Summit Bucksteps with Tree Saddle

Summit Bucksteps with Tree Saddle
I've been using a Trophyline Tree Saddle for two years and I love it. I have been using screw on steps which are great for private land. But I'm going to be hunting some public land during the rut, and I want to get way back in there away from everyone else. I'm looking at Summit Bucksteps as a climbing stick.
I think Bucksteps would be better than a Lone Wolf stick because I can use the top step as a platform for the tree saddle. Anybody else use these? Pros and cons?

I use the tree saddle too and just got some ameristep strap on steps. I cut 5 of the steps out of their strap and will use a ratchet strap with them. All I will need to do is strap them around the tree and ratchet the strap in tight. I use the lone wolf climbing sticks too. I have used the top step of the climbing stick as on of my steps when in the saddle but not as a platform.

I do the exact same thing with the Ameristep strap on steps. They work great but it's still a bit time consuming to get up into a tree since you have one strap per step. Sounds like a Lone Wolf might be the way to go.
