Do you.have the platform at your back or your seat? I have carried mine cables up with the platform to my back for years. I use the cables to help load up on my shoulder when I the woods, makes it niceYou northern folks all tote you summits upside down.
I tote mine the right way…..cables up.
If you hafta perform any high performance maneuvers while carrying your summit, you want your cables up so you don't get a foot caught up in the back swing of a runnin/jumpin high step.
Titan or Goliath. Only way to go, for us full grown fellers.

You guys are way more agile than me!
I was pretty heavy on the sarcasm. Although "stepping" over trees is an issue with the cables down.
I can still do it in my mind, not so much in reality, well, maybe once.
Toby Keith has a song about that I believe.
"not as good as I once was, but as good once as I ever was"
great line!

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to go with the summit viper. It should shave about 9 lbs from what I have now.
Summit!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought one 16 years ago. Climbed up a tree an hour before sunrise and climbed down an 1/2 hour after sundown. Very comfortable and easy to backpack!
Just can't use it anymore due to health. If you lived closer, I would Gift to you.
Semper Fi!!!

I dont know your age and physical shape.... the best way I know to hunt in mobile elevation,lite weight better seeing and moving ability is a saddle/climber set up.... were I able.... I would give all my other stands away...both including some exspensive climbers and use a saddle....

saddles allow exactly that..... with movement as game moves...

I read about the saddle years ago in a book about bow hunting by John & Chris Eberhart and thought it would be a very mobile way to hunt.
I had lower back surgery a long time ago but the pain is awful if sitting too long or in a awkward position so the saddle is out for this guy. Great suggestion though!
Yes I've considered it more than once
