Kit was complete have had 5 hunts with it only issue I've had one of the bolts holding the step and stand off the nut was stripped and found another bolt and nut loose other wise quality equipment
Glad I went with the EDP. It’s a great weight, provides plenty of foot room for my larger frame and feels solid under me. It also has small hook and push off points that help me move around the tree if needed.
Recently purchasing 2 "new" ESTRs, my "original" is still in great condition after 1 season and almost 50 hunts to it's credit.
The ESTR's design is PERFECT for me as I use it to carry my "CRITICAL" items...SMALL HANDGUN, CELL PHONE, SMALL BINOS, SMALL SAW, PRUNING SHEARS, SMALL BUCK KNIFE, RANGE FINDER & 2 WIND CHECKERS filled with milkweed are within EASY REACH while TRANSPORTING IN...ASCENDING & DESCENDING the tree...and ALL available at HUNTING HEIGHT!
It is LITERALLY the PERFECT "CRITICIALS" PAK!
Love it! Easy to install, feels solid unlike some other brands I have tried. It also locks in so well you can push off if it sideways to basically backwards without any movement. Best platform i have ever owned!
