Bit the bullet this year. Purchased 2 sets ,20', climbing sticks for our portables. They are great!!!

My other half wonders why he didn't use/try them years ago!

He set out for the woods, by himself, Sunday afternoon, while I headed out to our pro-shop for minor adjustments on my bow. Not even 15 minutes into my drive he was hitting me up on the 2-way to let me know he was up in the tree hanging the stand already!! Standing up I will be over 25 ft.

So far so good this year!! Never using a screw in step again.
