Typo in the address. I put in for a secure connection and there is none.

Looks good now. Nice ladder.

Hopefully I won't need anymore ladders, I have vertigo and looking up while on a ladder is a problem.

And to think I used to free climb...

The Little Giant ladders are great - but boy are they heavy!.What about one of the elevated perches they sell to hunters?

Any more, I use a luggage dolly —and a cane, so I don't go too damn far from the car, but then, neither did Edward Westen.

Randome thought relating to the topic of the OP: Pelican makes a set of shoulder straps for some models of their hard cases. One could stand on a hard case from time-to-time.

I have a two foot wooden ladder made by the Michigan Ladder company, model 110002. Mine weighs 7#10oz and I paid $22.99 at a hardware store in Pioneer CA on my way over the hill. I've found that the further I carry it, the less I'm likely to need it; and if I leave it behind in the truck, I'm sure to miss the shot.

I'd look into an orchard ladder - they're sort of like giant tripods with steps between two of the legs and they set up well amongst trees etc - but they're probably heavy. A regular four-footed ladder in the rough is bad news. as it will rock all over the place.

If you're NOT hiking, I would suggest using a wheeled Pelican case.
I can stand on mine if needed, and standing on it when the case is upright gives me 2-3 feet extra height.

If your tripod is solid enough, perhaps a "tree stand stick ladder section" might be usable? Often available in 5' pieces at your local outdoorsy store or cabelas.
