Tree stand step idea

[BolilloLoco]

Just make sure you use a climbing belt when you start testing.

I have used 10" fairly thick lag bolts for steps, they work great. Drill a pilot hole and put in with a ratchet. Also angled them in slightly, so if your foot slipped, it would slide towards the tree and not off the step.

Must be a good idea, 'cause someone already makes this.

$30 for 3 seams like a reason to try them out.
