Anyone do anything creative to strap the top and bottom parts of their stand together while carrying in woods?

The foam insulation that you use on water pipes works well. I used to just snap it on. I put a little Gorillia glue on the pieces now. They stay where I put em.

I had that noise problem with my API Grand Slam...it turned out to be mostly from the chain hitting the inside of the stand.
I fixed it by replacing teh chain, straps, and stand with a Summit Viper.

Haven't had the problem with the Viper but on my old metal climbers and ladders too, I drilled a hole just big enough for the end of a tube on the expandable foam and shot em full, everywhere there wasn't a bolt or something needed to slide. worked pretty darn good too.

Never met a Summit that I liked as much as my APIs. Climber considerations are so personal - everybody seems to have different needs.
