- Had the awesome opportunity to review Eastern Woods Outdoors’ own brand new platform, the UP, or the Ultimate Platform. Weighing in at 32oz, it is an awesome addition to the saddle hunting community options!
Watch our video to get an in-depth and up close look at this new platform attached to a 12” EWO Ultimate One Stick. We go over measurements, weight, deployment on the tree, climbing with it, and overall thoughts of its feel and usability.
The Ultimate Platform is $119.99 and is available at this link: Https://doublesteps.co...
There will be a link on EWO’s website that will allow customers who have a current Ultimate One Stick ordered to switch their top platform from the Scout to the U.P. Up charge will be $29.99.
You up the game for game for everybody else with the drone angle loved it a lot keep up the good work big Fan
Appreciate that sir! Yup, the drone will always be the 2nd POV angle on all climbs from here on out!
Great energy Bobby great video keep up the good work. Drone was awesome.
Appreciate that sir! Glad the drone gave it a little extra “umph!” I’ll be using that and head POV (with better placement angle to capture more than this one did. Sorry about that) on all my climbing videos from here on out. I thought it gave a different perspective of going up the tree. Thanks for watching!
This was perfect timing. Stimulus is in so I was going to be buying a one stick. So glad they made an upgrade for the standing platform.
Yes sir, it’s for sure a sweet one stick setup!
Liked that you put it on a pine tree. Everybody always puts them on other types of trees but never pines which is what i mainly have to hunt here in Florida. Good job.
Thanks sir! Appreciate ya watching the video!
Yes definitely like that style look real usable
It’s truly an awesome piece of equipment!
Nice review. Drone on the climb has been the best climb footage yet. Watching that bottom standoff flex while you were jumping on it was kinda scary. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out! And yeah I wanted to add in a little “razzle dazzle” so we busted out the drone lol but I thought it gave a better POV of the one stick climb. It’s an awesome platform. I think the standoff was more or less sliding down the tree when I first jump and come down.
I noticed that as well, Cooter.
Great video! I will be checking this out.
@@moorehuntin8732 thanks for checking it out! And yeah I highly doubt anyone will usually just be jumping up and down as hard as I was just because lol but there was some movement in it for sure! It’s a super sweet setup tho!
Yes that was great footage. Thank you for your reviews
Appreciate the words sir!
I have the big bob from ooal. Gotta support my oklahoma boys! Great video brother
Matt is awesome!! Thanks sir!
Good review, I want one and will eventually get one, the $328 tag is just hard to swallow
They truly are the top of line product sir. Awesome products. Thanks for checking it out!
I enjoy your videos man. Glad you reviewed this stick with the UP. I’ve been in the market for a few months for the perfect one stick. I’ll be converting this summer. Glad I watched this one. I think I’ve made my decision. Thanks again! Great video.
Appreciate the words and you checking out the videos sir! It for sure is a super solid option! Most likely the one I’ll be going with this season
Another great video man. Nothing but honesty. You in Mt. P?
Yep. I’m here in MP
Another great video 👌. Greetings from Ann Arbor, MI.
Thanks for checking it out sir! And greetings back from Mount Pleasant sir! 👊🏽
Thanks for the video! You answered the question I had before I asked it, 12” or 15”. Guess I’ll get the 15” cause I hate hitting my shins.
Haha! ✊🏽 after the first time, it was the last time lol it honestly isn’t bad having the 12”.
I know it’s been 3 years since you posted this video but, I’m considering purchasing one this week & I’m curious how you feel about it after all this time & also which size 12” or 15” is most popular???
Quick question sir, but first nice video and lots of good content. I'm 5'10" and have the 12" ordered. Would you suggest changing to a 15" or not? Trying to balance packability with climbability. Thank you!
Appreciate the words sir! I honestly like the 12” stick I have now, but I guess I wouldn’t say one over the other. I think that personal preference is mainly what will come into play. I’ve had no issue “packing” in my 15” stick at all. So it’ll come down to what you’d prefer honestly. I ended up liking the 12” slightly more now after having it
Nice job, what drone were you using to film this. Thanks for a great review.
DJI mavic air 2 sir. Thanks for checking out the video!
What are the measurements for the platform bolt holes on the stick? I'm wanting a to diy a scout type platform with hopes of adding a UP later. I want the bolt holes to match for later.
