Nail Substitute for Tree Steps/Ladders?

0Gents,
As we approach October plans are being made on new sets/ tree stand location. I normally hunt from Lockons and have been using the big clumsy 20' ladders that are strapped to the tree for the past five years.
In the past I have used everything from ameristep treesteps to the old school folding screw in steps. My question is why not use 10 in tree spikes? If anyone has experience with them (guage/make) let me know and a good place to acquire. It seems the local Ace may just be the place
Thanks for the help guys

I have a set of lone wolfs set up with cheaters I am looking for a semi permanent option.
I did think about hanging the lock ons and then using sticks on every hunt. They tend to be clunky/cumbersome and I end up being a sweaty mess once Im situated

on 8/30/22 at 1:40 pm to Lizrdman9With the existence of climbing sticks why in the world would you use screw in steps? I could be 20’ up a tree by the time you screw or hammer in one step

Because I will be prepping 5-10 trees prior to hunting season with steps that stay in the tree. Thats the concept

on 8/30/22 at 1:52 pm to Lizrdman9Back a long time ago, we used cotton picker spindles. They worked, but they were unfortunately permanent, couldn’t get em’ out.
I still prefer climbers to loc ons, imo, more safety and comfort, but more sweat in early bow season.

on 8/30/22 at 2:46 pm to Lizrdman9If you're prepping 5-10 trees, why not just use ladder stands? Much safer and much more comfortable.

Warren Womack pre season tree drilling.
If you skip to about 9 minutes in this video he tells you how to do it in detail...
another Warren Womack video...
If you use this method all you have to carry is a pocketfull of bolts to climb any tree you have pre-drilled.

Substitute for Tree Steps
A really good rope, a saddle, and DRT or SRT your way up any tree in the woods.
