For over 30 years now we have been obsessed with finding the most ideal way to climb a tree while mobile hunting.
In considering a climbing method, you will want to look at 4 components.
Lightweight, easy to use, how it packs, and are there straps to climb or use.
Each of these adds a variability that either adds or subtracts from the method.
Let’s talk about weight first.
The lightest climbing sticks available weigh right at a pound. Thats 2 steps typically 17″ or less.
Our Platform Step and USA Attachment weighs just 4.2 oz. total!
That is the lightest step ever to hit the market!
4 of our Platform Steps with the USA attachments weigh the same as one climbing stick.
So basically, these steps are less than half the weight of the lightest sticks available, and also nearly half the cost!
How about ease of use?
This is our 5th climbing step we have created along with the 5th different attachment method we have offered for sale, not to mention the many others we have tested.
This combo is by far the easiest to get ready. the easiest to attach, and the most solid step we have ever used with the least amount of learning curve.
These steps will not “kick out” like a climbing stick or other strap on steps will.
The stability really is hard to believe.
And Packability?
10 steps which can get you 20′ with a typical stride will pack down even smaller than the ropes and ascender for one sticking.
And that’s way smaller and easier to pack than any sticks.
Not to mention we throw in our Climbing Pack (designed to climb for the mobile hunter) for free plus a roll of Uncle Lous Stealth Strips with every climbing system purchase to make sure you can have the most efficient and quietest way to climb possible.
With a little practice with the Platform Step and USA Attachment, you can be well under 6 minutes to 20 feet. Thats fast!
It’s so organized and simple!
You can walk right up to the tree and start climbing. And then on the way back down you pack up as you go! And it’s faster on the way down than it is on the way up.
Not a single step has to touch the ground.
We have really put this climbing method to the test, and it has passed every one of them with flying colors.
Your climbing method and platform together, weighing barely 4.6lbs and all fitting in the bag that was designed specifically for the mobile hunters’ mission really is game changing.
It just makes sense.
Don’t follow the herd. Lead it!

Lightweight, durable , quick to set , and sturdy. I use these as mobile hang and hunt style , and I leave some as pre sets in specific sets of woods. Great product that truly does get rid of weak side shots.
The practicality of this set up is what peeked my curiosity. But it meets my requirements. Small, light weight, easy to pack in and pack out. I would 100% say read the instruction and make sure you practice a lot with the steps. They are different and it wasn’t love at first sight. It took some time and learning on how I liked everything set up. I’m 290 and 6’1. I feel like I’m trusting a lot for these little steps, but they seem solid so far. Just make sure you stretch each step before you do an initial climb.
The ring of steps are great addition for any saddle hunter light weight and easy to put up
So far I’m in love with the steps and ring of steps!! It’s a bit of a learning curve getting used to putting the steps on vs climbing sticks but after a few days of playing around with them I’ve got it down pretty good takes me about 5-7 minutes to get to 20 ft and put the ring of steps on. All around great package that weighs next to nothing!!
Ultralight and solid construction. Delivered quickly
After being picked off by a few too many deer using a platform, I just changed my saddle program to the ring of steps. I very much like being able to put the tree between me and the approaching deer, nomatter which direction it is coming from as well as being able to rest my feet on the steps and straddle the tree without having to rest my knees against the tree. Shooting around the tree is so much easier from both strong and weak sides. I'm already shooting from the steps so everything is automatic by October.
I bought a multi - pack of 8 steps and the ratchet strap. Don't need all 8 every sit/tree, but they are available when needed. The ring of steps is easy to attach quietly compared to the platform as well as easier to pack in.
So far I've been able to use the ROS on 3 different trees. I find that the larger trees work best for me. I'm using them to compliment my Out On A Limb Slick Rick. The strap takes a little getting used to, but once it's ratcheted down, the steps are glued to the tree and give me more options to take an animal vs having just a platform. If you're on the fence or thinking of some cheap knock-off, don't make the mistake of passing these up. Just get them. You won't regret it.
Truly unbelievable! A must have for your arsenal! Very well made, sturdy and equips to the tree with zero problems.
This climbing package is great the. Platform ROS is as solid a platform as I have ever used. So great for a big guy. 360 degree accessibility for any tree. The steps are great as well. I am still figuring out or getting comfortable with the steps. But they get the job done and you will not get anything lighter. I use the JX3 versatile saddle and adding this product to my system has been a game changer.
New to the Saddle world and very afraid of heights I have to say that these steps to me and for my needs are incredible. Very secure once set. I am able to get almost all the way around the tree within reason. Both strong side and weak. Of course you're limited by the length of you tether. Steps and strap are incredibly well made. It takes me awhile to trust new gear but this product put my mind at ease. I don't use a platform and I wanted to keep weight down. So this was a no brainer. Thank you Bullman Outdoors for the fast shipping as well and an outstanding product. I use these with my Dryad Full Hammock. I can spend an entire day just a swingin in the trees, comfortably.
Got these yesterday and got to use them today. I’m a public land hunter and I use the JX3 hybrid saddle and Wild Edge steps.
My last ring of steps was something I got off of Amazon. They were AL and only had a cam strap. They were noisy and you could only get the cam straps so tight.
These are plastic and are super quiet. The ratchet strap really allows you to crank them tight.
You could do jumping jacks on these things and they aren’t going to shift.
You can also put full side pressure and again, they aren’t going to shift.
Since I’m in a hybrid saddle…only time I on my feet is moving around the tree or relieving myself I can’t tell you about foot comfort of an all day hang. The foot pegs are sizeable and hooked into the heel of my boot and I felt like my feet had plenty of support.
Totally recommend these.
Awesome tool for climbing trees and going lighter and lighter. weight is crucial. too much weight walking in and you sweat more. that means human odor. These steps with the right configuration can get you 20 feet high to your platform height in under 4lbs if you use them with aiders.
Ordered the ring of steps and they felt way better than the cheaper set I was using. Had the strap start to rip and emailed bullman and they immediately sent me new strap. Highly recommend
