Loc on stands

Who still uses or has some old loc on stands. Someone has recently walked away with my limit and you just can't find em anymore.

I use a loc on windwalker. Marc at treehopper is making the windwalker again. He's also making the pack that allows the stand to slide out of the bottom of the pack.

I still have one I bought around 1990. I'm not sure what model. I haven't used it in a few years but I haven't been climbing except in my backyard ladder stands. When I bought it I was using strap on steps to climb but those were stolen.

Last few years I just haven't felt like carrying all that stuff out into the woods like I used to.

I have an old Windwalker and a treehopper pack. Hard to beat. He is going to start building the Limit again. You might check with him.

My parents gifted me LEM I think Christmas 1990. It is a chain on with fold out canvas seat,plywood floor painted green and hung by chain. Those were different times for certain. Tie a rope to the stand put the other end under my belt then climb a tree. Pull the stand up hold on with legs or.sit on a branch and hang the stand. '96-'97 my wife gifted me an aluminum folding stick ladder. Crazy.I have intent to hang it this season for one of the adult grandkids. I retreated to a Waldrop Pack Seat for my hunts 2023. I'm 77 been at this since 1965 and still love it.

I have an aluminum loc on Spirit.I like it!Its light at 10 pounds.But solid.A little longer when packed in than other stands is my only complaint.

I have the aluminum Lok on, a plastic and wood one . I mostly used the aluminum its light and easy to put up I shot a lot of animals with it but I haven't used any of my stands in years . I've been hunting off the ground, to old to climb trees anymore. The aluminum was a great stand quiet and comfortable I bought mine from LL Bean they were about 40$ less than elsewhere at the time, probably in the 80s.The plastic ones had some squeaks that had to be taken out .

Used the spirit with screw in steps. After that a climber. Never looked back from the climber. 66 still climbing. 40+ years. Loc on in the garage.

I had two Spirits, that I loved, both ended up getting stolen. One my dumb butt left it in woods one night, the other from back of my truck. Still have a LEM, in attic. I chatted with Marc year or so ago with a concept for making the old Spirit better. Glad to see he is moving forward, though not on website yet. I saddle hunt now, but in my opinion, I think the Loc On, stands was the best for running and gunning.

I would not get the plastic platform one.All allumium

Lawelch · October 02, 2025, 04:31:36 PM

I'm trying to find a limit with no luck at all. I liked the old ones with bars on the platform not expanded metal.

I have one, somewhere. Truly the lightest stand. I just cant stay comfortable in one.
Nobody has beat them on lightness though.
