I've always used a back pack... nothing fancy.. just a cheap $20 one from Walmart. It's got several pockets to keep things handy. I just hang my pack on a little hook by my tree stand... and keep everything handy. When I pack in my summit... I have a way that I attach my pack to it..

Never tried a fanny pack.. but did consider the cat quiver IV.. but they're soo exspensive!!!
