Lone Wolf stand set-up question

[medicsnoke]

Ite, heres the deal. I think Im pretty good at hanging tree stands. I hang stands for all my buddies and Im like a monkey in a tree. But yesterday I was out practicing putting up my new Lone Wolf and LW climbing sticks, and Im not seeing how you guys hang this set with out making alot of noise. All the webbing and metal clinch straps kept pinging or hitting the stand and whatnot. Some one give me an idea of how they go about setting this set for a slide in and hunt set-up. Also, do you carry the sticks and stand seperate to the tree or back pack them both together? I hung the set in about 7 minutes. 3 sitcks and got 17 ft up in a good branchy tree.

Snnnnnnoke,
Here is the way I go in...

The only difference is that now instead of the cabelas pack I have a Badlands 2200 which in my opinion is a better option for me...same principal with the batwings.

As far as the ping, I put mole skin on the buckles and don't have a problem.

My set up is VERY similar to Limb's. My general rule of thumb is that I NEVER hurry when setting a stand up, that's how accidents happen. Noise hasn't been a problem for me when I get everything cinched down on the Cabela's pack. Good luck bud, keep practicing and it'll get easier and easier.

Thanks for the reply's Limb and Muddy, I'll get me some moleskin today and see what I can do.
