I use one of those cheap orange deer drag harnesses that you get at Dick's for like $10-15, put a clip on it and I'm good to go, tow a sled that up to probably 75-80 lbs or so with no issues.
i fish because i can

I have something similiar that a lady made for me and yes it does help quite a bit.  Their is a D ring on the back that my regular sled rope clips into and I just step into it with a loop going over my neck and the weight of the sled is pulled by your hips.

Get a deer harness of ebay. It makes a ton of difference. About 10$

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

I took the single shoulder strap off an older gear bag clipped to the rope. Works fine and my sled edges near 100lbs loaded up. If that wasn't laying around, Id have bought a deer drag harness.

I took/repurposed  and trimmed up an old tree stand safety harness ...I was tripping over these things with the several harnesses I got with the tree stands I purchased over the years .
