Lone Wolf Alpha question
You guys that have one and the LW sticks how do you carry the sticks with the stand. I know what the web site video shows but when Iwrap the bottom strap around the bottom 2 times andfigure 8 that top strap like they show the stand opens up. For me that does not hold the standand seat poleclosed. Am I doing something wrong here? What I do is just run both straps from the stand aroundthe standand sticksand through the backpack strapsso you can still put it on your backand it all is held tight together.

Make sure the seat faces down when you put it on your back. I started using this way of strapping this season and it's awesome. Love that everything is built right into the stand.

I use a rubber bungee cord. I lay it on the stand, lay the stacked sticks on it and in the proper spots on the stand and then bring one side of the bungee up and over to the other side of the stand and hook it. Then I bring the other side of the bungee up and over while stretching it and hook it to the other side. It probably takes less than a minute to do this and it is quiet while packing the setup. I also take my pack and hook the shoulder straps over the top part of the stand and then it lays against the sticks. That way I can carry the stand, sticks and pack very comfortably for long distances (1.2 miles one wayis the longest so far).
If you think pictures would help I'll take some later today and post them.

Rick, I use the Assault so its basically strapping and packing the same. Too much trouble for me using the stand straps. I simply use two bungi cords and criss cross them in an X pattern with the X just below a versa button. No way can it slip down and fast and easy to attach/detach. Quiet too.

RE: Lone Wolf Alpha question
I havn't put the backpack straps on because I am getting the padded ones so I havn't had the setup on my back yet. I just found that when I picked the setup up it unfolded if I did it the Lone Wofe way. Useing their straps is good for getting the straps out of the way but I think I will use bungle cords.
Greg (Couger) how do you keep the straps quiet?
