Hey saddle brothers, season opener is next Saturday and I still find myself doing last minute changes to my gear. That being said last year I ran 8 wild edge steps and managed to get about 18ft. Plenty high enough in the right cover. I wanted to pack less steps this year and wanted to purchase an aider. I bought a 4 step aider off amazon and hated it. The stirrups were too small and squeezed my feet to the.point where it was too uncomfortable. Plus I found that it isn't easy using an aider on WE steps bc the carabiner slides back and forth on the rung. Soooooo I decided to make some modifications to the steps and make my own 5 step aider. I will post pics of the mods. Would love to hear your guys thoughts and ideas

I see guys taking cut rubber tube and zip tying it to the rung with a gap in the middle for a carabiner. That keeps it centered. Or wrap the entire rung and use zip ties to keep carabiner in the middle.
I'd say wrap the whole rung so it cuts out metal to metal contact.

The mods I made to the steps worked great but the aider I had to make some changes. When I got to the top step of the aider it got too narrow to get my foot in, I also found that I only really need a three step aider and with 5 steps I can easily get 20 ft
