Any opinions on the more efficient way to climb? Im looking into these 2 options.
Hand drilling is only easy if you have 2 good shoulders.If it's legal to drill, bolts are the way to go.
Did you ever use the squirrels steps to climb??? CuriousIf it's legal to drill, bolts are the way to go.

Well I better compare squirrel steps to one sticking if Nutter uses em. SRT is great except getting that rope in the tree.I did/do. Only if I have to though.
Squirrel steps are a great ring of steps... Costly but great.Bolts, I've used bolts for years. Since treehopper came out with the mini folding drill it's made climbing with bolts as a run and gun method even better, but I have this past season starting using squirrel steps as my platform, awesome combination.
I use SS because I mainly hunt public land. If I hunted all private I would use bolts using steel for presets and a hand drill and carbon bolts for run and gun.
