Tubes on the buckles is nice. Stand to seat silencing like in the video above is a must. I used the furniture pads that have a sticky back. I must have lost a couple, cause on my last hunt I had to walk with my hand holding the seat and that sucks. The idea of the rubber taped so it went come off is a great idea. Tear the stand down and wax all washers. They will be fine this hunt, then squeak louder than the shriek of a red tailed hawk when you go out on the next hunt. Its like no warning, quiet today, loud tomorrow. I plasti-dipped my sticks and doubt it did much good. DO NOT try to fill sticks with spray foam, it does nothing but make a mess. I've never tried stealth strips but the concept makes sense. The factory seat sucks! The gorrila is better, but not great. Im the type that can't sit on bleachers for any amount of time and that's what the stock seat feels like. I will try the hunt more this year. I love my raptor straps, but they are no longer made. They make silent packing of sticks to stand, as they have no metal or plastic. The gorrila seat is thick and the sticks don't pack down as well as the stock seat. I prefer to lay the sticks on their side now and strap am down like that.
