New and improved for 2012 with Bolted-on Steps for your added safety and security. Ratchet Straps create a totally secure fit to the tree. Unlike screw-in steps that can cause a lot of grunting and sweating (and cursing) as you get started into place, the OL’MAN Surefoot Stick Ladder assembles with minimum of effort. Each section slides right together and locks tight with cable pins. Strong 1' nylon ratchet straps secure each section of the ladder to the trunk. And locking pins on each buckle provide an added measure of safety. Compared to hunting products that promise the sun, the moon, and the stars, the Sure Foot Stick Ladder simply does what its name implies. It' spacious standoffs and angled steps provide the sure-footing you need to safely get up and down out of your treestand. What could be easier?
