Treestand Ladders?
Treestand Ladders?
What do you guys like to use to get up your treestand? I'm going to get a little hang on stand but it doesn't have a ladder or anything is there any cheap lightweight tree ladders or would tree step nails be easier?
Thanks

Some states won't let you put nails or screws in a tree. Check the regs. I use screw in steps where I can If I'm useing a lock on. IMO they are safer and you can put them where you want them. What ever you use I'd put it a little higher than your lock on so you step down onto your stand instead of climbing up.

yeah, i have a few other permanent stands that use nails and they are the better option but i'm using this stand to move around where every i need it. so I was thinking a ladder would be a better option...what do you think? i know u can get a bit for a screwdriver to screw in the nails that would be easy but i don't know? thanks for your advice.

What I meant was they make premolded metal steps that you can screw into a tree with your hand. I would never use a nail or a screw for a step. Most sportinggood stores carry all types of ladders you can tie or strap to a tree mostly 3ft secsions totaling 15ft. That would be your best bet.

I have used the Summit Swiftree and the Summit Bucksteps. I really like the swiftree, but the tree has to be pretty much dead straight otherwise it's tough to strap onto the tree.
