My Summit Climber's tree teeth seem to hook into my boots when I try to walk. Even walking through average brush, it still seems to cut. Now I have several holes in my Muck boots. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions

I agree with mojotex and wrackmaster...I have the summit titan and I use the folded seat on my butt for comfort and also keep the stand from doing what it is doing to you right now...also, make sure you pull your straps tight after you have the climber on your back...this will keep it tight to your body....it sounds like a very easy fix...just follow some of the instructions on this post, and you should be fine.

As the others have said, sounds like you have the stand hanging too low from your shoulders. If I remember correctly, the old steel Summits from several years back carried a little different. The cables and teeth pointed up and above your head. I personally thought they were easier to carry and have thought about swapping my shoulder straps around and try carrying my Goliath like that. Course it could be I was a few years younger too.
