Dumb question?

Maybe not, depending on the answer. Picked up a ROS a couple years ago (squirrely) and haven't used them yet. Come with a OCB. Here's the question. Anyone ever use something like a USA strap on them? Feasible? It is thin I know.

Are you talking about just a basic ratchet strap? If so, I tried it when I was playing with ROS and found it to be the easiest and most secure way to hold the steps to the tree.

No, amsteel. https://amsteelguy.com/product/ultimate-stick-attachment/

I haven't tried it but a U.S.A. didn't get very tight for me. Ok for sticks but I wonder if the steps wouldn't shift when you transfer weight to them, since it's got a little slack in it

Nope. OCB buckle with strap or a ratchet strap for me.

I've tried an amsteel daisy chain and one of those nite ize camjams with a couple ewo steps with my platform and I couldn't get it tight enough. They kept twisting when I put one foot on them. I changed to an ocb buckle and strap. Much tighter on the tree

Should've mentioned that my mission platform is on its own usa pro mod for the strap. So the ocb buckle and strap is for the steps only

It ain't gonna work .

Sorry. That’s right. Forgot about that thing.

Just use the ocb, it’s the best trade off for weight yet still stable.

Thx, better safe than saving ounces. Mainly looking for quieter in the early am.

Why? Put the steps on the platform strap…..it’s perfect!

Genius idea. What platform is that?

That looks like a hawk apex platform to me

I added a few steps to the strap on my predator at the tail end of these season. I can say I wish I would have added them sooner.

I don’t like having my steps higher than my platform so I use a separate ocb strap.

Doubt the steps would be much more than couple inches higher than platform if using squirrel style steps which have drop to them.
