I'm getting use to the stand and love it. I think I'm going togo with a ratchet strap to bundle the stands together. I'm going to look for some backpack straps and get those attatched. My next question is, how many of you honestly use your safety harnass while climbing up? I have used mine both times, but it is somewhat restricting, but for good measures. I have the full body harnassand when I'm standing I have a hard time shooting back towards my right. It will have to work.
