How in the heck do you folks get your stuff to your spot in one trip?
I hunt mountainous public land and use a hang-on tree stand. My stand has backpack straps, but I also like to have a pack for my gear. I typically carry water (camelback bladder), food, stuff to make a fire, binoculars, scent, calls, knife, ammo, etc. Currently, I strap my hydration pack containing all this stuff to the back of my stand using the strap-on steps I carry. However, this is tedious to load/unload and doesn't offer any addtional space for extra clothing. Add a gun to this and you're talking about a cumbersome load. Frequently, I try to get my stand to my spot the night before and just haul my hydration pack up in the morning.
How do you guys do it? Are there any packs made for use with a stand, maybe something designed to strap directly to the stand?
