I have a Summit Goliath. It's not heavy, but it's bulky. I've been using the shoulder straps that came with it but they are really uncomfortable and some of my hikes to where my stand will be are well over a mile. I usually just bungee my pack to the tree stand. If I kill anything, it's just horsepower than gets it out along with all my gear. At 55, I'm getting to the point where its just a lot to do. I look at what I'm about to throw and my back and think "that's a lot of stuff right there." A fixed or permanent tree stand is not an option. And I don't want to just ground hunt.

Just wondering what some of you were doing to get all your gear to where you hunt when taking it on an ATV or your truck is not an option. And if anyone knows of any better after market shoulder straps for a big climber.

Thanks.
