Default RE: For you tree step users.

Here ya go... Truly is the "best screw in the hunting industry"...

http://www.cranfordmfg.com/treesteps.shtml

I've got about 200 of these puppies, ranging from the EZY climb deluxe to the folding tree step (most compact) to the detachable steps (thank God I was using these the day I had my only stand stolen so far).

Seriously, I just laugh at people who write about having to carry "step starters" into the woods, either made by a step manufacturer who's step is junk (cough * cough* Ameristep * cough . At least the old ones... I have been shown a pic of their newer ones which look more like copies of the Cranfords.) or electric drills or whatever. Cranfords offer TRUE one-handed easy starting, and I can seriously get up almost as high as I can with my four lone wolfs in maybe an extra minute more than it would take me with those. I use my climbing sticks in conjunction with my Alpha Hang-On a lot, but when I want TOTAL quiet and the lightest, most-packable, quietest setup I can get in... I take my Cranfords in with me.

They're only sold in pro shops as far as I know, and they're probably a bit more expensive than the "average" step... but -- trust me -- this is no average step.
