I also bought a Molle backpack straps, kidney belt (not pictured), and a back frame. I would use 5/16" diameter rope just so you don't have to wrap as much as I did, but like I said, it's what I had laying around. It also helps keep your hands from getting cold while putting the stand up/taking it down. Then I used some rope that I had laying around and wrapped it around the front of my alpha stand to eliminate the metal to metal contact when the seat gets folded against the platform of the stand. The tubing is shrunk just enough to where it stays put, but not too tight to where the buckle doesn't stay closed. Then I "borrowed" some polyolefin tubing from work and heat shrunk it around the metal buckles to deaden the metal noise of those. The reason I used the cloth instead of the actual tape is I figured that the cloth has more of a cushion to it, to absorb the metal klanky sound when metal and metal hit. I bought some camo cloth tape and wrapped each one of the sticks in that. However, with the Lone Wolf Custom Gear 0.5 Public Land Stand makes it as light, easy, and enjoyable as possible.Here are some things I did to my Lone Wolf stand and sticks. It takes a lot of endurance, time, and effort to set up and take down a tree stand every time you want to go hunting. I also want to mention that mobile hunting is not for every whitetail deer hunter. It is kind of like you get to take a bit more control over your hunting experience. This is because as the time of the year changes, hunting pressure increases, and deer movement changes, the location of where you hunt for the best chances of success will also change.Īs someone just getting into mobile hunting, I would say that this strategy is a great way to always be switching locations and trying to hunt the deer down rather than hope that the deer will walk under your stand. There has been a major in the whitetail industry to use of a mobile hunting strategy. Why a Hunter Needs the Lone Wolf Custom Gear 0.5 Public Land Stand This feature allows you to not be limited to specific types of trees that you can hunt from with the 0.5 Public Land stand. Lastly, I enjoyed the ability to strap this stand to any tree that is bigger than my arm (I am a skinny person). This makes for extremely easy movement and quick set-up and take-down times. You can also use the straps to hold your climbing sticks to your Lone Wolf Custom Gear 0.5 Public Land stand. This reduces noise when setting up and taking down your tree stand. Third, the straps of the Public Land 0.5 stand are not ratcheted straps. When you have a heavier pack, it is harder to carry all that gear along with a tree stand. I found that this feature was best used when you have a lighter pack. Second, the backpack hook is a unique feature that will allow you to hook your backpack to the stand for easy portability. This will allow you to quickly unhook your gear rope and get to hanging this stand.

I cannot do an in-depth review of the Lone Wolf Custom Gear 0.5 Public Land Stand without mentioning all the unique details that make this mobile hunting set up one of the best on the market.įirst, the most unique feature of this stand is the bow rope hooks that are on the main beam of the tree stand.
