[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1955766, member: 17889"] I like an arca style carbon fiber (for light weight) tripod (have several brands; some double as trekking poles/bipod or monopod....buyer's choices galore) adjustable from prone to standing. Use two point rifle sling with center wrapped once around tripod leg. Adjust angle and tension with twist of sling wrap with support hand. Depending upon height and time to set up, use pack suspended from tripod (touching ground for no swing) for stability. Or, use ratchet strap (or other adjustable strap) from tripod hook down to an "eye tent stake" pushed/driven into ground at an angle. Rather than the sling twist method, some use sling from rifle fore end to their belt for stability. I haven't been as successful with this method. I've also hunted with fellows using one of the Caldwell Shooting pods......a tripod with a two point rifle cradle (fore and aft). Not too heavy, especially if "horseing in"......use second scabbard for the Caldwell....legs in scabbard; cradle out alongside scabbard. I often use glassing bar on the tripod to mount spotting scope or ranging binos for glassing/ranging for longer periods. Actually pack a carbon leg tripod/triangular fabric seat to ease the ole knees for extended glassing. Watch on Youtube "The Precision Rifle Sling" for several options of sling/tripod.
