I insist on having 1 step on my strong side of my Predator strap. But Ameristeps or Squirrel steps dont stay put along the strap while I set the stand. They almost always need adjusted to how far from the platform that I like it. My general preference is usually about 10-12 inches from the platform. But as I maneuver the strap during the hanging process, the step usually slips along the strap to a different location. Not really a big deal, but it does consume a few seconds to relocate the step where I want it....sometimes, wasted seconds are critical when setting a stand.
I put a little loop of shock cord on the strap and it works great. The loop should be just tight enough to hold the step in place during the hanging process, but also be loose enough so the step can be repositioned if desired.
BTW, zip ties are THE BEST cord locks for shock cord. They dont break, and if zipped to the right tension, the cord is still adjustable. If you want it non adjustable, then zip it as tight as you can...instant shock cord loop.
This step lock system also works well on a ROS.
I used orange cord because that is what I had but I like it for seeing the step in low light conditions.
