Patent ID: 8132647

Claim:
A tree step system comprising: a step lag screw comprising a threaded element and an upper step; a means for driving the step lag screw with a hammer motion into a tree wherein the means for driving further includes a means for rotating the step lag screw with a turning motion such that a leveraged force is used for rotating the step lag screw into the tree wherein the step lag screw is securely attached with the means for driving and rotating; a means for stepping for climbing the tree and stopping rotation of the tree step system in relation to the tree such that a user is supported by the means for stepping and stopping rotation; and a means for holding the means for stepping and stopping rotation wherein the means for holding the means for stepping and stopping rotation is securely attached with the opposing end of the means for driving and rotating from the step lag screw end of the means for driving and rotating and the means for holding the means for stepping and stopping rotation provides for attaching and removing the means for stepping and stopping rotation with the means for driving and rotating; and wherein the means for stepping and stopping rotation comprises a T-shaped tubing structure comprising a vertical structure of the T-shaped tubing structure and a horizontal structure of the T-shaped tubing structure, wherein the horizontal structure is inserted into the means for holding, wherein the vertical structure of the T-shaped tubing is offset with respect to a center of the horizontal structure of the T-shaped tubing such that one side of the horizontal structure of the T-shaped tubing is longer than an other side of the horizontal structure of the T-shaped tubing, wherein the means for stepping and stopping rotation is adjustable for different size trees dependent upon the side of the horizontal portion of the T that is inserted in the means for holding, the vertical structure of the T-shaped tubing further comprising a size and a strength suitable for the user for stepping on the vertical structure when the horizontal structure is inserted in the means for holding.
