I bought these around April, and they have never been on a tree. I was going to use them for public land, but I ended up getting in on a hunting lease where I can use ladder stands, steps, etc., and I don't see myself using these. A new set from ATO is $230, I got them with a Mil discount for $195. I will let the whole set go for $180 TYD. I cannot speak to how they work, or anything, but they are very well made and not heavy at all. I will post pics in the next post.
