I want to put a single step aider on all 6 of my sticks (API) after I cut them down. Any ideas on material/sewing techniques for the aider?

Maybe 1/2" flat tubular webbing? Seems you could easily make it to stay open for your foot . Just a thought.I want to put a single step aider on all 6 of my sticks (API) after I cut them down. Any ideas on material/sewing techniques for the aider?

Use one aider that is moveable. Saves weight and much easier to packI want to put a single step aider on all 6 of my sticks (API) after I cut them down. Any ideas on material/sewing techniques for the aider?

I use a 5-step aider with my wild edge steps and love my climbing system.

I have holes in my steps. I use the adjustable aider from wild edge. It has a clip I put through the hole in my top step. I move it up as I climb up. You could easily make an aider out of tubular webbing and do the same thing but it wouldn’t be as adjustable.Sounds much better- suggestions on material? High tinsel strength strap with mini carabiners? The steps on the API’s are billeted so I could clip and climb and unclip. Thoughts?

Checking in from Alexandria
It's all about your comfortability being next to a tree. I think all of us Louisiana boys need to meet up at Sherburne for instance for a full day of rifle shooting and bow shooting and trading off ideas and techniques of using our saddles and climbing techniques in the tree.I don’t have WE steps but I think a 5 step aider is still out of my novice ballpark.

I bought my aider, got it in the mail and that afternoon I used it with three of my Wild Edge steps to get 22 feet up and hunted on that very first climb and felt great about the system I used.I don’t have WE steps but I think a 5 step aider is still out of my novice ballpark.

Y’all are going to make me buy more saddle hunting gear. My wife is going to kill me
Don't let your wife talk to my wife for crying out loud. She will blow that fibb right out the water!I’m starting fresh so I’m already in trouble.
My only saving grace is that I may be losing my lease this year which is why I’m switching to a saddle.
So for my wife, I just tell her I ONLY need $500 for a saddle and gear instead of $950 for the lease... I’m saving us money

Revisiting this; I like the idea of the clip on moveable aider, but one like this WE aider would work with 2 clips for my API’s. A single clip would only hook onto one side of the bottom step and I could see the potential for side loading causing the stick to slide sideways. Thoughts?
I can buy some tubular webbing and clips and make my own- but I really like the metolius 4 step aiders if I can clip it on both sides of the bottom step. Anyone have one of these?
