i like my screw in steps... i tired the ladder sticks... if it isnt a fairly strait tree the ladder sticks can be kinda hard to set up...
Agreed. I like a combination of all types of stands so I can meet any need. There are some trees the ladder sticks would be MORE dangerous.
Another vote for whatever fits the the specific tree/set-up best. I really hate screwing in those steps, but they have their uses. I got a setof the
strap on steps,
Ameristep® Strap-On Tree Steps
and they work great and are much easier to use but you pay for the convenience. They are listed now as 3 packs for $21.99 where as you can get 12 screw ins for like $35.00. I got my strapped stepslast year on sale and I got 9 of them for $15.99 x 3. So they were still almost $50 bucks but IMO well worth it considering I wasn't screwing in steps.
