Ratchet strap for ameristeps

[CaptAppalachia]

What ratchet strap do you use? Is there a ready made one or do you mod a regular one. Out the package a regular strap seems cumbersome at best.

If you're willing, look into making an "OCB" strap. It's a modified boat buckle, no clinking ratchet and you can get it very snug.

It's a lengthy thread but I believe it's the original that red started, good luck!

For some reason it won’t open?

On one of these threads I pointed out that you can buy a plastic coated ratchet at Academy Sports and Outdoors.

The video wouldn’t open but I did follow links until I found a red squirrel post with an amazon link. I ordered it and when it gets here I’ll ask for help again. Thanks!

Here is another option. Using the original strap and any ratchet strap. The hook can hook directly on the frame of the ratchet.

The hoo was too big here to hook on the pin.

^^I do it exactly like Ernie has posted. On some buckles the flat hook will fit on the buckle pin and on others you have to hook it on the frame. And the original Ameristep straps are the way to go as they are thicker and more rigid than most.

I opened up my flat hook and re-bent it to fit the pin on the ratchet.
