But you didn’t say it in coonass so I didn’t understand! Lol

That is what he just made. Minus the speed buckle. @Ontariofarmer has that aider. He may be able to comment.How about an adjustable one step aider like this one. With a knaider on the other leg.

What is the difference between the right and the left? I've looked at them for a while but haven't pull the trigger.Exactly - Just an easy way to buy one that works well. Yes @Ontariofarmer gave me the idea- I was going to give him credit- should of. I bought a left and a right and found them easy to use once I watched the video from metolius.
I am not into using the stepp for the easy aider, I would rather girth hitch the tree. Still would work with the knaider swimmingly.
Once you get your system down, you should climb some of those not so ideal trees in the background (i.e. real hunting trees). You may find yourself trying new things or mixing and matching everything you have learned. A real test for any climbing method is crooked/leaning and a lot of limbs.I tried cinching the whoopie but it is too thin. Once under load it really cuts into the boot. So I made it out of webbing. Sewed a loop for the foot. Stays nice and tight and it does not hurt the foot. Metal thingy on other end so you can adjust if needed. Carabiner is clipped to my harness until I need to hook in. Works well. Another video will get posted tomorrow or the day after to show how it works. I have climbed the tree so many times today that I was afraid of making a mistake. Great idea guys. Sometimes simple just works. Pete

Interesting. That isn't good. I thought the bulk would be minimal being primarily webbing. I like the ease of adjustability. I need to reevaluateThat aider adjusts easily but it is bulky and busy . It would likely work

I usually carried some webbing aiders on the bottom of my pack for emergency decent. I'm hoping to substitute these emergency aiders for some more practical aiders to be used on a as needed basis with the stepps.The colour and the direction of the foot buckle and adjustment handle.
I really do not know which aider to go with. Multi step aider or these or flingin aider or the knee aider
Short sticks long sticks. The list never ends

Here is the latest iteration to be tested as soon as I get through my appointments today. I figured I would put it up here so people can make suggestions before I put all my faith in my linemans belt and try this thing. Carabiner gone and replaced with just a hook. Bungee attached that will clip to harness. It will keep some tension on hook initially, then it should let up as I climb, should retension and automatically unhook. Probably not, but that is the idea.

I like this latest version. I wonder a bit about how much the bungee will stretch as you extend your leg. The simplicity is excellent.
I also wish the depth/engagement of the hook was deeper. I understand the required flat orientation of the hook, it would set my mind at ease to have it engage more deeply, thereby minimizing the chance of a shake or stutter step disengaging it.
A lone wolf easy hang hook is deeper and coated. I had some in my hunting bone yard.I like this latest version. I wonder a bit about how much the bungee will stretch as you extend your leg. The simplicity is excellent.
