RE: CLIMBIBNG STICK SUGGESTIONS ANYONE ?
I have the Gorilla climbing sticks they are light 9lb for the 3 piece.
They are easy to put up and take down.The foot pegs can be swung to either side of the sticks.
Each is 4 foot long and if spaced you can get up to 16 ft up the tree.
They do have optional pieces you can buy.
I just strap them to my stand to carry in and out.

I bought a cheap ($40) set from Dicks Sporting Goods. Cabelas sells a very similar model. I think Hunters View made them. They worked very well for the most part. I wound up selling them along with a treestand I didn't care for though.
One thing I didn't like about them was that the footpegs were staggered. ie: you could only use the left foot or the right foot per step. I think I would prefer the kind that have pegs on each side allowing you to use either foot. The reason: if I wanted to pause while climbing, I had to rest on only one foot.
The only other thing I didn't like was: the strap system holding the unit to the trees was just slightly cumbersome to use.

As you know, there are many types of climbing sticks out there. One of our hottest models, and with safety foremost in mind is Summit's Swifttree Pole Climber http://www.treestand.com/Merchant2/m..._Code=CS<br />
The enclosed rungs prevent your foot from slipping sideways if wet or slippery.

My set up is similar to Ausi-Guy's, but mine are LoneWolf sticks. Work well, would suggest you have the second line for using your harness like a lineman's belt, then the first line goes on top for when you are in your stand. The lineman's belt allows you to do stuff with your hands when you get up there.
