You may have learned this by now but after you attach the first strap on the stand, pick up the platform(towards the seat) which will allow the stand to settle and tighten the strap. Then push the platform back down and it will lock very tight to the tree. Then put the second strap on. There are several videos that show the technique.. I am 6' 8" 300lbs so I like my lone wolf as tight and secure as I can get it..lol... good luck!!
Nice quick setup. Instead of hauling your stick, try adding a paracord loop on either side of your harness. About a 12 inch length of cord should give you a loop that you can just drop the bracket on your stick into. It will hang freely away from you, not fall out, and not bump stuff and make noise, at least not like a spinning stick on a string can. Experiment with loop size for your particular sticks. Then all you need is one haul rope for your bow. Works well for me. Also, the one thing I didn't like about you harness setup is that you need to disconnect from the tree at times. I like a lineman's belt and separate tether for this reason. Not that I didn't climb 100's of trees with no harness at all in my younger, dumber days. But those treestand fall victim photos on social media are nasty.
Spittin some truth right there at some point these people planting food plots and habitat changes you may as well by the deer too probably wouldn't have a clue how to actually hunt deer
Thanks Travis. Very Helpful and very well presented!
Wrap your sticks and stand with hockey tape to quiet them
No metal against metal. Like rock climbing harness. Like a tree saddle
Keep your stand strap on your stand not your pocket. If you drop it you have to climb down. And cam your stand
Need to cam lock your stand that thing was flopping around big time. Also be careful running a strap overs vine or limb. That could cause a failure

try a linesman belt with a ropeman one , I use a RC harness also similar to yours and it is so easy to use

Thanks for the advice. All good stuff. I am going to work on eliminating trips up and down.
Always cam your stand in place
I like a regular harness better I have a belt like that and it is always in the way kind of a pain in the butt but everyone is different.

Nothing worse than foilage 😂.
Get rid of those garbage lonewolf and get muddy aerolight stick way better and steps on both side easier to set up
Cornfed E85 check out the xop climbing sticks
They all follow lone wolf's lead lol
Cornfed E85 if you are in somewhat decent shape you really shouldn’t need steps on both sides.. you go up, then you go down LoL
What are you nuts 2.5lbs is way better than 3 lbs .remember its about be mobile an light ,quite, "dog will hunt" !
