At 18-20” per step, I have several setups where I use 20 bolts (including the top ring)
20 steps at 1.5lbs a piece would be a 30lb solution for me....

I'm only using it as a top ring with 4-5 steps so I wasn't all that concerned about the weight. I cut them out of 1.5" aluminum so they would be comfortable on my feet. I could easily make them out of 1" and take bulk out of them from the gusset and they would be pretty damn light.
Update made some changes... cut the weight down to .3 lbs
I think the way to get cost down is extrusion. Upfront tooling is gonna be the cost, then just cut them off like slicing bread. I had cranford rope steps milled to accept a strap/boat buckle. They are awesome.....but not as awesome as a platform. I abandoned any step on a strap ideas after the first hunt on a platform.
You could definitely use a moveable aider with those puppies!

How much would cost be on something like this? I'd take that over WE steps or stick any day

Too much! Trying to work on it so it’s reasonable. My target is like $150 for a set

I work for a new hunting blind company called Raptor Blinds and we spray our all aluminum blinds with bed liner to deaden the sound that would probably be a good thing to try with these steps!
Good call on the bed liner! Makes almost no sound if they tap together.
I do like how those are wider than the ameristeps. I think it would definitely help with foot pressure.
I couldn't tell if the weight was per step, or per the ring. But I would assume per step. If they're 1.5 pounds each, that is a lot of weight! Now, if they're preset, it really doesn't matter.
