Good ideas. I like the universal carrier. One essential mod for me personally is the bk universal straps there two straps that connect the top to the bottom parts of the climber. Makes everything really solid and feels safer then just having the one bungee cord connecting the top and bottom of the climber together.

I love my summit climber. I had to replace the original carry straps that came with the stand and those were jus plain old straps I thought abt buying the universal strap but settled for the bungee straps instead and I'm happy with them. I also bought the surround seat to replace the original seat and I'm not disappointed. I'm waiting for my summit deluxe bag to come in, I was a little iffy as to how it would be and how much it would hold but now I'm sold and exited to get it in the mail.

Those Summit stands are extremely comfortable, great explanation Duane- You know I can't help but to mention I like the LW better!- LOL I do own a Summit Viper & modified it to be quiet, I will make a video on it, killed many deer over the years out of the Summit climbers.

Great job buddy

Duane, love the channel man great reviews on awesome products.

Dude, you’re killing it selling the Summit accessories, and I’m a little embarrassed to say I now have all you featured here with the exception of the footrest, which I’d probably buy for my mini if it wouldn’t make it weigh as much as my other two Vipers. I’ve used the deluxe front storage pack maybe a couple of seasons now and love it! Just got the Surround Seat, the universal packing straps, and evidently I accidentally added the ultimate hooks to my cart 😂. As long as the surround seat holds up I think it’ll be really nice, and I can say the same for the packing system. I usually use a molle kidney belt for sharing the load on my full size Vipers but you have to take the seat off. For me the Summit packing system is great if you can get the stand to ride high enough for you. I’m 5’9” and I attached the middle buckles one bar lower than they suggested. If you want to carry a Viper even higher, you can use the universal packing straps to pack the stand upside down, which works great with a Hazemore net seat or if you’re willing to wait to install the Summit seat at the tree.

The footrest is interesting. 2 lbs is a lot but it will likely allow you to stay on stand much longer.

I love my summit climber BUT I have to adjust the seat so I am sitting higher up than normal, or tilt the top section of the stand down, so when I draw my bow my string does not hit the bar of the stand. Have you noticed this at all?

Those backpack straps, does it look like you could turn the stand the other way and put them on? I had to put my straps on my stands upside down because I have shorter legs and wear high rubber boots hunting and my boot kept hanging up on the v tooth that grabs the tree. So I'd have to install it upside down if I purchased one.

How to make a heavy stand heavier.

Turn the bag around on the front and then you don’t have to reach over the rail.

To bad there foot rest weighs over 3lbs id love it if they made an lighter model
