Lone Wolf hand climber

Has anybody used the hand climber with another base? I'm thinking of getting one to use with my loggy base.

I have one and have used it with a couple different stands including the byou. No worries.

I haven't either but thinking of doing the same thing.  I just can't find them used anywhere and the new ones aren't cheap.

You can buy the top half directly from LW for about $109.  Looked into it myself a few weeks ago.

I own a loggy and a lone wolf.  Should work fine.  

Funny though - I never thought of using them together.  Great idea.  I love the old loggy base a lot, but I really dislike the loggy hand climber.  So my loggy has collected dust since the lone wolf came along.

I gonna try it this weekend.

I've considered the same. I use a loggie lite, and I love it. I use it "old school" just hug the tree.  Works fine, and I like the light weight, however I think the hand climber would be very handy for wet weather (no fun hugging a wet tree), and for multi-day hunts, when hugging the tree twice a day can start to take its toll after about the third day.

I've used my Summit hand climber with a Lone Wolf base. I can climb easier with that hand climber and the seat is much more comfortable.

I used it this weekend and must say it's great! It's made packing the stand so much lighter and quieter.As far as climbing it's like using the loggy climber but just a little shorter.

I used to pack my hand climber in my duffel when I hunted North Dakota.  I like that seat the best for my longbow with no wire in the way.  I'd use whatever base was available out there.  Course I use my entire lone wolf at home...Doc

Before I found my LW base, I used the hand climber top with a Gorilla bottom.  Worked fine, but works better with the LW base for me.

That HC Seat though is awesome all by itself - quick to put on a post or a tree, or just on the ground for a kneel pad if I need it.
