RE: how do you all do it
I do about all of the above plus force myself to get out early enough to reach my tree a solid 90 minutes before shooting light. This gives me plenty of time to hook up my climber, stash my sleigher, get dressed, fart,put out some scents, climb up, hang my pack, secure my quiver, snip a branch,cough, eat an apple, get my binos out, put on my hood, nock an arrow, sneeze,nock another arrow, etc. I'm all set an hour beforeshooting light.
Tryingto do the above fast, turns into a Chinese fire drill and really gets me sweating.
