First time Knaider/Swaider and my WE Stepp mods.

[Limbbender]

I ordered a Knaider/Swaider from @JCLINE84 early last week and it arrived today. Fit and finish are awesome. I also took the time to modify my WE Stepps to make them more secure when climbing.

I started by adding 4 zip-ties to each step spaced evenly apart and cut off the tag ends. I then took some camo vet tape I picked up at tractor supply and wrapped the ties and the rest of the stepps to help deaden the metal on metal noise.

I adjusted the straps to the lengths for me and added a couple carabiners and a bungee and gave it a go.

Other than needing a longer lineman rope it was fairly straight forward. I will definitely be practicing more and hope to use it in some upcoming hunts for the remainder of the season

I had to go to a 10 foot long lineman's belt when I use the knaider method myself.

That's a great idea. Gonna add this to my Stepps

That is a fine looking product he turned out. I like the idea of using the zip ties

Beauty idea.
As an alternative, you could twist up hockey tape and lay it out in place of the zip ties, then overwrap with tape - just like the handle grip on a hockey stick.
