I want to know how you made this. Looks nice. Like the way it holds the steps open and keeps them from twisting.Aiders that I use don't seem to twist as much as the one's that loop around tubing on the stick. I tried the looping the end of the aider around the tubing and I had problems with it that way.

I will post some pics on how made my aiders.
I make the aider from one piece of webbing and inserted the tubing into the webbing to make the steps. I had to sew in the two ends on the top step and where the two ends come together.

I think it is 11'. The steps are 18" apart.
That is exactly how I'm using an aider with my helium steps, except only one step. Be careful with using a DIY sewn aider like that. You don't want to find out how good your sewing is when its too late.
That can be done with one piece of webbing, should be very strong.
Here are a few of mine on my Helium sticks. You will notice I did the mod making these 2 step sticks like DaveT. I made some 2 step and 1 step aiders. I think I want to go with all 2 step. I just lay them up over my sticks as I stack. I use the rope on my last stick to bind my sticks together as well as keep the aiders from flopping around. The steps create just enough of a hump to keep rope from sliding back up to the center of the stick.
Pilgrimhunter, did you go with a 3 step version of this aided? If so, how did it work this last hunting season?
No. I used them like pictured. I am getting 4 20" steps using them this way. Theoretically this put the top of my stick @ 80". Not sure I can reach high enough to use an additional step in my aider. If I was to change something I would probably shoot for an 18" step in the aider. Have found that I struggle to get the same height out of a strap step compared to a fixed step as the strap is a bit harder to get your foot in compared to a fixed step.
