For fu cks sake..... Try a "damn rifle" in your hands with this 85lb load on a 45* slope in spruce blow-down hell... I know because I did it yesterday unlike someone on the internet running their mouth on a subject they have no experience with... Yesterday's: Last year's: The year before: The year before that: Very nice.

Smoke, thanks.
I gave Ted's "Sling Stud" a thorough workout. It was great. I like it as well as my own design, and I think his "Franken Stud" (which is wider than the one I used) would be better than both.
When humping a normal 50lb pack on normal terrain, the keeper holds it in place nicely. When negotiating really steep terrain, tucking the sling under the sternum strap in addition to the keeper (sling stud) is the way to go. When the load gets ridiculous and the terrain even worse, that's the ONLY way to go.

Well, I've encouraged him to do so. I think his is a terrific design. Here's his (the new version is wider): Mine:

For fu cks sake..... Lighten up Francis. There's lots of times when you don't want your rifle in your hands. Like climbing a steep slope in the dark before shooting hours. Or packing a load of meat out, with your tag punched. That's when I wish I had that contraption on my pack.. past weekend hauled a 85lb pack full of meat good and it sucked
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Does Ted sell those things? Ted is kind of a somofabitch when it comes to things He gives them away to friends and family. Sells them for cost to nice strangers. Won't sell them for any price to some. There are only a couple that are on the later list.....sorted out over members telling me "how it is" or "what I am/or not" I dont have any landowner ML plains mule deer tags to give away....just machining skills The 5th generation Frankenstud Slingamarig is simple, efficient and weighs very little 420 SS throughout or Aluminum with a SS screw The St. Louis Cardinals have kicked the Cubs azz my entire life..... I hope they win the world series this year....but savor the flavor It wont happen again next year

For fu cks sake..... Yes, rifle in hands, bino's in the backpack. Just like all the "old timers" thought us. I'm betting only a handful of guys will see the humor..You aint one of them.

What works well and is cheap and good still works well and is cheap and good. So, you've done it with velcro? Read my previous posts.

even What works well and is cheap and good still works well and is cheap and good. So, you've done it with velcro? Read my previous posts. It was a rhetorical question. Let me ask it a little more directly: If you've never done it, how do you know that it works well?
