What type of ascent device?
 

Hey all,
Im gearing up for next season and need to get some new stands. Im trying to decide what to use for my "semi-permenant" stands. Also, Im trying to be as efficient as possible (dont want too spend much).

Please tell me why you use what you use, and what brand. Thanks!!!

I have 2 Gorilla stands 1 set of climbing sticks and 1 set of stackin sticks.

I will be using Lone Wolf climbing sticks. They weigh 2.5 lbs each and 4 of them should get you high enough, especially early in the season. I will be also carrying some Ameristep screw in steps either for a platform for the tree saddle or to get a little higher if I am only using 3 climbing sticks. Where I go that particular day will determine what gear I am taking (tree stand, tree saddle, # of stcks/steps).

Could you please add, " ALL of the above" to the poll? Then I'll vote.

Well tree step would be the cheapest and easiest to transport, but a pain for obvious reasons and may not be legal depending where you hunt. I have had and used climbing sticks, Rivers Edge for the past two years and like them. They are sturdy and easy to assemble. I did add some vecro pieces on each step for better traction in wet conditions though. I recall that I got them for $36 for the 14' set.

I use climbing sticks from River Edge or is it Hunter's Edge whatever , their somewhat light enough to carry in and easy to put together and strong enough to support my fat butt.

Other, my Lone Wolf climber takes care of "all" my needs.;)
