I use them in areas where there is a higher probability of theft.

I have 2 Limits, I think. Maybe Spirits. I had them for 25 Years and they are my favorite stand.
The older one is shorter in height than the other, and I just replaced the cloth seat with their Super seat. It is a great option. The 2nd one I still have has the cloth seat and I pad the front with pipe insulation around the bar.

I have 4 chain on stands Iv used for 15 years or more. I removed the chain on three of them and use ratchet straps only. I find I use less tree stands as the years go by. If I fall out of my ground blind, only my pride will get hurt.

I got an Eberlestock X2 for hauling stands and sticks on public land and started out with a Lone Wolf assault but found that the Spirit fit in that pack like a glove!!!! Been using Loc on for a long time...got my first one from Uncle Gene in the early 80's!!!!!!!

The Loc On Spirit and Limit are the only ones I have used for 20+ years. Love my limit for getting into an undisturbed place and up the tree quick and quiet. Then, if I don't score, down and out quiet. I don't like to disturb the area too much when I am hunting the big boys. I keep it handy even when I have fixed stands up. It's a killer when I notice fresh sign showing travel where I have no fixed stand in place. I sneak in with my Limit and that's when I usually score on the big one.

Still use my two Loc On Limit stands that I bought 20 something years ago. At 7 lbs apeice, they are nice to carry and rock solid in the tree. Pair them up with a set of those new light weight climbing sticks... pretty sweet combo. Also , the fact you can still buy replacement parts for their stands on their website is great. The two I have are closeing in a quater century old, they are my go to stands every season.

My dad and I used them for years! We both had LEMS. We used them with screw in steps then went to the 3 ladders. I then went to a climber. He used his till his last year when he was 77. Great stands.

I still have 2 Limits that I've had for twenty some years but haven't hunted out of them for a couple years.Had 2 others and a Lem that were stolen years ago and always preferred the Lem.

I have two Lems that I have had for a while. Finally put a new seat on one to replace one the squirrels chewed on.
They are a good lightweight stand that is secure and easy to set up. However as the years go by, they seem to get smaller and smaller feeling to me and I am less comfortable in them.
They are really nice for walking in with and using a set of Bucksteps or similar to set up and hunt right now.
