Which straps to help carry a climber?

[burtle]

Hey guys so I ordered the Summit Viper SD finally.

I\'ve heard nothing but great things about the stand so pulled the trigger to get one.

I used CHEAP ladder stand last year and I couldn\'t stay more than two hours in one. The seat was about 12\"x8\" and the foot platform was a little bigger. Cheap 60.00 stand. I got rid of it and upgraded I\'d say.

Hoping this stand is great as everyone says.

Which straps should I get to help carry it ? I will be walking 1-2 miles one way with it on my back.

I would tie the stand on an old backpack that has some sort of padded straps over just some nylon straps
Heck, strap it on your daypack or pack frame

I usually just attach mine to a day pack with bungee cords....

Aren\'t you an army guy? Molle 2- Gen 4 frame. It will haul any pack made plus an elk quarter or your tree stand. They are rated for a 100 -120# load. Someday I\'ll post some pictures of how I rigged mine up if I can ever figure out how to do it.

I agree. I have the Summit Goliath and have used the straps with it. They are ok for a short trip but I would strap it to a real pack like Brad and Bill said.

I just use the straps that are supplied. If not supplied there are several after market straps available.
