That's an awesome set man. As far as the price, I'm not sure yet. I THINK they sold somewhere between $8-$10 a step but not 100% sure. This is only what I have been told.

I have some used ones coming and I will decide whether to get more once I have had a chance to play with them a little. I may have a bunch of climbing sticks for sale soon. lol

They don't weigh much less, but the packability seems great.

Except for when I use my climber the Stepp Ladder is all I use. I tried the Lone Wolf steps but I couldn't get used to them, seemed like I needed another hand to get them hung,and I had to keep climbing down to get another section. With the Stepp Ladder I can put the steps on as I go up the tree and carrying the stand on my back,once I'm up I'm up. Traded my Lone Wolf ones for more Stepps. Plus, Jim is a great guy.

I have two sets, just need to get a lock on stand that will not cost me an arm and a leg for shipping all the way to Guam. May just get a Guidos web and be done with it,LOL, These steps are some of the best I have seen, seem to be very solid and safe.

Just got an e-mail from Jim, he does have "some" and they are $99 for 12 steps and the bag PLUS shipping which varies depending on where you are.

You have to sign a disclaimer before he will sell them to you.

I have an idea on how to secure them (except for the bottom 4) with chains for semi-permanent installations so the squirrels won't chew throgh the ropes. I think I will like it.

Thanks Boswell for that info.

awbowman,

That price is about $20 less than what I paid for my set of 12 8 or 10 years ago.

As for the squirrels, I don't think you need to worry about that. I've never had a problem.

Do you plan to leave them out for months or weeks at a time?

Don't plan to leave them out at all if I can't rig them with chains. I have had friends fall from loc-ons where the squirrel had chewed on the straps. Scares the crap out of me.
