Hey everyone,
So I’m finally going to build my own climbing aider and give it a shot to just use the aider instead of my lone wolf and muddy steps this year. I’ve attached some pictures of the stuff I’m using. I went to REI and bought 30 feet of 1” tubular webbing as everyone says to use on here (probably watched Garrett’s @DIY-Sportsman’s video 20 times of making your own aider). I’m going to try and use vinyl tubing for the base of my steps along with the side of it so it gives a defined shape to slide my boot into on the way up, but more importantly on the way down in the dark.
I’ve but the video below for your enjoyment. Great video even though he says he doesn’t use this method I figured I’m going to give it a shot.
I’ve also bout extra tubular webbing because I hunt gamelands and though @g2outdoors bow holder for public land with his tubular webbing design was genius.
The only problem I have G2Outdoors is where do you buy that Clipter hook that you have your bow onto? If anyone knows please provide a like it would be greatly appreciated.
Video below for your enjoyment
I’ll post pictures of it when it’s complete. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to make this better please reply.
I’ve seen a bunch of videos showing people using a cobra design for the step along with the 11mm static rope but no one using a vinyl tube (not sure if there’s a reason for that or not and that’s why I figured I’d try that method)
If the vinyl tube doesn’t work for the base of the step I’ll probably cut it off and weave a cobra weave.
Finally does anyone know if this carabiner is a good carabiner for my tether and will work/fit in the ropeman 1. I just bought it and will return it if it does work.
