Title: Tree Stand ladders
Post by: JJD on September 16, 2013, 05:59:02 PM: Any of you folks use hang on tree stands?
If so what type of ladder system do you use?
Advantages, disadvantages of the different Types?

these are great, I have a couple sets. also I will use screw in spike steps depending where I am and the tree or a combo of the 2.
cant beat the price tho.
the straps they come with suck but its cheap to replace them before hanging.

:yeah:
These are the ones I have and together with the tree stand that I bought I think im only into it all for 80 bucks. You cant beat them for the price. I dont get the feeling like the pegs are going to break while climbing so thats good.

The only downfall I would say is they dont stack well like the lone wolf sticks but thats not worth the $120 price difference to me atleast.

Same style I have for my treestand, Ive set them up a few times and like em. The ones with the X shaped male piece's feel alittle stronger.

Post by: wackum on September 18, 2013, 07:26:07 PM: The sportsmans guide ladder work fine for me on 2 different stands and 1 was well over a mile. There might be lighter setups out there but for the price I don't think you can go wrong. Just my :twocents:
