Clip around the waist belt.
I gotcha, I just got a kestrel a couple weeks ago and I just traded my sticks for a set of wild edge steps, just trying to figure out what I’m gonna do

Clip around the waist belt.
I'm 6'2. With 6 stepps I can get to around 15' with no aider at all. That's the highest I can climb in my test tree in the back yard lol.
I'm going to rig up a DIY WE aider either from webbing or rope.
Has anyone tried a hybrid WE / Reds aider? I was thinking that might be a really nice compromise. I tinkered with reds aider but don't really care to have to constantly put the rope back around the tree, especially when i'm already fumbling with a linemans belt. Adjustability of reds aider with ease of the WE aider...
Yes. Most guys are taking @swampspyder lead and attaching the aider directly to their foot as well. So rather than load your foot with the ropeman, you lift your foot before clipping into the step. It works great.I'm 6'2. With 6 stepps I can get to around 15' with no aider at all. That's the highest I can climb in my test tree in the back yard lol.

Yea you can hook to the stepp directly with my method too. I wasn't comfortable doing that at first, I would be now. Any time I had a step come loose there was never a chance of it coming off the tree.I'm 6'2. With 6 stepps I can get to around 15' with no aider at all.
