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.
i have this from Jim they are PERFECT!!!!! i have found NOTHING better amazing!!!! Perfect EASY!!! buy them!!! Thank you JIM!
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...
Glad you like them Rick...good luck with the white tails sir...cheers
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!
Great Vid Jim thanks.
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.
Awesome invention!
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!!
New to the climber world and put it to use this hunting season. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs 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.
Boy Jim, that sure looked easy!!
Ozzie Jim sure is Harry. LOL
I love janky hunting stuff... professionals use harnesses, specified climbing and decending knots, or equipment and arborist rated rope for a reason...
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.
Good tool ever made,,
🇧🇷👍fantástico
🇧🇷👍parabéns
🇧🇷👍maravilhoso
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS and
🇧🇷👍Family 🇧🇷👍
thank you
Awesome. Make sure to share your results with me later on.
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.
There already being made again..wild edge
Thanks for putting up this video. Do you know the weight per step or per bag of steps?
Email Jim Stepp the inventor at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can give you all the details...thanks
Well how much are they harry?....
I can make these out of rebar. Thx
Email the inventor Jim Stepp at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can give you the details...thanks
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)
🇧🇷👍 parabéns Congratulations 🇧🇷👍 gratifying 🇧🇷👍
Thank you! Cheers!
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
Interesting product but I prefer a climbing stand, takes me 5 minutes to get 40 feet up and hook up my saftey harness.
Email Jim Stepp the inventor at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can ship to you...he has sent steps to Sweden a bunch..thanks
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.
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.
genius
Double rope technique kinda makes this obsolete but it is a sweet idea
Yes..Casco Maine sir
I think Jim could do this video by himself , quicker and with a lot less b.s.
I was about to say that Harry shouldn't be allowed up a tree even with supervision, but you beat me to it. The point anyway.
Could you imagine hunting with that loud mouth?
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
Is this for saddle hunters only? Was thinking about using to get to my lok on?
I just came across this system only to find that he's right down the road from me. Are there any left?
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?
look up wildedge company ..they are making the stepp ladder now
Email the inventor Jim Stepp at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can hook you up
when all said and done how far will this reach up a tree?
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.
Wow, looks nice! Price? And can you buy thoose in Sweden?
Jim Stepp, Sir, Is this product of yours available in ebay? Would love to place an order.
Jim Stepp no longer makes these however he sold the plans to a friend. These same steps are available at wildedgeinc.com
Hi Fotrane...email the inventor Jim Stepp....at jstepp@maine.rr.com and he can help you...thanks
Ah jeez Harry!
Ok... All I want to know is where can I buy mine. Brilliant invention
Email the inventor dude...Jim Stepp...his email is jstepp@maine.rr.com thanks
Why are these no longer being made?! Bring them back!
If you know someone that wants to make them...call Jim Stepp the inventor...he would like someone to keep on making them.
3 years late, but i agree! I want some. Might actually build some of these.
for myself lol.....no lawsuits
to your response. this is a great idea I just don't like it because you can unlock it by accidentally kicking it up. you also are relying on your harness as a third point of contact. send me one and I'll try ir. I'm not cutting you down just seems easy to screw up
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.
These are still being sold
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
muito bom
is there a date on the video
does this is marks on the tree ???
What type of safety harness was used in this video? Looks very lightweight and packable. Where could I buy one like it?
I emailed Jim...his reply is as follows "Seat O The Pants harness. Not sure it’s being made anymore. I’ll do a search and send you a link if I find it. I remember the original manufacturer of the harness was Fall Woods Inc. They were bought out by Summit Specialties. Sportsman’s Guide has the harness listed for about $70." thanks
@mainemonty
How much does a 16' pack run?
FOR MY DEER HUNTING BLINDS I ALWAYS USE ROPE LADDERS.ITS ALWAYS BEST FOR HUNTING.TRY IT IT WORKS.
can you adjust the length of the step?..can you have a step at a different horizontal position than the previous step (good when climbing crooked trees)
thats all there is to it
Nick Lawton
Will this product ever be back on the market?
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 pass on your comment to Jim...cheers
@@mainemonty By the way, I have some of Jim's original Stepps and they're great. I was involved in doing some television work twenty-five years ago and I was sometimes the "Harry" who had to ask the questions for our viewers. No offense to Harry intended. I hope both fellas are doing well.
