Interested in buying a new set up for hang-on stand hunting. Let's hear your favorite stand/stick combo. Haven't tried the saddle yet, but might could be convinced to go that route. Thanks for input.

My favorite hang-on treestand set-up is the Screaming Eagle Eaglet treestand that takes the brackets and aluminum rapid rail tree steps. Been using them for 33 years.

Are you hanging a stand for the season or for one day? those would have different answers for me. While the Screaming Eagle is a great stand it's a bit heavy to be putting up and taking down every sit. Good for a spot for the season. I have a Millenium M7 that is only 7 or 8 pounds and I use Rapid Rails with it that I will use for portable hunting. There are many options that are even lighter.
For a lock on I'm leaving for the season I have several more steel stands with stick but I'm not carrying these around.

I carry my Screaming Eagle Eaglet stand in with me and out with me every time, it's 11 pounds. If you look you'll see it's holding up a VW beetle. I'm not a little guy so that's a plus for me.
The full size Screaming Eagle stand I agree is a little heavy to carry in and out every time.

I like the Chippewa Wedge lock and the brackets you can leave in the tree and just take the stand out. Rock solid when it is set.

I do like the looks of the Chippewa Ghost Tree Stand (- 325 lb limit - Wedge-Loc design lightweight hang-on). It's 10 pounds. The Ghost is the smallest of the Chippewa Wedge'Loc stands.

I haven't used a tree stand in years, but the above I still have and will use again. And. As far as I know you can still buy them.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at the Chippewa. I have some steel stands I put up that are in proven locations. I was interested in a light weight setup that I can put up and take down. Thanks again.

Bud we all have dif likes, tastes, ideas. I use climbers as I feel we need to follow the deer movement. Hang on stands force us into a spot where the stand is. Anyhow a saddle would work but idk how old you are. I can’t use a stand with no arm rests too long. I’d also think no back rest wouldn’t be great. I don’t think I’d recommend it if I had any age on me

For a stand that I’ll put up & pull after each sit, I love the Lone Wolf Custom Gear 1.0 stand & their double step sticks

I know the OP only ask about hang-on treestands but I also use climbing treestands. I do carry my hang-on treestands in and out of the woods with me but mostly because in the urban areas I bow hunt if I left them out there, they would get stolen. But the places I set up my hang-on treestands are predetermined and are preprepared. I just climb the tree and slip my Screaming Eagle Eaglet hang-on stand on to the mounting bracket already in the tree and I'm good to go. BUT I also use climbing treestands in case I stumble across a hot area to hunt with a lot of deer and especially buck activity, but I don't have the time to preprepared and hang a mounting bracket or I don't want to disturb the area any more than I have to if I want to bow hunt it right away. For these areas I use one of my climbing treestands, either my Lone Wolf, Loggy Bayou, or my Summit climbing treestands.

I have a Lone Wolf .75 hang on that I use. The mesh seat is very comfortable. I usually have pre-set stands in place on the farm I hunt. But to be mobile this works great and is very light. I got some zip pocket compartments from Amazon and attached them to my front shoulder straps to help carry ect.

I wish someone would remake the Hang On Limit stands again. My setup I use with stand and sticks is about 10 lbs. I always take down my stand after a hunt.

I loved my Loc On stand and screaming eagle, until they was stolen. I bought a chippewa stand years ago and the climbing sticks. The stands are built like a tank, easy to hang and loved using them running and bowing. The price is well worth what you get, as nothing but quality and mine is just as good as ten years ago.
With that said, I little birdy let me know that the owner of the Recon Saddle, may have bought the rights to Loc On and working on getting it perfected before bringing it back out.

Toddster, that's good to hear about possible return of Loc-On stands!
I'm using the JRB Tree Climbing setup, now, to access trees .
Have been using an Anderson tree sling, since 1984. Alone and with a Loc-On stand have taken many deer. Now with the JRB system, even safer when ascending, and rappeling.
Recently, purchased newer saddles, CGM Cobra and ACO Woods, and liking both!

I've been using a Lonewolf hang on with Lonewolf sticks and Lonewolf climber since 2003.
Great stands and I wouldn't ever sell them.
However, 2 years ago I switched to a tree saddle and tree hopper ring of steps.
I absolutely love the saddle, extremely comfortable, lightweight, and easy to use. Also much more safe to use a saddle.
I modified my lonewolf sticks with Eastern Outdoors double steps and it is just so dang easy to climb and setup.
My 17 year old son has been using my lonewolf stands and I'll help him hang them and even though I've hunted with those exact stands 20 years it drives me nuts to hang one now.
Get a saddle...

German Dog, now ditch the sticks, or at least, get some rope for safest asending/rappel!
JRB Tree Climbing!
I've used an Anderson tree sling, since 1984.
Both as a saddle and safety harness, along with my LOC-ON stand.
I used folding screw steps for along time, but the rope climbing setups , of the JRB system, safer, and I can climb the big Walnut trees now.
