with the 2 that I ordered, it gives instructions about dulling those edges
I didn't even see there were directions and threw away the paperwork. What tool and method do they recommend?

I’ll take pics and post when I get home. I think they suggested a file if I remember right. I didn’t do that, I opted to just wrap with camoform tape. Also helps keep the strap a little tighter through the slotI didn't even see there were directions and threw away the paperwork. What tool and method do they recommend?
Haha to be fair I didn’t read them until after I set them up on my platform and strapOkay, so I read the instructions as bigcat suggested and found out that I had unintentionally done something correctly for a change!
Upon closer inspection of the remainder of the dozen steps I received, I was pleased to find that most had already been lightly filed at the upper end of the slot and a few had file marks at the bottom of the slot. It looks like I'll only need to do a little touch-up here and there to dress up any remaining sharp edges. No need to break out the Dremmel for that, especially since it would require a trip to the hardware store for a proper bit.
For those of you who have ordered some and received them, what was turn around time on delivery?

OK, I broke down and ordered some.
Should be easier to pack compared to the treehopper steps and I will save a few oz.
I received mine Saturday and was able to try them. With 8-10 steps I was happy with my “hunting height”
Threading all the straps on the way up the tree took a little time, but not bad. Coming down was much faster. My only complaint, and it has nothing to do with the steps……I noticed it’s a lot more stress on my knees compared to sticks/one sticking. I assume thats because I can use more upper body strength with a stick.

I open my hand flat and use my arm as a cubic measurement.set one at the knee.and then a cubic to theI would NOT do what Bullman advocates for at least his original steps, which is to set two up at a time (belly and chin height) and then take two steps. You save a small amount of time his way, but 1. you can't use your knee as a consistent reference and 2. you are in the same position for too long. I do one step at a time and advance my tether each step (so I keep slack to a minimum) and I'm not with most of my weight on one foot for too long.
It's easy to take people the wrong way via text. That's partly why I write novels on here, because I want my full intent to be known.

By a strange coincidence I also tend to text large volumes of info for the same exact reason as text messaging lacks all ability to inflect intent or meaning and leaves to much to often open to interpretation.
My friends complained my text messages were much to long even though they were the equivalent of a few minuets of reading, so I shortened them to the minimum and quickly my meaning and intent was misunderstood as to be less than positive.
