strap on steps?

Does anyone use these and how are they as far as ease of use and safety etc.? How quickly can you set up? I've had some bad luck with screw in steps and don't want to go that route any more. Sticks are to hard to get in quietly and a climber is too bulky for where I need to hunt.

Not familiar with sticks so can't comment on how they compare. As stated, strap on steps are bulky and somewhat of a pain to put up. Putting in a bunch of screw in steps can definitely get a guy rather heated up. I like to split the difference. I put up three strap on steps while on the ground, use screw in steps to stand height, hang stand, and then put one more strap on step around base of stand and tree. Works for me. The only issue I have with this system is safety factor with the screw in steps. I'm always worried that one of those steps is going to let go some day.
