RE: Tree stand steps
I could write VOLUMES about how great Cranford's tree steps are... instead, run a search with my user name and the word "Cranford"...
Simply put, it's the only name you need to remember in screw-in steps.

I've since been using ones made by Game Tracker, which are made in the USA, and are the Rod type of treesteps, which I prefer to folding steps.
But I read somewhere that GameTracker sold out to Gorilla I believe???
The biggest thing to remember is to get steps that have a "long tappered screw"!!! They are the ones that go into tree's the easiest!! Many steps have a screw the size of your little finger and are very Blunt, making installation a "fit of the fittest" at best, and the Ameristep brand are the worst offenders!! To get up to a distance of approx. 18-20 feet, your going to need at least 15-18 steps. Remember not to install them too far apart, as it makes climbing up the tree a real leg stretcher for sure!!
Also remember to climb up past your stand so you can step over onto it, hence the need to carry enough steps for safety!! The absolute item to be using when srewing or hanging astand is a climbing belt!!This is with out a doubt to best way to get the job done, safely!!
