Default Gorilla Greyback climber

I just started using one of these, great stand. so far i made the following modifications. (1) i took the strap off that goes behind your heels and replaced it with a stronger bungie cord. (2) i took the strap off that holds the two stand sections together, i found this strap was getting in the way of the teeth on the platform when you climbed and would eventually cause you to slip. (3) i tied a large knot in the ends of the straps that lock the stand sections to the tree, if you don't do this, the clips WILL fall off. and last but not least, if you fold both sections flat and use ratchet straps it works better then the way they suggest. the hammock seat works great if you do not stand a lot, it will move back on you and you have to readjust each time.
