A few things I have done thus far to eliminate noise with the predator platform is to put some bike tube over the buckle(works great), then I put some pieces of soft side velcro any where the upright and platform make contact. I also had a problem when hauling it, so I tied a piece of 3/8" elastic chord across the bottom of the platform and then when I get ready to transport, I just flip it over and around the upright. I also put some silicone based wax on the hardware where the platform and upright connect. I cant believe how quiet it made everything.
Since no one has received any of their accessories for their saddle yet, I put the two molle style pounches I had already on my saddle and man, do they work great!
Also worth noting, I found a very convenient way to carry my sticks. I slide them down on a strap on the side of my pack and then secure them in with the top buckle. Works very well! Cant believe I never did that last year!
One thing noted above is to carry your sticks attached to your saddle. I am doing this by sticking the top of my sticks(foldable steps) into the lineman's belt loop on each side of the saddle. I did the same with the RCH and it's my favorite by far! I'm hoping to get to put it all to test this weekend!
