I have some old Rapid Rails when Wayne P. was still makin them. I really like them EXCEPT that dang Chinese slip knot. Didn't someone post on here how to change out this hollow rope system and go to buckle and strap?/ thanks
TTT for Joebuck...Somebody should know......
Hey,
ttt for me too.
I somehow lost one of the straps from my set.
Wait a minute, I thought Joey was the "fact" man?
Call me stuip what whats a Rapid Rail.
Rapid Rail is a climbing stick kinda like the Lone Wolf sticks but looks more like a ladder...
I sent an email to Ameristep about this...Here's their reply:
"WALLY ,THESE WILL NOT CONVERT AS THE STRAP SYSTEM HAS A CLIP THAT GOES INTO BRACKETT THAT IS WELDED ONTO THE RAPID RAIL THANK YOU AMERISTEP".
Steve O..i got some darn good detectives :) .....thanks Wally.....i went to this three knots. i'm trying them out and i love it.it is so fast and easy....Same principle as Seat of Pants system.

Joey, you are the MAN ;)
No way, you killed the last turkey!!! your on top!
Joey, I just got some ratchet straps and did a loop around on the one side and the hook goes on the other...ratchet is on the back of the trunk.
I taped over the ratchet "guts" and dipped the thing in plasti-dip to quiet it up some and take the shine off the brassy part.
Wasn't there a guy here selling the slip rope as the better option?
