The chin stick hold was clutch! Always fun to find the little things we do to get setup.

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

Thanks! it takes the little things like that to make it all work. Thanks for watching!!

Great quality video - content and editing were both well done. Not sure how you don't have more subs, but you have one more now

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

We really appreciate it!! Thanks for watching and the sub!

Just found you and subscribed, I like the way you explained it I just got my whole set up last fall and will be running it this year. I decided on a single aider that stays on each step we'll see how that works

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

Thanks for the sub and good luck out there!

Enjoyed your video.
I run a similar setup/ sticks and aider. Also hate the fact my aider closes up at the attachment point (versa button). Recently, I modified my 3 step Amstel aider so that it attaches to the bottom step. Just as you mentioned in the video.
I spliced a continuous loop at the top of the aider and inserted a piece of tube webbing for chafing.
To attach the aider for climbing. I then loop the aider from the back of the bottom step up and over, so the running end of the aider is laying on top and in front of the step. The aider now doesn’t collapse and is easily removed by flipping the aider off the step via my boot. It made a big difference for me.

Hey Michael, thanks for the comment. Cool idea on how to keep the aider from “collapsing” on itself. Would you mind sharing pictures or a video of your set-up? It would be neat to see another approach. If interested DM our instagram account. We will link below. @Aplha2omegaoutdoors

Been tinkering with some DIY aides myself . Keep it up bud …new sub here

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

Good luck and thanks!

[@tsr_outdoors]

Thanks bud
You too

I have hawk helium sticks, thanks for the info about dixeland bowhunter.

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

No problem!

[@timothyspory6475]

If you could find a way to reattach your aides so the top two attachment points are the same width apart as your aides steps it might not narrow as much.

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

We mite have to give that a try! Thanks for watching.

[@matthewhampton2211]

What size xc did you get? I’m a 32-33 wait and went with the size 2 for the bulky clothes

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Hawk actually makes a platform that goes on the stick but it's not as good I would think but probably a lot cheaper

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

Yes they do, We actually have one in use right now.

[@mrgboxx]

is hanging the aider off the versa button safe?

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

It works for us, but with that said everything has risks and safety is #1 in our book so be safe out there. We test everything we do with multiple contingeny plans in place in case of equipment failure. Thanks for the comment and for watching! be safe out there.

[@keithlambert6217]

No shame in my game either. Another one running a Cruzr with Tetherd pouches.

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

If it works use it! Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@XerGrizZz]

same i have like the same saddle set up the pouches are made better

[@alpha2omegaoutdoors]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching.
