RE: What does everyone bring to there stand
Bow hanger and pull-up rope are on all my stands.
PERMIT(am I the first one?)
knife
gerber multi-tool(I take one everywhere)
tru-talker
compact binocs
small flashlight== these are with me every single time, but I've carried a rangefinder, water, extra gloves, handwarmers, antlers, scents, 'can', LED headlamp, pruners, gerber exchange-a-blade saw(love it).
I've never taken any food with me, It's not all that hard to go sunup to sundown without food.
