Matt said it! Pack the cables into the arm channels as far as you can, make use of all straps and if you need to, buy 1-2 extra straps with clips to further cinch you stand in tight. As well as what Matt said, practice taking your stand apart and repacking. Get it down to a science on how you remove it from the tree, place it on the ground, secure the cables, stack the parts, secure the straps, etc. I can literally unsecure myself from my tree and have my stand packed and secured tightly and on my back within 45 seconds for an easy and quiet exit from the woods.
