In doing this I would do away with that metal buckle that likes to clang on everything? The buckle that is on the belt that goes through the vest. I just realized what a newb I am to this staety harness stuff. I hunt out of a climber 100%, bought the vest a couple years ago and just wore it. I just had that feeling it would cost me one day, so I always positioned my stands to make that "blind spot" in the least likely area (downwind). Well guess what, big boy was cruising the edge of a river (downwind) scent checking a small grown up field and went right through it. Would Bass Pro have these items or do you guys have a good website. Thanks for all your help guys.
