If you use step aiders then check this out.

I have a sneaking suspicion there will be a few more tricks with this type of sling.

This looks like an easy and effective mod. Thanks

BTW - Bowhunter15 was the guy you talked about with the original paracord video.

Thanks Bowhunter15 , DaveT1963 your opinion is welcome anytime . Thank You also .

SloMo, can you do a closeup of how you inserted the zip tie?

Hope this (pics) explain things

 

[Red Beard]

Thanks SloMo! Did you make a hole (small slit) in the webbing itself? Or did you just work the zip tie through the webbing?

So I bought two of those loops to use as a bridge for my sitdrag saddle, guess I’ll buy a few more.. but how does this perform versus 1 in tubular webbing? You can put 11-13 mm rope in the webbing. I like the idea please don’t getme wrong, just wondering about cost effective ( heck it’s too late now , right?)

I just very gently worked the zip tie until it went in . Took seconds

Slick idea.

I slid a castration band over the sling to make a smaller foot hold with the zip tie

I was thinking about that . How far up the sling did you locate it and how big are your feet ?

 

[GiGisDaddy]

Ha! Down far enough to make a 8 year inch or close circle I wear a 13 boot

 

[SloMo]

Perfect . Exactly my size . Great idea.

I rolled it down from the top where the ends are stitched, was tough over the stitching but smooth sailing after that. I used some bigger zip ties and were a little tougher to start but the runners finally gave in

Old man safety caution:

You’re splitting it open (just a little) to slide the zip tie in. Using tubular webbing, inserting the reinforcement (rope is safer...won’t cut into the fibers) and then tying it into a sling is more structurally sound.

Thank you for the idea! I made 7 total with WE steps and they work great. I can get to around 23' with 7. No trouble getting my feet in them because of the zip tie idea going up and down!

High-strength, space-age, polymer microcinch fasteners to the rescue again!! Give me zip ties and a pair of channel locks and I can do things that would make Macgyver's head explode!

Ex Navy chief bomb tech... Zip ties and coffee and I could save the world! Hahahaha

Made 4 of these to go on my DIY Double Step sticks. It's wild how easily the zip ties slip into the aiders and how well they work to keep the loops open. I'll be running that setup this fall on the sits where I want to drag in sticks. Will run a CMI 5-step aider on my Wild Edge Stepps when I need to go in light.

I know . At first I thought it was too easy also. Glad to see u are using them . Nice. Thanks for posting.

SloMO just got these aiders finished and climbed with them. Im shocked at how nice they worked out! Thanks for posting this, the aiders were awesome,evrything you described them to be!

 

[SloMo]

Awsome . I love them . just the right thing for me. Glad you enjoyed them too.
