WE Step Rope Mod

It’s inevitable that the heart of DIY turn into something of the past here. The influx of people and their (unneeded/wanted) opinions will change the dynamics of this place.

This place has always been like family. It’s the primary place I check daily. I spend majority of my time here when online. Though I don’t know any of these guys other than o line, I thoroughly enjoy their virtual friendship.

Some general guidelines to replying to someone else’s post:
1) Be nice.
2) refer to number 1 before posting.
3) Ask yourself if this is something the post was even about.
4) Ask yourself, Is my post beneficial to the individual I’m replying to?

These basic guidelines have always been the heart of this place. Let’s keep it there.

Very well stated!
 
Mr. Peter,

I don't know you, but I do know of your innovation. You have inspired hundreds if not thousands of DIY'ers. I have watched your videos endlessly, and studied your ideas. Please, continue to experiment before our eyes, and let us gain knowledge from your brilliant mind. We need people like you here to keep this place the way it was ideally meant to be. Just my 2 cents.
 
@Peterk1234 this is a GREAT idea. I just ordered some WE Stepps (thanks to your "advertisement" here) and this is the first order of business when they are delivered!!! THANK YOU!
 
So to help @Peterk1234 out with some of the research on this, I went out on this wintry day to try out my suggestion.

It works, I have a feeling that the flat hook will work better and more consistent, but if anyone is looking to try this out they might already have a strap and a hook.

My thought is: I am probably not going to modify my Stepps this way because they're working fine for me as is. I am actually moving away from the Stepps and more towards sticks lately because I can't get over how the Stepps chew up the tree bark. That said, the adjustment capability on this is amazing and I think folks are going to have to resist the urge to go too tight because it is so easy.

Will edit this post with pictures momentarily. I don't have my own documentarian so all you will get is pictures! ;)

Is an OCB possible in this application? Buckle part (short) sewn to one side and strap part (long) sewn to the other. Dano has ones with no metal hook part and it just threads into itself. Might slow the process but eliminates the buckle to hook contact.

I thought about it, and I do not think that would be a winning combo. My thinking is you have two things that want to be cammed over so getting them right will be difficult. I suppose you could the step in place and then tighten the OCB, but I don't see myself liking that better than the other ideas.
 
Why not this? 4400 lb rating. $35. Your hook one of the hooks onto the strap and hand yourself the other hook. Hook it over the step. Cam it over. Be happy. I think I'll try it. Any objections?
