This is a good idea but it creates another problem. While it will be easier to step over logs and stuff without getting tripped up.....when you need to duck under limbs or fall downs your stand will be more like to get hung up since it is now higher on your back.

I have a new Summit Goliath and battle these same obstacles.

The best way I have come up with to battle both is by wearing my backpack style fanny pack and then putting my stand on my back. The pack pushes the bottom of the stand out enough where my legs don't get hung up in it anymore.
