How are you guys securing/wrapping Amsteel USA's or daisys on Shikar FXD's?

I have a couple questions for anyone running Shikar FXD's and amsteel attachment methods.

1) How are you securing the amsteel to your stick at the loop end? Girth hitch around the post or use the button?
2) How does everyone wrap their amsteel attachment for pack up and transport?

Pics are great! Thanks.
 
Many of the amsteel rope mods you buy have a loop of thin shock cord attached to the end of the amsteel. Once you have it wrapped up, you extend the shock cord to somewhere on the stick and attach it.

Right, but like, where are you wrapping it around the stick such that it doesn't interfere with stacking?
 
I’ve been running the helium sticks with these side brackets, and it’s pretty slick.


I’ve also got a two step Amsteel aider I like because I can leave it on the bottom step and roll it up clean for one sticking(all the strap aiders I’ve tried need to be taken off to fold up)

When I’m using multiple sticks I have the skeletor retractable aiders on them and everything stacks up nice and out of the way, nothing moving around and 4 sticks gets me to 20 ft.
