The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week. Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday. The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!

I don't remember the name of it but I have a summit that the front rail drops down for bow hunting. I like it. how much does your viper weigh with all that stuff on it?

Not sure of exact weight ... The Molle only adds a pound or two but it distributes the weight like a professional backpack Side bags, front bags, foam fill, foot step, all these things add more weight than the Molle I don't want to pass quietly into the night.

I use it mostly for bow hunting by raising the seat as high as it will go (wish it would go even higher) and not having as much distance between the top and bottom and I use the "seat" only when I need a moment to rest my legs.

Also only weights 19lbs. Haven't had a chance to climb with it yet but I think it is going to be a winner. We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!
