Check out the Summit Buck Steps, four pieces which pack together gets you up to 16-17 feet. Quick to set up, quiet. the best thing about them is that you can put both feet on the same level, not one foot higher than the other causing fatigue. Sell for less than 90.00. The steps come with a bag to carry the straps and buckles noiselessly. My partner and I used the steps to set pine branches into them creating additional cover.
