Stepps

The more I play with them, the more I like them. Never thought I'd be getting 40 feet with six stepps. I'm gonna pick up some more sets soon so I have plenty of extras

When I bought mine I ordered 8 steps and a bag. Then I figured I should have ordered 10 instead so order 2 more steps and a bag to carry 10 steps. Could have save some money if I ordered 10 from the start . Mom said sometimes that I wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. lol
 
I had 5 I bought many years ago from LLBean. They were sitting rotting in my shed. I brought them back to life.Still has the LL bean label on the bag. I just got 3 more with the xl ropes for the base of any tree. The bag was an 8 bag but had shrunk over time. I re-lubed the zipper, soaked the bag with water so it would stretch and used my leatherman to pull the zipper closed. Works like a charm now. Now if I can get my fingers and brain working together on the knot. I am "knot" going to quit this time...:grimacing:

I'm hoping to use 5 with the aider method
 
I bought 10 yesterday after reading everyone on here. Plus the aider, that video they have sold me. I'm hoping to get 25-30 feet with 7. I got the other 3 in case I like them as a ring of steps. I can see the advantage to climbing with just the one bag of steps. I am going to tape them right away though. I just don't like metal on metal when you get up at 3:30 and sneak through a swamp just to sound like a rattling can going up the tree.

I would order a 10 pack with the bag. That gives you a ton of options with climbing method.

I ordered a set of 12 Stepps and 3 had 8 foot ropes. I am going to order a second wild edge bag because I often just use 4 or 8 of them and then the Stepps I’m not using are loose Stepps in my truck or basement. It would help keep things neat and organized. I’m hoping to be able to put my rappel system in the wild edge bag above the Stepps and just walk in with that.
 
The packability of these stepps is mind blowing. Nothing but a back pack for climbing method and platform with aider

Bingo. That is my biggest appeal. I have a love/hate relationship with sticks. They set nice but even a 20" set is a bit too much when you are pushing through thick cover, sometimes on your hands and knees. As far as mobile, spurs are best solution for stealth, weight, and compact but I have many areas that don't allow them. SRT is awesome, but I generally can't bed hunt with it unless I have paracord preset so it isn't truly mobile. Stepps are quiet, compact, and bedding area friendly. I'm climbing to 40 feet with 6 of them and many other methods get you there in 8-10. In reality, most of us are hunting under 30 feet so adjust accordingly.

I don't about you guys but I practiced today with my steps and 9 got my right at 20 ft with the other 2 to go on by the last one as a platform. 20 ft is high enough for me lol. And that's at my feet I'm 5 ft 11". I put the first one up as high as I can reach one then one at waist level after that one at about every 20"
