Stepp Ladder...best tree climbing system ever made..good for hunting...yezzr 

Not only was Jim Stepp smart enough to design this marvelous invention, he was also smart enough to make Harry carry it during their instructional video.This man deserves two thumbs up.

New to the climber world and put it to use this hunting season. ru-vid.comUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs I felt safe while climbing up and down a tree. It did take some time getting used to climbing and descending the tree. Once I figured it out I was comfortable going in climbing a tree knowing I was going to be up a tree quickly and most importantly quite not scaring every deer out of my area. I am 6’2” and 240 lbs, fit and comfort were great. I bow hunt and found no issues hunting from it. It is a little bulky to carry in and out of the woods vs some of the smaller open front climbers but I thought it was worth the bulk/weight due to ease of climbing (using the rail to sit on) and comfort for long sits.

Thanks for the reply, I just read something that he was not making them anymore. I will get with Jim and talk to him. This is the first time I have heard of them. So I feel his marketing of them might not have been great. I really feel more people would buy them if they knew about them.

Just got my 10 steps...i pitty these texas white tails this year....Jim Stepp is the man...these are the best climbing system iv ever used and iv used them all...

Email the inventor Jim Stepp at jstepp@maine.rr.com I think they are 6 bucks a step but he can fill in the details...thanks

Ordered 10 steps from Jim quick shipping there just like the video.. You can put them where you want, big spacing or little spacing,run them on the back of tree an then then around to your stand entrance. No need to carry a big put together ladder!

Email Jim Stepp the inventor at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can give you all the details...thanks

I love watching old time VHS productions I don't know if you viewers remember the tree lounge chair tree stand I think that's what it was called old man and woman promoting it I just hunt ground blinds now due 2 a ATV Accident but that's 4 putting this up!!

Email the inventor Jim Stepp at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can give you the details...thanks

Email the inventor Jim Stepp at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can hook you up

jstepp@maine.rr.com ...did you try that?

I love janky hunting stuff... professionals use harnesses, specified climbing and decending knots, or equipment and arborist rated rope for a reason...

Boy Jim, that sure looked easy!!

Not likely anyone watching this video would ever forget Harry's name. The instructer must have mentioned it a hundred times .

These are great. Where I hunt putting spikes in a tree is illegal. Also you cannot use a motorized vehicle. So carrying anything gets tedious because you have to carry everything. I have a cheap climber and it's a pain in the butt. However I've sat some cheap hang on stands that were great. Problem is climbing up too it, and keeping people out of it. This system solves both of them without much inconvenience other than tying on 4 steps when you head in, in the mornings.

🇧🇷👍fantástico 🇧🇷👍parabéns 🇧🇷👍maravilhoso GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS and 🇧🇷👍Family 🇧🇷👍

Well how much are they harry?....

Jim should go on shark tank and I think he can get them remade again. I know his sister Sue Stepp Smith and her husband. I know several people that are hunters and we're buy it.

I can make these out of rebar. Thx

Great Vid Jim thanks.

Its not necessarily the loss of the cambium, although bad, but the open wound it will leave... Any opening into the cambium can invite disease or fungal attack. My point being is that if is a tree you like and would want to return to then you will ultimately be shortening its life span and its structural integrity, if you then start using this system on several trees in the area then any infection you are allowing into the trees can become rife. you would not spike up a tree you wanted to keep.

🇧🇷👍 parabéns Congratulations 🇧🇷👍 gratifying 🇧🇷👍

depends on how long your legs are and how many stepps you use...With 12 stepps with my 32 inseem and 6 foot body I can reach 40 plus feet easy..thanks

I love this ladder system and am wondering what kind of lock on tree stand will this work with and how much does this cost?

lol.. whats a VCR ? these guys are funny, like kids. ... are waist belts leagal ne more... other then fall restraint?

Awesome. Make sure to share your results with me later on.

Awesome invention!

Thanks for putting up this video. Do you know the weight per step or per bag of steps?

I contacted the email and received a suspiciously spam "sounding" response. It seemed rather scripted but basically explained that the system isnt commercially available and the original videos date back to 1991. Jim also said it was someone else who had "resurfaced" the videos and created a new interest in the system. He explained that although the full system was no longer available he had components still available. Which he went on to explain that everything except the bag and ropes were

Sorry for posting more, but I saw another video on this and noticed something. When the step is flipped and locked into place I see a open spot between the tree and the round cross bar. Is this big enough that a boot could slip through and get caught leaving me hanging upside down? Just a way to fix this might be a small piece of expansion metal welded across that area but leaving room to tie the rope.

I think Jim could do this video by himself , quicker and with a lot less b.s.

Why are these no longer being made?! Bring them back!

Good tool ever made,,

Interesting product but I prefer a climbing stand, takes me 5 minutes to get 40 feet up and hook up my saftey harness.

I just came across this system only to find that he's right down the road from me. Are there any left?

