Climbing in the dark.

[4 Beards]

I use Helium sticks and Squirrel steps. I see pictures of people painting something on them to step on them in the dark. What works good? What color?

Glow in the dark or something reflective.

I cut some small pieces of automotive reflective tape and stuck them in the valleys between each of the ridges on top of the steps. Seems to work great. I also put a strip on top of the upper standoff so it’s visible from above as I descend. Honestly more worried about descending then ascending in the dark. Seems to work pretty good so far. I can see the steps quite well with my headlamp either on low white light or on red light but I don’t think the deer will be able to see it.

Here’s what I’m referring to.

Gun Glow paint also works great. This is my first year doing it, and it’s amazing looking down and seeing dots everywhere your feet go. I’m practicing doing everything by feel or at max with a dim read headlamp when needed.

I like the glow paint myself.

I dig that, would make getting a sure foothold much easier
