    EZ Kut Drill or Treehopper Cordless Drill Bit, anyone using these?

    I use one of the step tools and have no problem with getting tree steps in but it all comes down to what you prefer. Some hunters prefer climbing sticks,some use spikes.I guess i should have said i didn't prefer the lag bolt and my drill isn't that great so i don't use them any more.

    My carabiners are shiny and made of metal...

    I had a couple old camo shirts that had stretch band cuffs on the sleeves but any thing that will stretch around it and cut metal shine would work.I still have the green ones that came with tree saddle and the web came with the black bands that you pull over ounce you are set in tree.

    *****sold***** guido's web large

    That's a great price but if you don't mind me asking,why didn't you like it? I have one and you don't have as much movement for the shot as the tree saddle but it is much more comfortable for longer sits then the tree saddle but just my opinion.

    XOP Platform kits?

    It looks as if lone wolf and XOP are almost carbon copies but their is a price difference and I have to wonder if the XOP parts are as strong as lone wolf or are you paying for the name lone wolf? I have read posts where members have used lone wolf parts and others have used XOP parts to build...

    XOP Platform kits?

    I am also trying to get one of these kits also.I am new to the site but I have hunted with a tree saddle for awhile and now have a web saddle.My whole problem has been trying to find or make a safe foot platform and this looks like a well thought out fix to the problem.
