if you do go with the steps, get the drill bit to install them, cuz after one or two trees of screwin em in by arm, you are practically dead.
Not if you use Cranford Ezy Climb treesteps. No drill or installer needed!
I use the Cranford steps because my hangons are left up all season on private land, sometimes I move them but they are always up. If you are taking your hangon with you on most hunts or hunting public land then sticks are the way to go.
