In my opinion the lone wolf sticks are the best. The gorrillas are heavier, bulkier and the way they connect to the tree is a pain in the butt. The muddy sticks are too short for my liking. 20 inches versus 32 inches. You would need 6.4 Muddy sticks to reach the same height as 4 LW sticks. Plus 4 LW sticks weighs 10lbs and 6 Muddy sticks weighs 15lbs. The Muddy sticks are very nice but you couldn't convince me to buy them. Spend the money, it is the only set you will ever need.
