So I just got around to assemble the 20 foot ladder I bought last year.  It's made by Alpine Towers & Stands but manufactured in China.  After reading 5 pages (45 different warnings) I finally got to the instructions.  Step 1 and step 2 (see photo below)


All 4 "ladder" sections (I assume they mean ladder when they say "stick" sections are identical. None will insert into the other.  Fortunately there are 4 sleeves that will connect the sections but there is no mention of these in the limited instructions.  The warnings are quite hilarious including having 3 or more people to put it up and get this "while standing on your platform tree stand, securely connect the ladder straps".  Ok so if you were able to place your stand in the tree, you probably don't need this ladder.  Also, just in case you don't know, don't use the ladder in a lightning storm.

Huh....good luck! Any in a store you can look at, or is it just from an online place?  Maybe that's why "we"never read instructions....might be the same guy wrote this menu... :doah:
