RE: Bicycles, Binocs, and glasses
This post reminds me of a project I had going for a short time last year.
Have any of you Summit treestand owners figured out a way to modify the stand so that it becomes the deer cart? I envision adding a set of wheels to either side of the stand and a hitch for the bike. You could bungee your bow, backpack, and eventually your deer to the stand.
It sure would be nice to ride across the 7 mile state game land road near me where NOONE likes to walk to. The deer back there are unmolested and ripe!
On the binocular note, I use those fancy binocular straps that they sell to alleviate nech ache and they work great. I have a big goony pair of binos that I use (cause I can't afford to buy a nice small set) and they stay well out of the way when I'm shooting. I've tried them on the 3D course many times.
That's a nice cart akaSharkey.....maybe I should concentrate my efforts of attaching the hitch and wheels to a similar bed like yours.

About your binos.... I use the chest strap. It's made from elastic webbing and keeps the binos right in front. I wasn't too sure about it when I first started using it- thought it was another gadget. But this gadget really works. Since your binos are always right next to your body it avoids that big swing when you stand up. I know Eagle Optics sells them but probably so will Cabelas and Bass Pro. Cool bike set up.

I have also thought about using my bike this year. It can make my half mile trip faster, maybe even a little quieter and it won't leave near as much scent on the ground!!
