i just got the Alpha and 4 sticks and used them for the last couple week of the season. Loving them so far. I use them with dog hunting and we put on 2 or 3 hunts a day, so i have had some good practice trying to figure out a system that works for me. While that system is still a works in progress i have noticed some of the straps used to hang the stand and sticks are showing some signs of use (nothing bad). I dont expect them to give me any problems anytime soon. But i was just thinking, how long do the straps generally last you? and do u have an extra or two incase one fails? or any extra/backup things you have for the set up? I figure this spring/summer i will be practicing set up and take down and get everything together.
