I have seen some configure a rope sling on the shovel that allows for over the shoulder carrying but I have not figured out a way to keep the rope/webbing from getting in the way once actively shovelling. I am searching for a configuration that works. Please offer your ideas and experiences. Obviously this must go through the bottom blade holes and the handle but must not impede shovelling either. I need a solution.

I try to get as light as I can when skinning laps, maybe I've got it all wrong? It's just that it seems way more comfortable, maybe that's the problem with us Americans... Geez….
