Nice to hear! I am wanting those shoulder pad for the carry bag for sure!I can't give all the secrets away! But yes the platform will require only one stepp and a carry bag is also in the works! Shoulder pads will be up on the website this week!

I am in suspense! (Pun intended) Really looking forward to the new platform. Just a thought, you could start a new thread called the Stepp Ladder Platform Reveal! Then we could all put our name in a hat and the winner (me) would get the new platform shipped to them before it can be bought! Then they can tell everyone how easy and wonderful it is! (Especially since you have found a way for the platform to not only be light and stable but also to drag your deer out for you!)I can't give all the secrets away! But yes the platform will require only one stepp and a carry bag is also in the works! Shoulder pads will be up on the website this week!
Hoping someone can help... got my stepps in the mail and now they seem to want to pop up once I cam them. What's the deal?
Make sure you are running the rope through the correct portion. It is easy to put them in the wrong spot when you are learning. This video should help:Hoping someone can help... got my stepps in the mail and now they seem to want to pop up once I cam them. What's the deal?
@Swampfox I have built two of these boards with the second one having 1.25" holes and it still doesn't lie completely flat. A video explaining and showing how you got this to work for you would be great! I wonder if 1/2" plywood would work better for this?
Roughly 1.25"

@Swampfox thanks again for showing your board build....I have built two of these boards with the second one having 1.25" holes and this thing is still not lying flat. No pressure but have you made a video explaining and showing how you got this to work for you? I can keep reaming this out but it still seems as though the 3/4" board may be to thick.. i'm also wondering if this isnt working for me because there is a difference between the old jim stepps and the new wildedge stepps?
I found this video on youtube today! This could give you guys with steppladders (jimstepp or wildedge) a cheap and easy DIY platform!

We tried making it as light as possible and spent so much time on the weight issue that we were not able to make it strong enough. We are now messing around with different metal gauges to really shave a few more ounces off but most importantly it will be strong! All you guys who are weight conscious I have another alternative that may take a little longer and more money but it will happen in the future.
That is a common problem new users have and it is very easy to fix! The KEY to proper installation of the SteppLadder is to get the Stepp tight to the tree and let the tension out of the rope until you can pull the stand offs up above the rope as far as you can go and then cam it over so that the stand offs sit a the same plane of the rope or above it! Check out our youtube channel (Wild Edge Inc) for demo videos! Feel free to give us a call anytime as well!

Whatever happened to the platform they were developing for the step ladder ?

I came across this on the internet. It is not a step but would something like this work? Going to try the plywood method first and see if I can come up with something similar to the patent.
