So we've been getting absolutely spoilt lately with all the new goodies coming to market. I know folks' wallets are pretty light right now thanks to Tethrd, but...
Guys that like using a ring of steps are not getting any of that sweet new toy action. We're still scrounging discontinued products on the classifieds. Ameristeps work very well for our purposes, and there's some other, harder to find alternatives that some say work even better IF you can find them. But none of them are currently on the market.
This sucks.
The idea of a new step has been kicked around a bit on some different threads. I've talked with @DanO a bit, and he mentioned that he had a buddy that might be able to solve our problem. This is the same buddy that's helping bring us double steps for lone wolf steps.
There's a thing out there called a Bear Claw Tree Step. Check it out:

Pretty cool, right?
We're trying to make that available in a strap on version. Either have dano's compadre do it, or sweet-talk bear claw into making a new product.
We want to use this thread to gauge interest. Tell your mama, tell your pa, tell anybody and everybody. Numbers help reduce production costs if we do it ourselves, and they help make decisions easier for business owners.
I can't really tell you a timeframe, or what a finished product would cost. I can say that I am VERY interested in making this happen, and all I personally want out of it is the chance to spend some money on a good product.
Let us all know if you'd be interested in a new tree step, and what you'd like to see if the dream becomes a reality. Maybe if we can get enough posts on here, somebody can make something happen.
