Been away for awhile due to family and hunting but just saw the squirrel steps that can be used for ros. How do they compare to the other ros options. I am really interested in these due to how packable they are.

Squirrel steps

Also, how many steps do you prefer for a ros. I usually hunt trees on the larger side if that matters
Yep. To my knowledge there's only 3 folks that have used them so far. I'm one of the lucky ducks. Standing on them now.
I just found my first 3 scrapes of the year today, and they were still damp and dank, so I'm a bit tied up. But I plan to do a video soonish with my thoughts on them compared to wild edge steps, ameristeps, and the gen1 predator.
I did a pretty long-winded write-up on the prototypes I was generously given on the "Calling All Ameristep Users" thread. Short story is they were designed to be the optimum ROS system, and I think @DanO nailed it. I dig'em.
I use 5 of them on a 7ft strap. I think they are better than ameristeps, which I've owned.

I have them, I really like them. There packibility Is awesome and they get pretty solid. I noticed they have a little bit of a squish when you push on them but they don’t slide or anything. So far I love mine!
Typically backorders are produced the next day and sent out so it doesn't take long. Working with a machinist who is a good friend of mine. I say typically because there has been a death in his family, on Christmas no less. I'll be talking with him in a few minutes so I'll get more information on timing.
Backordered SquirrelSteps will likely ship next Monday or Wednesday at the latest since Tuesday is a holiday.
Ordering some today to go along with a platform set up. Can't wait to get them in.
just received my dual steps for LW sticks. They look awesome and can't wait to paint them and install.

I’ve got 4 and the strap. Honestly, I only practiced with them for about 15-20 minutes . I really like them. They roll up tightly and fit in side pouch.
I hope this doesn’t cause any trouble, but how do the squirrel steps compare to Bullman steps? Im new to saddle hunting and ready to purchase some steps to make an ROS. I want to get the right stuff, so i don’t mind paying more if it’s worth it. Thanks!
Can the squirrel steps be used for climbing by substituting squirrel steps for bullmans and use bullmans strap??