Double rope technique kinda makes this obsolete but it is a sweet idea

Ira thanks for posting. Jim gets a lot of email requesting information on the stepps...because of this he has certain information that he sends to people that are asking for stepp product info. If your not interested in the stepps thats fine..there are only a few left and then they are gone..but please don't bad mouth Jim...anyone that knows him knows that he is as genuine as it gets and not someone to lie or deceive about anything....thanks David (the guy that posted the videos)

Jim Stepp, Sir, Is this product of yours available in ebay? Would love to place an order.

Would have more fun if Gary had climbed the steps.

I gave a like for this, but my only other concern is when climbing down in the dark is left over rope might catch around the foot. But I think if that is a problem then I could tuck the remainder in back up under the step. As for the cuts in the bottom of the feet that dig into the tree have you tried using blunt ends with rubber feet? I would also like to know if the harness belt comes with it? If not where do i get it? I can see how theses step could really work well with the tree saddle.

Hi Bulldog..the rope that is hanging down from each stepp is a single rope...doe not get in the way...wanted to keep it simple...rubber can rot or tear..I know some guys that bury their stepps when they are not using them during the hunting season...they only have to replace the rope every ten or so years when it starts to fray...if you want a set contact Jim the inventor at jstepp@maine.rr.com he has some left and then that might be it for awhile...thanks

Jim just puts up with this TV guy long enough to get the video done and and get Harry's ass back into the studio van and gone. Nice patience Jim.

i will use these with the Guidoes web spelling might be wrong...

Yes..Casco Maine sir

I am going to research this, because if what jorndis say is true, then it is very important. There is already a fungus all over this country in forests killing trees, so it is important. Without trees, you don't have habitat for those deer you likely would like to hunt.

Ok... All I want to know is where can I buy mine. Brilliant invention

Nice invention, sadly probably doesn't make them anymore Cuz of to much better options from other competitors. I think if he made some that were like 2 foot wide and came out 12 inches or so; have something for people who wanted to have more to step on and feel secure. He might of still be in business.

IS THAT THE GUY FROM TOOL TIME

who invent this,,, is very god, congratulation disculpa my unglish i from colombian

Ah jeez Harry!

Anyone able to order a set of these recently? If so, who did you order them from?

Jim, is there any kind of way I can get the stepp ladder? If not, I understand!

Why do I feel like I'm watching an episode of family guy?

FOR MY DEER HUNTING BLINDS I ALWAYS USE ROPE LADDERS.ITS ALWAYS BEST FOR HUNTING.TRY IT IT WORKS.

Is this for saddle hunters only? Was thinking about using to get to my lok on?

Haha "good for you Harry..."

when all said and done how far will this reach up a tree?

What type of safety harness was used in this video? Looks very lightweight and packable. Where could I buy one like it?

is there a date on the video

Wow, looks nice! Price? And can you buy thoose in Sweden?

I'd this a 1950's school video!?

genius

Donde las consigo????

Never mind lol I spelled it main instead of Maine ..duh!

Jim sounds like George W Bush when he speaks. hey is this company still in business? These steps are ure genius

Will this product ever be back on the market?

There hard to fault. Also, you could climb awkward trees with these steps.

Tress live for hundreds to thousands of years... If it lives at least 100 that's counts as "keeping" it for me.

thats all there is to it

does this is marks on the tree ???

Wow I bet that bag costs more than the steps. I can make these out of 1/2" rebar and static rappelling line.

Great video... But you forgot to put the price..

Do they not make these anymore? It says ** CURRENTLY BACKORDERED**

dude ... get a pair of climbing gaffs and a saddle with a lanyard ... I would have been up that tree by the time you tied your third knot

How much are they?

Tried to email them but delivery failed permanently

Too slow, too cumbersome especially if up high try to tie this. Looks hard enough on the ground. Maybe it's just me..probably is just me.

Where does he live? There are a ton of fabricators in the Detroit area that can make these things.

@mainemonty how much does it cost?

muito bom

But you can put up one climbing stick in the time it takes to put up 1 of these... sticks have 3 steps

@mainemonty How much does a 16' pack run?

Ever heard of "Leave no Trace"?

haha...yes it is indeed sir

What happens a when you get a 275 lb hunter?

I think that guy’s name is Harry

Where can I buy this!?

here's the problem....its a great product.... BUT.....Ameristep sells their 20ft stick ladder at Walmart for 39.00.......I just bought two this year. You cant compete with that.

#kelsey It sure looks and sounds like him lol

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE

Cont- available individually. He requested money up front and the cost of shipping. So like I said. Very suspicious. Beware!!!

What if I told you, during it's lifetime (100 years at LEAST) it caused another 200 to be born?

They are awesome but when you get to your stand and find out someone stole them your pissed and then your day is ruined.

Doesn't this damage the tree?

Is there a site we can order from??

Tell me more about how trees with .05% LESS cambium on a hunting area, affect everyday life.

Great invention! How can I get one?
