I bungee strap all my gear (minus bow) in a camel back bag onto my stand. I also use a headlamp for morning hunts. I wear usually bibs with a t-shirt. I spray down with home made scent elimination at the truck and tree. Once I get to the tree, I hook up my lowering line to my bow and get to climbing the tree. Once I'm set, I change my t-shirt, put on any additional clothes, and raise my bow. Works for me.
