Ameristeps to one stap platform conversion?

[Billy Buck]

I have 3 ameristeps, all have a separate cinch strap, I would like to put them on one strap for a platform like I saw in a Boswell video, any suggestions what to buy and do this?

A lot of people use an overcenter boat buckle. There is a sticky on these under this topic. And some, like myself, just use a ratchet strap.

If you go with a ratchet strap, you will need a "continuous loop" ratchet strap. (no hooks)

Thank you for the link. I'm not satisfied with the OCB and was wanting to try the endless ratchet.

You can cut 2 of them off and put them on the third strap. Take the buckle off that strap and put whatever ratcher or OCB you want on the strap. If you are careful and cut the threads out of the small strap holding the step in place rather than cutting the strap you can have 2 backup straps for your setup.

This is what I did and it works great
