Climber cables

[Big Indian]

Question for all of you using climbers. Have you ever changed the cables on yours? If so, how often? I’ve never changed and was thinking of doing just for safety sake….

Thanks for any/all input

I have not changed mine..I do check to make sure there is no major rust every season. Had my climber 15 years or so

If we are talking Summit that coating wont last three hunts, i just ignore it

I hope you don't have a lone wolf climber,those rubber cables are unavailable until the new company gets their act together.

Just had a quick look and dang it you're right. What's going on with them?

The original company went out of business I think one of the co-founders is trying to start a new one. I think they are working on a new version that will use the same rubber straps as the old stands. But that has been going on for over a year...

I thought lone wolf sold out to another company, then started another one called "lone wolf customs"?

Either way, I'll never buy anything from Lone Wolf Customs again. They build sub par non durable products and do not honor any kind of warranty but sell their items at a premium price.

I never bought anything from them,but I know the stuff is not cheap at all..I am not sure if that is the same company that just came out with a new super lightweight hang on that retails for well over $800.

Possibly, the stand and 4 sticks I bought cost me a little over a thousand lol.
