I may have missed it somewhere in the thread but what is the weight difference between a doublestep and a single lone wolf step?

I’m talking just the step itself.

Look on the doublestep site. If I remember correctly their step is something like 3.6 oz. I don't know what a LW step weighs. Would need someone to weigh one and chime in.

Finally got around to finishing this project. I’m happy with the results. My best attempt to do a First Lite Fusion pattern with sponge camo.

The steps don’t move at all. The tolerance of the machining is impressive.
I didn’t get anodized. These are from one of the first runs of straight DoubleSteps.

Yeah, YMMV but I appreciate the simplicity of the straight steps. If I were making another set, I’d make them up with straight steps again.

Are these steps still available?
Yes, doublesteps.com
I was handed these two steps this morning from my buddy who owns a machine shop. We started with the design from @bowhunter15 and made some minor adjustments. His original thread shows how he made his own 1.5# sticks (https://saddle hunter.com/community/index.php?threads/diy-climbing-stick-1-5lb.3412).
My friend is making these available for us at $10.00 each. I’ll mail them out at cost using flat rate padded envelopes at $7.25. It took longer to get to this point but he is ready to start cranking these out as his machine has free time.
Set of 6 steps = $67.25 TYD
Set of 8 steps = $87.25 TYD
Specs: 3/8” aluminum x 9” long. Center hole is 1/4”. Channel on back to mount to 1” aluminum square stock.
Official weight: 3.5oz each
I’m using XOP brackets which I found out use 5/16” bolts so I’ll drill my steps out to match. If everyone prefers 5/16” we can change it out.
This is an introductory offer subject to change. To start these will only be sold in pairs up to 8 total. We’re too close to the season so want to get them to as many people as possible right away.
Disclaimer - these are sold as "paperweights" with no official weight rating, use at your own risk. I see no reason why these won't support more than 300 # though as they are sturdier than commercially available steps.
10/31/2018 Update: https://doublesteps.com - Please use this site for all new orders, thanks!
