I keep a small tree stand screw in hook. something to hang gear on not a climbing step in my vest to screw into something if needed. Just don't care for the bulk of a tripod. Had to make my own stand for the Krakatoa shown in another post. You can come up with something. Even a piece of rod that is threaded and stuck in the ground.
Yep, this.
I often call in areas with little vegetation with enough rigidity to support a Shockwave, so I had a buddy well a bit of 3/16" rebar to a 1/4" bolt that threads into the call. He added a couple cross pieces to aid in insertion (steps) and removal. Works like a champ. There's a picture around here somewhere...
