I bought the Ameristep aluminum Rapid Rails last year and I love them. I can climb just about every tree I see. My friends with climbers hate me cause branches are no problem.

If you get stick or rails, here are two tips.

If you hit them with anything hard, metal, etc. they are a little loud. Mine sounded real "tinny". Go get yourself some of that expandable foam insulation in an aerosol can. Spray that inside the square tubing of the stick/rail and it will quiet them down a LOT. If the tubing is long, put a piece of 1/4" flexible hose on the end of the spout and you can start from one end of the stick/rail and pull it out as you are filling it with foam. Let that dry. Now if anything hits the sticks or rails, the sound will be muffled. When using that stuff, wear latex gloves and be careful not to get it all over everything.

Also, get some of those rubber furniture feet. I used 1" feet for my Rapid Rails. Put them on the ends of the square tubing. That will make them a lot quieter when setting them on a tree. This may not be an option for a lot of sticks out there.

Lastly, go find a crazy looking tree next to a well used trail and have fun.
