Great comparison! I really like what XOP is doing. They’re really putting their stamp on the mobile hunting market for sure. With that being said I’d personally just spend another $150 for a USA made product. Now if this stand was in the $300-$350 range that would be a little different conversation imo. When you really think about it we blow $150 probably weekly on crap we don’t need. I’d personally prefer to put my $150 towards supporting manufacturing on USA soil. This is just my opinion which doesn’t mean much lol
Respect your opinion. $150 is not alot for some people, but it is for someone only taking home $150 a day. XOP could eliminate the safety harness and cut out dealers to reach the $300 price point on this, but they they also care about supporting their American dealers as well as promoting safety to tree stand users.
@@xopgear I like the product you make and sell. But I got a lone wolf custom gear stand and other products for them and I’m hooked on lwcg... xop is great for all people but I spend every weekend in the woods during season and lwcg hasn’t let me down so o need in changing.
If I still used a stand , American made would get my money. And your correct about blowing the money. People will complain and buy cheaper then waste the money on something useless.
In my opinion, the orginal Lone Wolf Assault II stands are the best stands ever made. I just cant see spending $500 plus all the upgrades to get the conveniences that either of these stands offer. The difference in weight or convenience is not enough for me. I will not see more or kill more big bucks using either of these stands as compared to my Assault II stands. Both are great stands, but are luxury items.
@@GRockBlues this was a great review, and I bought the Coldworld. Even after looking it over thoroughly at home, I decided to hit the tan with Krylon camo paint that I always have on hand. Hopefully in 2 months the paint smell is gone. This stand is a great compromise of size and weight.
Excellent review as always. I would think the big advantage would be when you compare the sticks of the XOP and the LWCG and what the total overall weight would be for each stand with 4 sticks attached. Both would be great options.
I was noticing that there’s more platform leveling in the lwcg stand than the XOP. The XOP looks like it wouldn’t hang on a tree that has a backward lean. I’m not sure how that wasn’t mentioned here. So sure it’s all a system but you need to have versatility in a mobile stand. It looked like when you were on the ground, to get the XOP post straight you had it on the bottom setting, and then for the lwcg stand it was like the second down? Or some where around there.
Well we don't always cover every single aspect in a review. Sometimes we miss some things incidentally. The stand does angle down some at the lowest setting but not as far as the lwcg. But you already know this bec you've ranted about it on Facebook how many times? And honestly I don't care what you think of one stand compared to the other, I tried to give a fact based review and comparison. But I do care that you say "not sure how that wasn't mentioned here" bec I know what you're insinuating and you know that I try to be honest in everything I do. I think you've tried to do a couple videos before so you should have some insight into the difficulty that one may have on top of production quality and so on.
@@AERIALASSAULT1 I didn’t rant about the angle differences, I had seen some things online that had pointed some fingers toward a different UA-camr… and I cheeped in on how he was treated but that’s about it. And I understand that a lot goes into these videos. Espicially the way you edit and post and bring some unique things to your stand. The editing is awesome for sure. But it’s a huge difference. They angle up just about the same (ish) and the lwcg stand angles down over double. About 2.5X of what XOP does. And that’s huge while mobile hunting. I just don’t get why people aren’t showing this in their videos… it’s like they’re scared to put all the hood and all the bad out there. But other than that great video. Would have like to see and hear how your feet sound in the traction. And then I also worry about the seat shelf. If you add weight to it you could flatten your threads from your seat bolt… and there goes your leveling system. And the bolt in the XOP stand is louder. Just some things I seen from afar.
Maybe he didn’t mention it because it’s a worthless point. Many stands have ZERO leveling yet people think they are the best thing ever. You run around on every social media platform and run your motor about how great everything you are using at the time is and critique everything you don’t have. Makes a great name for yourself…..
@AERIALASSAULT1 That dude is a lone wolf fan boy. No matter what it is if it dosent have lone wolf on it then it's worthless. You are right he posts on Facebook non stop and I bet he sleeps spooning his lwcg stand. Probably gives it a birthday party every year..
So I am new to hang on stands. When you get in stand I noticed you raised the platform with your foot, then back down. Do have to do that everything in get in stand or no? Is it a safety thing?
It's referred to as toe hooking a stand. It helps remove the slack from the strap. So you only do this when setting the stand. If you have a permanent set you'll only do it on initial setup. If you are carrying your stand in every morning or evening you'll do it every time you set the stand to Make sure it's properly set and the top bracket doesn't pull from the tree when standing on the platform
Lol that’s a lot of misinformation. Beast stand is far superior to both of these and I do really like the .75 but it’s not in the same league as the beast stand
I've got a few summits and they are definitely comfy but I'd say Millenium has the most comfortable stand in the market. That thing is like A damn recliner. Perfect for an all day rut hunt
I will say with the LWCG making their seatpost go farther down it allows for the campchair function when you put a jhook into that hole at the bottom of the post. Not sure how often people use that feature but I'm sure someone does

@@chadreid1068 They make a great product. No one can argue with all their experience and proven history.

Another great reviews. Thanks Zach!
Awesome job man. As always great honest reviews. Keep it up

Thanks for the comparison
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
Great presentation and great unbiased comparison of those 2 stands.
Thank you kindly!
Great video and we love the hat!
Great video. Awesome to see a new SYSTEM emerge. I’ll still stick with Lwcg. Regret selling my .5.
Good review bud.
Thank you for watching
You cant hardly see the LW, but that light color on the XOP really stands out… definitely need to dull that with some tape or paint.
I agree. And something I wish I had mentioned. The color I'm not a fan of
Thats against the ground as a backdrop...how does it appear up in the tree looking from the ground with the sky and trees as the backdrop?

Again I think they are going to be very close. Even the sticks weigh about the same but the xop sticks function WAY better
I have the coldworld and x2 sticks 15 pounds I did switch to daisy chains vs the cam straps
Great video man

Good Job since I already have the lone wolf .75 I don't have to make a decision between them Thank Heavens. You did good. Darren
Thank you! And agreed! If you have a .75 there is zero reason to buy the cold world!
So I am new to hang on stands. When you get in stand I noticed you raised the platform with your foot, then back down. Do have to do that everything in get in stand or no?
Is it a safety thing?

@AERIALASSAULT1 Much appreciated. Thanks for helping me understand.
You ever try Bofa's stands?

like that xop
Hunting Beast vs LWCG is more Apples to Apples imo
Hunting beast stand has zero traction. Lots of flex. the tree bracket sucks and the price is higher than all the others. Imo it has missed the mark
Lol that’s a lot of misinformation. Beast stand is far superior to both of these and I do really like the .75 but it’s not in the same league as the beast stand
Lmao! $450 on this puts dan out of buisiness!
@@AERIALASSAULT1I agree! With a $700 price 😂
Beast is completely overpriced.
If you sit all day you'll wish you was in a summit!
I've got a few summits and they are definitely comfy but I'd say Millenium has the most comfortable stand in the market. That thing is like A damn recliner. Perfect for an all day rut hunt
My coldword didn't come with the kidney belt, but then again i dont do youtube reviews😂 sure wish it had though
I will say with the LWCG making their seatpost go farther down it allows for the campchair function when you put a jhook into that hole at the bottom of the post. Not sure how often people use that feature but I'm sure someone does
@@chasehaynie879nobody does that
Do you have a LWCG discount code? About to buy some double sticks
Sorry, I do not
