I saw a product advertized on TV that was a plastic step that attached to barbed wire fence post to make stepping over barbed wire fences easy. can anyone steer me to where I can find this product?:confused:

[cordex]

Never heard of it.
What about screw-in tree climbing steps?

[stubby]

No, these attach directly to the steel fence posts that hold barbed wire. I am sure they were portable, just snap on and off. I think I saw them on American Shooter several months ago, in thier "new product" segment. Surly some one besides me saw this.

I do have permission to be on the property that I am hunting. I am not sneaking onto somebody's property, just trying to avoid breaking down thier fence by standing on the wire, getting muddy rolling underneath, or tearing my clothing and skin by trying to slip between the strands. Perhaps everyone else jumps them like the deer but I am not able to do so.:banghead: How abou a serious response to my questions:confused:

[Art Eatman]

Aw, now, stubby, it oughta be clear that nobody knows nuttin'. I guess you're just gonna have to hunt through catalogs.

Old Farts generally got a weird sense of humor...

don't ever try to climb over a fence on the steel post unless you want to become a ka-bob... i've seen it happen, not pretty...

go under, go between strands, go around....

[C.R.Sam]

Haven't yet seen a fence without a gate somewhere.

And, as noted above, usin plastic stairs to climb over a steel post not a real good idea.

I can confirm your sighting of the device. I saw it, too. Fits in your pocket. It was serrated for sure boot gripping. IIRC, it was only designed to be used on the steel T-posts. Was pretty cheap, too. Sorry I don't have more info.

[Grayrock]

SUCCESS-

I e-mailed Jim Scoutten, as I had seen it on one of his shows. Here is his reply:

"I asked an associate for the information and he turned it up for you.

Jim,

I found the info on the Hi-Stepper.

Lobo Outdoor Products
1-888-817-4265

The two-page brochure didn't list a price.

The product actually appeared on a different show that was produced for one year: Everything Outdoors with Scott Liles and Byron Ferguson as the hosts.

Hope that helps you find the gadget.

I hope you're skinny. I wouldn't trust a steel T-post with my weight (170) unless it was brand new and set in two feet of concrete. I use a stick to push down the bottom strand and slither between. This requires patience as if you try to hurry it up you'll get snagged for sure, and that's when your big buck will come along.

[cdbeaver]

By gosh, C.R. Sam, real, real good to see your sig again.

As usual, succinct and to the point. Welcome back.

[cordex]

Beaver,
Check the date.

[BIGR]

One slip and your onto that nasty barb wire fence. Then you go back to hunting camp talking with a real high voice.

[cdbeaver]

Oh, ooh, big mistake on my part. Very sorry.

How did that date get in here?

Here's a new product that will certainly become indispensable to hunters, ranchers, farmers, surveyors or any else that needs to cross fences. The original Mason Hi-Stepper, made by Lobo Outdoor Products, makes it easy to cross fences that are supported by T-posts. No more clothing caught on barb wire! No more crawling under or between fence strands!

The Hi-Stepper is both compact and lightweight. It can be easily carried inside a jacket pocket, toolbox or glove compartment, yet it can support up to 1,500 pounds.

Cast in tenzaloy, a high strength aluminum alloy, the Hi-Stepper weighs just 8 ounces. It is only 8 inches long , 2 3/16 inches wide and an inch thick, with a rigid step surface.

The Hi-Stepper quickly and securely fastens to almost any t-POST. It provides a secure foothold that allows the user to step up on one side of the post, swing a leg over the fence to the foothold on the other side and step off. It's that easy.

The Hi-Stepper can also be used as a post pulling tool. It becomes a prying or lifting point for a high lift jack or leverage bar when installed upside down on the T-post.

The Hi-Stepper is extremely useful to deer and turkey hunters because it allows them to cross fences in low light with out making any noise and for fisherman to cross fences without getting a nasty hole in the waders.

Hi-Stepper from Lobo Outdoor Products is a very lightweight and compact device that slips snugly onto a three-corner post and allows anyone to easily and securely step-up-and-over the ripping barbs of a wire fence, thereby eliminating the tearing of skin and clothes trying to get between the strands. Mine is always in my fanny pack and I won’t go afield without it. I’ll never bleed or swear at a barbed-wire fence again. This is one GREAT product. Call Kurt Moler at 1-888-817-4265
