... It saves all the climbing up and down. If I had to do it by myself, 3 would have been my limit... ^^^^ THIS is what kills me ... all the up & down ...

Recurve screw-ins are easy if you use a battery drill to put pilot holes in first. They also make a drill attachment that will spin them in. Now I only use one above my ladder to grab getting on and off my stand. I realized that if you slip on a wet one you can get stabbed falling on one. Just too dangerous. It's insane to hang Loc-ons without a lineman's belt. One thing I'll do to stop the up and down when putting stands up is carry a 50' rope. I'm putting the ladder up. I tie one end to my belt. Then every 6 -10" I tied the next thing I'll need to the rope. the last thing is the loc-on. I just pull them up when I need them. One trip up. My racket straps are in a small pack on my back.

I'm going back to screw in steps on all of my lock ons this year. Way easier and safer to me than sticks. I use to hang them in the mornings before daylight. That first time hanging one in the dark was a learning curve. Now, I don't go up the tree but once. Stand on my back and pull up rope tied to my bow. Super quick and easy.

Perch, yeah the linemans belt is a game changer. It's easy to strap around the tree and tighten it if need be. I used a little jig with a t shaped handle that is really sharp and you can jab it in the tree to get a starter hole this year. Made it much quicker. But yeah, a drill is always the easiest, just more to carry

Screw in's easier than sticks??? Now I know without a doubt that you're weird. Lord almighty not to mention the noise Noise? I never made anymore noise than with any other stand. No special tools were needed, either.

No special tools were needed, either. I believe you. I just make too much noise hanging a lock on to do it the morning I hunt

I believe those things would start in concrete. Lol

That's a good idea, boss; thx for sharing! Anymore, now that I'm divorce, I'm not climbing many trees ... have switched 2 years ago to completely ground hunting, either in a man-made or store-bought blind ...

I believe those things would start in concrete. Lol Lol I agree. I have some of those but also a good many of those blunt Ameristep crap jobs. If I don't have a drill or jig, I will use the EZYClimb steps to start the hole then actually screw in the others. It is really lazy/cheap of me but I haven't just bought more EZYClimb steps.

I will say this, there is nothing compared to the noise I make getting a climber to cooperate with them.

Recurve I bought a holster for my drill at Home Depot. Just another thing that makes it easier. The thing about screw in's is I hated to remove them. Then next year they tree has grown over them . In two years there is very little step left.

In two years there is very little step left. Yeah they are a booger to remove. I have one stand on our property I have hunted for several years. I usually shift the stand a few years to keep it from growing in to the tree but the steps are probably in it for good.
