This is very good advice. All stands should have these type of straps to make the upper section more stable. The rope or bungee attaching the two sections is a thing of the past.
You can get the LW stabilizer straps here. I like them better than the thirdhand straps (No Metal Buckles). I pull mine very tight so the top part of the stand has no movement and they have never broken.

Actually, a better idea would be to go on the Lone Wolf treestand site and order a set of their cinch-straps that they use for their climbing stands. There is alsoa video showing how they work. This would not only take care of the situation you describe but also enable you to really secure the stand once you have reached your desired hunting height. I think the straps are about $12.00. When I had a Lone Wolf sit and climb, they really helped stabalize the stand after you had reached your hunting height. These straps will work on any stand. Hope this helps.
