Hey what size is the strap for ameristeps. I just won some on eBay and need to buy a ratcheting strap for a platform.
Are they 1"? How long of a strap are you using?

Any straps you guys prefer?
 
1" width. Try to find an endless ratchet strap without the hooks. It will be manufactured plenty long enough. I was able to cut mine down and still have plenty of length.
 
Thanks huck.
All the endless ones on amazon are yellow. And if they aren't, the hardware looks cheap.

Maybe a local business will have some nicer ones.
 
I picked up an endless one for about $7 at my local hardware store. Cut the strap to 7' and voila. After about 4-5 hunts with about 20 hours standing in it I'm more concerned with the strap than the rachet

Get the boat OCB buckle that is talked about on here, and reuse one of the factory Ameristep straps. :cool:
 
I simply went to a boat canvas asked them if they could sew me a 1" strap around the little bar on my ratchet strap. I bought a load barring strap from them and had them triple sew 8" of the strap, its worked great for me. Strap and sewing job cost me $13.

redsquirrel you are a pioneer man! We need to start giving you donations for spending so much money to find the right equipment. :lol:

Thanks! I just love hunting out of a saddle and helping others who do too! I am constantly striving to find better ways to hunt!
 
So I went with the 1.5" from strap works - it's awesome. It prevents the steps from sliding too much when there isn't tension on it. Works awesome - highly recommend
