So you guys can get 20ft. with a set of 3 lone wolf climbing sticks? Thats the reason I hadn't got any yet, I just figured they'd only be good for 14 or 15 feet unless you bought the extension.
If you really stretch the distance out you can get almost 20 ft. I put the bottom one up kind of high to begin with and pull myself up on to it. The next one I put so that the lower peg is high enough so that I barely get my foot to it. Same with the next stick. Then, if using my LW stand I put it a couple of feet above the last stick.
Sometimes I will screw in two tree steps at the bottom of the tree before using the sticks and that gains another few feet.