@@wessfulton644 Hi Wess...I see Jim at least a couple times a month..He is busy building a new barn/garage and of course hunting season is upon us...Jim hunts with compound/crossbow/muzzleloader/rifle...look forward to hanging out with him in the woods...thanks for posting...cheers
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
lol.. whats a VCR ? these guys are funny, like kids.
... are waist belts leagal ne more... other then fall restraint?
@mainemonty how much does it cost?
Would have more fun if Gary had climbed the steps.
i will use these with the Guidoes web spelling might be wrong...
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.
There hard to fault. Also, you could climb awkward trees with these steps.
Why do I feel like I'm watching an episode of family guy?
yep, here we go again...two happy, careless americans assuming that everyone on this planet is a complete idiot.
Awww....sorry I offended you Billy Joe Jim Bob, I should have realized that you needed things explained in this way in order to understand. jlcttss
Never seen the family guy...but if he has multiple patents on inventions and is a registered maine guide then ya he is like Jim
haha...yes it is indeed sir
Haha "good for you Harry..."
Jim, is there any kind of way I can get the stepp ladder? If not, I understand!
Company called Wild Edge sells them bud
who invent this,,, is very god, congratulation disculpa my unglish i from colombian
Jim Stepp is the inventor
I'd this a 1950's school video!?
IS THAT THE GUY FROM TOOL TIME
+Kelsey Stokes No but close.
"I don't think so, Jim"
Was thinking same thing lol.
How much are they?
Great video... But you forgot to put the price..
email Jim Stepp the inventor for pricing at jstepp@maine.rr.com thanks
Anyone able to order a set of these recently? If so, who did you order them from?
Wild Edge if you’re still interested.
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
No damage to the tree by using the ladder system though
My trees are to valuable to Spur Up... but I need up them... this is a good system with out destruction of bark, and allowing invasion of insects
Wow I bet that bag costs more than the steps. I can make these out of 1/2" rebar and static rappelling line.
rebar not as stable or strong...but enjoy
Never mind lol I spelled it main instead of Maine ..duh!
Where does he live? There are a ton of fabricators in the Detroit area that can make these things.
Great invention! How can I get one?
Jim has run out of his old stock...he is currently looking for a company to make them under license...thanks
Jim sold the business to a friend. These same steps now available at wildedgeinc.com
Jim sounds like George W Bush when he speaks.
hey is this company still in business? These steps are ure genius
But you can put up one climbing stick in the time it takes to put up 1 of these... sticks have 3 steps
Can you vary the step height on a climbing stick?...Can you use a climbing stick up a crooked tree? How visible is the climbing stick once it is in place....The Stepps allow varied step heights..and u can climb up the crookedest tree with no problem...and the stepps are pretty stealth...oh and if you hike a long way to a tree the stepps are less awkward to carry for sure...thanks for posting
this allows you to vary step height and step position...very useful
Tress live for hundreds to thousands of years... If it lives at least 100 that's counts as "keeping" it for me.
Donde las consigo????
Impact guns buddy. Thanks for asking
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.
rangersct I’ll stick with my lone climbing sticks and alpha ll hang and hunt
What happens a when you get a 275 lb hunter?
I weigh 300...it will support 275...their is a pick where it is supporting a wheeler on it with a guy on the wheeler
Tried to email them but delivery failed permanently
#kelsey It sure looks and sounds like him lol
Ever heard of "Leave no Trace"?
Do you drive a car? Leave no Trace!
Danny Gordon It's about being respectful in the woods so others can enjoy them as well...if you punch enough holes in trees, someone may ban you from using that land for recreational purposes..it happens all the time here in the North East
Is there a site we can order from??
Wild edge sells them
Where can I buy this!?
google wild edge stepp ladder
jstepp@maine.rr.com ...did you try that?
Do they not make these anymore? It says ** CURRENTLY BACKORDERED**
www.wildedgeinc.com/#/
WHERE CAN I BUY ONE
wild edge
I think that guy’s name is Harry
Yup..Harry and Jim
Doesn't this damage the tree?
Stan7670 yes !
Malbak No more than a climber or hang on...I'd say the damage done is next to nothing
my neighbor has been using the stepps on the same tree since 98...no problem
What if I told you, during it's lifetime (100 years at LEAST) it caused another 200 to be born?
Cont- available individually. He requested money up front and the cost of shipping. So like I said. Very suspicious. Beware!!!
Nope his email ain't workin! Dammit!
I made it 1:30
