DIY- Amsteel Attachments- Mobile Hunting Packages

Iowa 2025

Got my steps before my 2025 public land Iowa hunt. I was not sure how well the Origin steps would work on those difficult SE Iowa trees. I took some sticks just in case. I hunted for 14 days, 100% mobile. I started the hunt using my Origin steps. I never touched my sticks the entire hunt. I never climbed a tree and thought I wish I would have brought my sticks. These steps worked perfectly. My only complaint, they should have come out with these steps 25 years ago. Would have made my life alot easier.

My new, favorite method of mobile climbing

I've always been a step guy. For mobile use, I used the Cranford rope steps. Those aren't made anymore, but these Bullman Origins are so much easier and lighter than those. I've tried sticks and hated carrying them, unpacking them, and repacking them. I use 2 long, narrow pouches that run along the top panel of my saddle. I can fit 6 in each. They are easy to get to, weigh hardly anything, and easy to pack away as I climb down. I can weave in and around branches, vines, and knots with these steps. They are my new, favorite method of mobile climbing.

these will work great to let a treestand hang and remove several bottom steps. I thought they came with cinch straps other wise I would have given a 5 rating
