We built the patent-pending APEX Ladder System to get hunters up a tree — but our customers keep finding new uses for it. Turns out a modular set of solid steel steps and 1,900-lb-rated rope is one of the most versatile tools you can throw in a truck or a pack. Here are seven.
- Get up the tree. The original job — saddle hunting and mobile tree-stand access, tight and quiet.
- Hang a hammock. Set two steps on opposing trees and string up a hammock for a fast, off-the-ground camp.
- Tie off animals. A rock-solid anchor point — one customer uses his to tie up his horse.
- Secure a boat or gear. Another ties off his boat; the rugged steel build handles the load.
- A packable mobile ladder. Camp chores, property work, or reaching a stand — a ladder you can carry anywhere.
- Utility & access. From ranch work to the job site, it's a dependable step system that won't quit.
- Backcountry problem-solver. When you need a strong tie-off, a step, or an anchor and you only packed one tool — this is it.
Solid steel, backed by a 1-year warranty. Start with the 5-Pack or go big with the 10-Pack.
