I wimped out...

I gave the shotgun sling a good test today, and it worked like a dream!
Oh, I got a cheap dog collar from Dollar Store to keep the legs together---it was the smallest one they had and a nifty electric blue color.
The padding on the shotgun sling was a joy though! I lugged it from the Lewis Creek trailhead on 41 down to a couple of locations at Corlieu Falls then back up.
Definitely a thumbs up for this one!

The older version of Manfrotto's shoulder strap have a 3/8" stud with a swivel that screw into the top of the tripod. I've used one with 3 different tripods now for 25 years or so.

I have, in the past, bought camera bags at a Pawn Shop for low bucks. sometimes just for the dividers or the straps.

Here in Houston, Collector's Firearms has a bargain grab bag with used rifle cases, holsters and straps at clearance prices (you can sometimes negotiate the price down).

For moving around my wooden tripod, I have trussed up the legs with nylon dog collars and snapped the swivel clips of an old hippie-style camera strap to the rings on each collar.

Great idea! I have one similar for my old double barrel shotgun. Now have a new use for it.
