Very happy with stud after 5 days afield in MT. Worked well.

Only thing I screwed up and would recommend to others, put a bunch of weight in your pack before you figure out where to mount it. I didn't do that and it ended up kinda high on my shoulder strap and it fought my pack position when I had real weight (Elk quarters) in my pack.

Not a fault of the product, a fault of the end user. Just giving those out there a heads up on that.
