Packing LW sticks and mods

[hhgarvey]

I started messing with my LW sticks on different ways to pack them tighter like in this pic. Side by side stack is better. One other thing came to mind. What if you used left over single step as a second step just offset a little bit. Would that be an issue or would it allow you to flip step out of way and still have two steps on stick. Just thinking it through. Trying to reuse step if I cut LW shorter.
Any thoughts. Thanks

I like the idea of stacking them side by side......seeing that I put two on each side of my backpack and strap them in that way.

To make them a little thinner you could rotate the standoffs to make them parallel to the stick....just a thought.

The side by side stacking is nice however with the single steps you will need to create space so your stand off will swivel past your stopper bolt. I would use caution though--at 240# I bent a grade 8 bolt trying this. I am not sure if adding another step close by creating a double step would compromise any strength of your stick.

I tried double steps for my top step. After 1 year now my stick have double steps on the bottom too. Though my steps are fixed and do not rotate, others here have found ways to use knobs to make that happen.

A trick you can try is to use neodymium magnets to hold them together. I am playing around with that now and they hold pretty tight!
