Just got a pair of these on Amazon (Sangym) but there aren’t any instructions on how to adjust for the correct distance between the front and back toothed sections based on the size tree you’re climbing. I really like the knob bolts you added to lock down this adjustment and will be making the same modification to mine. I plan on using these to climb palm trees for trimming. Not sure that they will work though. The tree bark is VERY smooth and hard and the climber teeth don’t really bite in. That’s why I’m asking about front to back teeth spacing assuming that there is a sweet spot that makes these work the best. Thanks in advance for your reply.
@@Crayz919 stealth strips would be to tight and not slide. Only thing I’ve changed was welding a bar on that back that hold my heel in place instead of the strap. Post a link to where you’re looking at these, I might want to pick up a second set.

I remember something of that exact design coming out many years ago, it was available for a year or so and disappeared.. I always wondered if something bad happened and the design was scrapped. Looked like a reasonably viable idea f(or you slimmer guys anyway).
Tree health is the number one reason I do not like spikes. Rappelling back down is and option, but I don't see a point to carry extra rope to climb back down when I can use the same climbers and climb down.
Why not leave them on instead of taking them off? I designed a very similar step system about 15 yrs ago and it's all I use. Tree sling and steps fits into a backpack. In my mind it's one of the most deadliest and quickest setup period! I leave nothing behind for the animals to smell or that I have to go back later to retrieve.
If you leave them on it would make it difficult to move around the tree quietly. Also, you can only have weight on one foot or the other. This would lead to foot fatigue. It would be easier to remove them and use a traditional type of platform.
Fair enough. The EONPOW Tree Climbers steps do look like they could be a little hard on your feet after awhile. My steps have a foot platform that provides full support although they come in at 10 lbs I feel it's probably worth a little extra weight vs having to don & doff them while in the tree. In regards to moving I can move around the tree very quite if I want and definitely with little effort. I shoot with my left foot down which for a right handed shooter offers the same body position as standing with your left foot forward. For a lefty it'd be opposite. I use a tee type crutch sewn into my tree sling which allows me to take 90% of the weight off my feet for periods of rest. I've been in my steps for over 5 hrs when bear hunting and usually 3 - 4 hrs when elk and moose hunting. Whatever the case your on the right track as the steps in my mind are the safest most versatile hunting system out there. I'm kinda glad there's people that are closed minded out there as it leaves guys like us more opportunity for success.....grin
Thanks for the awesome information. I’m just getting into saddle hunting and took my first deer from a saddle this season. Just wondering. Have you ever thought about using these as your actual platform? How comfortable are they once strapped to your boot?
They are pretty comfortable once on your feet. The issue with using them as a platform is it becomes difficult to move around the tree and one foot always has to be higher or lower than the other. IF you were to try and have them at the same height, the part that goes behind the tree would make contact with the other one.
BoudreauxBoswell thanks for getting back to me. I see what you mean about them possibly contacting each other. I also didn’t thing about your feet being at different heights when your at hunting height. I still may give these a try for climbing then use something else for standing. As of now I’ve only used the top step of my Muddy stick. Pretty uncomfortable after a short time. Thanks again for the info. Your videos are always informational. Keep them going!
Another name these use is DUOSHIDA - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CPPLGBR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Your googlefu is strong! I will pin this to the top so others can find it!
BoudreauxBoswell I bought some! They have been modified, heavily, ready to try them soon. I just got back from Mark Twain from a 10 day hunt.
awesome video man!...
Great info, thanks for all of the tips and hardwork to help educate people about saddle hunting over the years!

Could u just stealth tape whole piece so it doesn't slide as freely due to the stealth tape , it still slide inside tube just take more effort

They have size up to 26cm- 40cm
@@Crayz919 they are adjustable from 26 to 40cm.
The ones I'm looking at are 24- 44cm opening from what it advertised
24-44cm is 9-17 inches I believe
Do u still use these and have you modified anymore
What size are these
@@Crayz919 when I ordered these there was no size, just one size.
What size or model are these I don’t want to small cause small size says 20cm and biggest says 40cm
There is only one size, they are adjustable.

how to order sir
I am not sure, the link was to an amazon seller that had them. If you look around you could find some somewhere on the internet, but I am not sure.
Tree health....Looks to be a better alternative than spikes. Also, look at rappelling back down, but that would be extra rope to carry in.

Those are wild ! Great idea !
Only thing too is compered too spikes is gotta clear them around branches good video though another good idea
Interesting concept. Hopefully they develop them more to be less clunky. Maybe traction belts similair to Lone Wolf climbers?
The LW belts would be impossible because they are not stiff enough, they need to go around the entire tree.
I was thinking the foot pieces be similar to the LW base, but much smaller with the belts feeding thru and wrap the tree.

So will you be using these exclusively in the future rather than sticks? (excellent video comparison btw)
Exclusively no, but they will become part of my kit. Especially scouting new areas or presetting trees in the off season.
I am very interested how can I get a set
I don't know where you found these but their is nothing on web for them
How much
Hi, can you tell me where to purchase these climbers? Thanks
The company that sells these seems to make them in batches. They will show up on amazon from time to time, just search "Eonpow climbers"
where are these things I cant find them anyplace
They will show up on Amazon from time to time. They seem to be produced in batches and sell out, so just keep and eye out for them!
I might just have to build a set at my fab shop I like the idea
took me a while but I found them
These are really interesting, do you still use them, or have you swapped to a different method?
I still have them, I am planning a hunt in Missouri in a few weeks and they will be my SOLE method of climbing for the hunt.
Can't wait to see the footage and hear how they did! Are these sold commercially?
Yes they are, You will need to check amazon for them. They are sold in batches, so you will see them for sale until they sell out.
BoudreauxBoswell where in Missouri?
Ft. Leonard Wood area
Can't find them any we're.
What's the weight limit?
I am not sure of the weight limit, I bought these second hand with no paperwork.
Very interesting for sure
