RE: Treestand Pack???
WARedbear....I found something that works great. It's called a Grip Clip or Cable Clip....it's plastic - therefore no metal to metal noise- and is used to hold computer wiring together instead of a tangled mess. Office Max or some type of paper/computer supply store in your area should have them.
When I get in my stand...I use it to clip the loop on my backpack to the arm rest on the stand. The pack is right next to me on the outside of the stand. Easy to get to all my stuff...and being a girl, I have ALOT of stuff.
A computer dude came into my shop with one of these hanging from this belt....so I talked him out of it...works great and at $.99 each, I can leave them on my stands. Hope that helps.