Nice review! It’s a nice option. But I don’t see myself throwing away the ultimate one stick. This new stick comes with tradeoffs. The UP has more real estate for up a tree but you gotta pack it too. I’m already thinking the scout is big.
Thanks for checking it out! It definitely comes with less packability options for sure, but I envision this being able to replace me bringing my platform along with my ultimate one stick on longer hunts. I would sometimes get a foot ache on longer hunts. I’ll find out during 🦃 season here in two weeks! Lol
@@ISaddleHunt - I was thinking of bringing 2-4 squirrel steps for augmenting my Maneuverability up a tree for the one stick. I would likely do the same for the UP since it gives you a little extra room on the side but that angle on those tips prolly won’t be as effective as one would think.
@@donovanstockton44 yeah, I’m more of a spinner when it comes to weak side shots so flat foot space is important to me, more so than the winged tips, but they are a nice addition and was nice to place my toes on for ease of maneuverability.
Great video as always brotha! I have the original with the angled platform and like the idea of more real estate at height but hard for me to justify. If it ain't broke why fix it yknow?
Definitely feel that sir!
I couldn't tell in the video if the UP has or does not have a place to have a pull up rope like the regular one stick (either a gear tie or the wire insert). Could you offer an opinion if you like the angle on the UP vs your regular flat ultimate one stick? Also, do you think the UP affects packability a lot?
It has the same pull up rope/wire insert that comes out of the 1” stick tubing like the other ultimate one sticks. I honestly do like the angle on the front of the UP, I’m a lean’r for the most part and it’s nice to have that slight angle to have my arches placed on vs the flat scout. At times, after a few hours I could sometimes get a foot ache. And packability won’t be bad. I usually pack my one sticks on the outside of my “pack” and the stand-offs side are the same distance from the stick for placement when packing in. It for sure isn’t the fold-down-stow-away type of packability, but comes through on just about every other aspect in what we look for in sticks. Unless, something drastic happens, I’ll be hunting with this set up.
Your drone footage is great. Which drone do you have?
I have a DJI mavic air 2. Thanks for the compliment and checking the video out!
Maybe try the Trophyline Wingman if you can get your hands in it before release. Good video!
That would be sweet! I’ll reach out and see if it’s a possibility for sure!
@@ISaddleHunt if it's anything like the Mission or EDP, it'll be a SOLID option.
@@kurtcrowningshield3086 haven’t had a chance at the edp but would like to get my hands on one!
Great video! Thank you. Have you tried the EWO flat platform as well? Do you have a preference and why? Thanks again
Yep, I’ve had em both. I hav a video on here if the flat version as well. I prefer the angled as I mainly lean sir.
@@ISaddleHunt awesome thank you. How about the LP vs the UP I like the idea of it packing smaller but i like the wings for pushing out to the left and right for shots on the backs side. Do you have experience with the LP stand yet?
@@colin-me yep, I’ve had that as well. It’s for sure pretty slick and has its place but I prefer the full sized UP personally.
@@ISaddleHunt awesome thank you again
Awesome review Bobby! I’m debating about taking my platform on my ultimate one stick and changing it to the UP as well as getting rid of my predator xl (just less stuff to carry in and out and set up).
How comfy is it on the feet for long sits in the saddle? Im a sz 10.5 shoe and wanted to know if you had plenty of room? Thanks brother!
To be honest, the longest I’ve been on my UP is about 3hrs and didn’t have any issues with ache. If I was goin in for an all day’r I’d most likely bring my predator and set my one stick on my “weak-side” to help me maneuver.
@@ISaddleHunt Awesome! Thank you for the reply my dude💪🏽
@@Wolf_of_Kurdistan good luck this season!
@@ISaddleHunt Thank you Sir! Same to you!😀
Hey can you demonstrate how you retrieve your tether once you repel down? Im working on something and would like to see a few different techniques
Most definitely. I’ll be sure to add that in on the next video which is going to be a “how to” one stick vid. Will fit perfect in it
I currently have the Scout and I'm considering getting the UP. Is there a significant difference in getting turned around to shoot off the weak side with the UP? It's pretty tough to do it discreetly on the Scout and I was hoping having more foot room would make turning to the weak side easier.
I’ve had the scout on my original EWO one stick and to answer your question, yes the UP has plenty of space to spin your back to the tree. That’s how I prefer to turn my weakside shot into your strong side shot again. The all-flat has slightly more space due to it being flat, but the angled one is great.
