RE: pegs vs ladder

I would go with some sort of ladder sticks that attach to the tree. Theyre a little more expensive and bulky than screw in steps but well worth it. They attach to the tree in seconds and IMO much safer and easier to climb up.

ladders,

safer like others said, plus easier to install and don't damage tree.
Some places don't let you use pegs, especially timber company land!

RE: pegs vs ladder

i like my screw in steps... i tired the ladder sticks... if it isnt a fairly strait tree the ladder sticks can be kinda hard to set up...

Agreed. I like a combination of all types of stands so I can meet any need. There are some trees the ladder sticks would be MORE dangerous.
