Got my replace ropes for my traded for Stepp Ladder steps in Thursday....ans today it's freezing rain up here in MA so no hunting. So I decided to replace the ropes and prep for the week.
The included instructions (& watching Jim do it on YouTube) were super easy to follow. So I got them all replaced easy while watching a Amazon prime doc on Scythian kurgans.
Once done I remembered I had some leftover Amsteel from doing the rope mod on my leverage steps a couple years ago. Dug it out and had about 8 feet +-. So I used the fid that came with the replacement ropes to whip up a whoopie sling to use as an aider for the Stepp ladder.
Gonna first try to girth hitch to Stepp rung and see how that works. (Don't particularly like the idea of carabiner to Stepp metal-metal contact....for safety & sound.)
No hunting on Sundays here in MA so my next opportunity to try them out will be Tuesday. And the season ends on the 31st so this will have to be a quick trial.
