after dealing with screw in steps this year, i really dont think i will use them anymore lol.

just hanging the stands was a PIA...now i gotta go in, in the dark and screw in my bottom 5 steps(took them out so noone is in my stand etc...i can just see some kids like i used to be playing in the woods, climb my stand, get hurt and its now my fault or something...and to keep the theives kinda honest..

but man...its a pain. with the sticks i could take my bottom portion out with my...small and light enough to bring back every morning etc and be safer and easier to use. those screw in steps are tricky to lay out your first couple times i know both stand i hung have about 100 holes in the trees now lol. just took me a while to get it right. but i know i will like just walking to my stand and climbing in and sitting down. less noise and commotion...no noise of a climber on your back...i will stay awake in them because they arent nearly as comfy as my summit viper...they just might help me see deer
