RE: Tree stand safety

If you stay with that stand I would replace those steps. The cost of some stepsvs the chance of getting hurt, get the steps.
Climbers to me seem the way to go, you dont have to have ten stands up just to play the wind right. Hang-ons can go on more trees without cutting so many limbs off just to get up the tree but I stink like the mobility.
