Cable Aider Mod

[DanO]

@DanO any plans to have supplies for cable aiders? Looking at getting some in the next couple months and would rather order from you than amazon.

Been watching this unfold - if there's interest I'm always up for stocking new stuff.

Cheaper to buy them from lone wolf if you have to buy the swage tool. But hey, it’s a tool! I like tools, I want more tools! I’ll use it for other purposes.

1/8in Coated wire rope was $7 for 30ft
Stainless eyes were $2.80 from amazon.

I like them much better than a CAYG aider. No hassle, easy to climb, flex out and open off the tree for easy foot placement. Fold up on the stick for easy packing.

I ordered these eyelets from amazon and they worked great except that the eyelet diameter is too small for the bolts on my sticks. Any other options?

You need a swaging tool for wire rope. Electrical plier crimps probably won’t support much weight. I don’t even know what the swaging tool I have supports. I know there are different swaging tools. Do at your own risk and research.

I definitely was not gonna use the electrical crimps I was just asking if they were similar, but thank you!

Wish that I had seen this pot 10 minutes earlier, I just ordered them from LWCG.

Got them camo formed today. I didn’t cover the eyelets. I painted them so that I can tell if the cable slips out any from the crimps. It will probably happen all at once but figured a tattle tail wouldn’t hurt.

Those were for 1/4 in bolts. I’m sure they make different size holes, but I didn’t search for them. I also had to put in a longer bolt to make up for the added thickness of the 2 eyelets.

I ordered the LWCG aiders. I'm hoping to attach them to my helium sticks. I tried webbing and I am hoping this will be easier to get my foot in. We'll see!
Update:
I attached them to the stand off bolt on my helium sticks. I had to get a longer bolt. I added washers over and under cable ends and also put a nylon nut as a jamb nut so that as I swivel them up for packing an down for climbing it can't loosen.

The bolt on the LWCG sticks is long enough, but they are 5/16” instead of 1/4”. Been looking for different eyes, but it seems like the only ones I can find are ridiculously expensive.

1/8” cable and 5/16” eye.

Just got the LWCG cable aiders in yesterday and put them on my mini sticks. Sooooo nice!

Me too! They are sweet.

The cable aider mod works really well with the Shikars. I didn’t want to spend on the swaging tool so I bit the bullet and got the LWCG aiders. They pack up just as tight and I use the aiders to tie them together. Win win

Interesting
I may have to try these, I’ve got a movable strap aider but this seems slick

I have beast sticks
Look like the lwcg aider comes with another nut
Is there enough room on the current Beast stick bolt for all that?
