly in my opion is a dangerous way to set a stand.
Jason, was wondering why don’t you put a strap on the bottom versa button?
Never felt I needed it. Never used the bottom one on any of my lone wolf stands either for the last 25 years. But no doubt it is better than 1 strap!
Good content
Thanks
Would you be able to buy lone wolf sidekick bow holder for the beast stand and work?
Not sure if it would work or not. But if not I'm sure there are others that would
It's the best!
Agree. If it wasn't I would not be using it. I have zero issues paying for an amazing stand with how much I use it. And I feel the beast stand is the best out there.
But Jason lets talk about flex lol! Looks like a great stand glad its held up. Holy Batwing Jason buy once cry once.
Yep love this stand!
I need to sell a couple of my assaults and buy a beast stand and get more mobile
Jason, can you at some point do a video on your method of navigation to a stand in the morning darkness ? I know you do a lot of morning hang and hunt
Thanks keep those great videos coming
Already have a few videos on that subject in my deer hunting tips Playlist. Will do more thos year as well
Thanks Jason, I’m also a left handed longbow shooter. Im not going to saddle hunt and am looking hard at Dans Beast stand . I appreciate your putting out the great content over the years .
@@Brian-R very true. And for the guy that hunts 10 days a year it's most likely not worth it. But when you start hunting 30-40-50 days a year everything about this stand makes life easier and better. Believe it or don't is OK either way. But for me and my hunting well worth it
Great vid Jase
Is there a link to this unit mate.
Cheers Nobby

What can buckle covers are those
Home made from kayak yak grips. I have a video on how to do it. Search yak covers on my channel
Are you going to get rid of the lone wolf sticks and get beast sticks now?
No. My lone wolf sticks are the best sticks ever made in my personal opinion
Hahaha 😆 😂! Love it brother!
Not everyday you get to make a video dancing on a tree stand but sure was fun!
Do the stealth strips repel water? I like the seat idea with the duct tape.
yes the stealth strips are basically water proof as well.
Nice! Thanks . Love the videos keep them coming. I saw your video on the little tack life charger so I bought one and absolutely love it!
@@jameshall421 those things are amazing! Have used it a few times to jump people broke down vehicles
What model lonewolf treestand is this one?
This stand is made by hunting beast gear
Great video as always. Unrelated note what shoes/boots are those?
Keens. Don't know the exact model.
@@SamkoTradBow I found them thank you so much
I like to do kart wheels when I down a booner
Hahaha those are tricky with a harness on.
Where in GA are you at?
I will be moving to south east ga next month
What sticks do you run with this setup? Awesome review!
lone wolf sticks. or now called novix. but same sticks and same company.
@@SamkoTradBowwhy not beast sticks
@BlownOutSphincter too short. I want 3 full size 32 inch sticks and beast doesn't make em. I'm not a fan of mini sticks
Can I use this stand while a rifle or shotgun?
Yes but no way to put a shooting rail on it
Where can I get those cam buckle coozies??
I made them out of yak grips. search yak grip on my channel and I have a few videos on them.
These are an absolute must!!! No more clanging buckles. My lonewolf is dead silent after taking his recommendation.
@@Bobbers_Outdoors yep yak grips are amazing
Jason look at the new Dji Mobil 6, you can put it on a tripod and it will track you while your making your UA-cam videos $159😊
Will. Check it out. Just bought a hero 11. Going to use it for videos for faster dynamic vlog stuff and a 3rd angle in stand.
10-4 you like the GoPro 11?
@@bluegrassdroneguy3495 don't know yet. Hav not had a gopro since the gopro4. I have been using dji osmo actions and love them. But the action 2 was a mess and the new osmo action 3 has a heavy weird magnet mount that puts it up to high on a headband mount. So gonna try gopro again
I have the original osmo action and I like it also had the hero 7 black and the audio is much better no’s than the hero 4
I fly drones also and some of the people I follow have great reviews on cameras also like Flyt path, Air photography, Sean Ozz, 51 drones, Billy Kyle
anyone have a link for this product?

