    4 point Jim Stepps

    So, I attached a regular strap to it, and it does well. The strap was a complete pain, as compared to a rope, but it does make it functional. I'm not well versed in the stepps at this point, so I don't know how the strap angle is supposed to be. What I have is very stable, but it doesn't cam...

    Packs : style and size?

    The latest and greatest is always going to fail you. See what fits in your pockets. Sounds like. turkey vest or a small stuff sack, or a dump pouch would be in order for what you're wanting.

    If you're watching this thread, I opened a new one in the DIY section with what I've done so far: http://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/4-point-jim-stepps.1955/#post-24315

    4 point Jim Stepps

    Yes, I know the welding needs some work. I hesitated posting pictures after seeing how ugly it is. But I'm nearly out of gas, and I'm short on time, so it is what it is. I'll clean up those locations in the near future if the sizing on this is satisfactory for my feet. So, as of yet, I'm not...

    What's a etrier? I'm working a different method to get the photos up. From all I can see, it's going to take some time, though. I'll try to get a weight on it soon, as well.

    4 point Jim Stepps

    So, after hearing enough comments about wanting a 4 point stepp to use as a platform, I decided to take a shot at it. This weekend is going to be my last day off for at least 2 weeks, so I had to jump in without any actual dimensions or anything (I don't own any stepps, just thought it sounded...

    How about lighter rope, such as 7mm?

    Awesome. I appreciate the prompt replies. I ran across that store, but wasn't sure if it was money well spent or not. Only other option I was seeing was REI.

    Links for rope and such...

    Those of you that have been buying recently, I'm looking for 11mm and 7mm climbing rope. The prices I'm finding right now are way higher than I'm wanting. Anybody got links to what I can afford? Color makes absolutely no difference - a package of dye is pretty cheap. Where are you buying...

    Please expand on that... I have an idea instantly, but most guys are trying to cut weight. A strap with a keeper buckle is a lot heavier than a rope. Could be a good idea, just want to understand what you're suggesting.

    4-point Jim Stepps

    Ernie, Just do the tracings. I have a turnaround coming up next week, so I'll probably be on a slight delay. I was hoping to get on it this weekend, but now I have to help my old man pull the dock out, on top of getting ready for the travel. Also, for those of you that would like to see a...

    4-point Jim Stepps

    Following up replies to my request for reviews on the stepp ladder, I'm thinking about trying to assemble an enlarged step with 4 points of contact. But, I don't own a stepp ladder currently, and don't really want to buy one just to try to make something else. I can weld. And I can run the...

    Buy or DIY Aiders?

    I ran across this diy sportsman guy on youtube a short while back. He's got a few videos on climbing with 1 stick, climbing with no sticks, and stuff on aiders. One thing he did was to stuff a chunk of rope inside his webbing at the step locations so the loops stay open until you put your foot...

    Stepp Ladder reviews...

    In that respect, it makes sense. I was only thinking about it from the ladder aspect. I'm guessing you may also like some that are a little wider, for use as a platform?

    Stepp Ladder reviews...

    I have seen posts from Wild Edge here in the past. I did not realize they were producing them from WI, which may influence my purchase, as now I'm back on my home turf. But I'm leaning more towards the Lone wWolf, the Muddy Aerolite, or the Helium sticks. I'm not real patient on stand setup...
