Anyone figure out how to attach these steps for climbing using just amsteel?
Old Cranford rope steps had a whoopie sling that went on a hook.
I’m thinking thin amsteel could go through squirrel or new tree hopper step slots with a whoopie sling on the opposite side. But without the hooks can anyone think of a way to join the two ends of amsteel?
You don’t have a versabutton to use.
I’m envisioning a whoopie sling with soft shackle to join the ends.
This would be quieter and if you had 12 steps then weight savings would add up a bit since the strap and metal buckle weighs as much as the step.
With twice as much amsteel you could tie in with just a loop on one end like folks did the strap on steps made of 2x4 wood with a hole drilled through them.
More a thought experiment I guess.