I welded your stand together
You nailed it! Well done. The welds are fantastic!
Lmmfao! Good shit jason!!!!!!! I agree bro! Wtf are they doing up in they stands?????? Scared of flex is wt they are
🤣🤣🤣 agree its a tree stand not a tree dance studio
What's the name of stand or link to buy stand?
Huntingbeastgear.com. the stand is made by hunting beast gear
Well they all sold out?
@@gaelewis6623 they sell out and come back in stock a week or so later. They ate basically made in batches weekly
I’m never giving 600 for a hang on stand or 200 for one. I use 50 dollar stands and really like them. They got y’all fooled or just like to throw your money away. I like your videos and keep up the good work.
Heck even the 50 dollar stands are now 100 and in 5 years will be 600🤣🤣
@@SamkoTradBow I get my lock on stand made at a fab shop here in my town. Just pick up 4 stands for 200 and made the way I like them. Yes they are 14 pounds but I hunt out of them like one that is 6 pounds. Never had any problems killing a big buck and five doe’s for years.
Bud Brown….it’s for mobile hunters! No one is buying 4 of these set ups, this is for mobile, moving, chasing, move 25 yards or move 50 miles in the same day hunting quickly and efficiently as well as covering massive amounts of ground on the fly. HB tactics, you seldom hunt the same tree twice in one season style hunting. On the very rare occasion it’s left overnight to go back in the morning, thennnn, move again. I have 43 $50 stands and they all go on private places and most get moved after 2 sits, even if it’s only 10-20 yards. Good luck sir! 😉
Can you put a bat wing on a lone wolf?
Lone wolf already had a bat wing that works great
Ok thanks
Did you learn how to dance like that at one of your recent weddings !!
🤣🤣 I'm gonna make a course in tree stand dancing! Will be available soon
Yea but is it light ?
I've heard they are top quality..but I personally can not spend that much on a tree stand..the only problem I have is,You said Naked!!!! Did you really have to paint that picture?? THANKS Bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your welcome for the image now stuck in your head.. lol
It’s got to much flex…. 🤣 had too jk nice vid :)
🤣🤣 glad ypu enjoyed it
“I’m a big 190lbs” me sitting here at 6’2” 290lbs 🙄🙄🙄

🤣🤣 I ment big for my short 5-6" size
Even when you jumped on it, it was so quiet.
Its an amazing stand!

I did not delete anything. Should be there try refreshing
I dont see it. Not sure what you sent back. U want to sell some more asaullt 2?@@SamkoTradBow
I dont see it now either. Did you maybe delete it by accident. If so repost it. But I didn't delete it. Was a good comment and helps others make decisions. I would not of deleted it.
@@samuelbarlowe2460 my reply was that I can only talk about how the stand is for me personally. And I love it. Hanging almost 100 stand a year it has made life easier for me. Its been the best stand I've ever owned st any price and I straight up love everything about it.
I'm not selling anymore assault stands as I only have 2 left now and it's such an amazing stand as well. Not a fan of the novix ones so keeping my assaults as back up stands and for friends to use etc.
@@SamkoTradBow ok, thanks for the reply, strange its gone. Oh well life it too short to wonder why things happens haha
I think the stand is decent for anyone under 200lbs but when you are heavier the flex is too much. I believe over time it will bend and has for some guys already. Really should be a 200lb max capacity stand. The L bracket under the seat will bend if you have too much weight as well, again is already happening to people. Decent review but I think your assessment is a hair biased and your only 190lbs. There are far better options for less money
All i can reference is how the stand is for me. I LOVE this stand. And for me There is no better stand at any price. If there was I would be using it. I hang about 100 stands a season. every little detail matters to me. This stand checks all those boxes better than any stand out there. I LOVE IT! So for me I highly disagree with your statement that there are "far better stands for less money" statement. In my opinion (again as someone who hangs more stands in a season than most people will in 5 seasons) this stand is as good as it gets in any price range.
Jason, the lwcg stands are better. Can do everything this stand does, plus more. Care to talk about it? I only believe this based on my experiences and capabilities of both stands.
I’m 235 and I havnt had a issue, I stand on the set my harness tether aswell. Idk how tf people bend that thing by sitting on it
How heavy do you think Dan Infalt is? the stand works great for him
Lmmfao 🤣
I have mad dance skills.
There's a difference between plastic and elastic deformation. Period. End of story.
