Its not really the weight, it is more the mass. I throw my stand on my back and hang my pack over that. Shoulder straps of pack over jaws of stand. I need room for heavy bibs, 2 layers of coat, safety harness, a thermos, my fanny pack with all the tools/gadgets, a lunch. You know lay all the stuff out you need to hunt all day in 0 degree weather. Lay it all on the floor, now I need a pack that will hold all that crap.
I'm tired just reading that. I applaud you guys who get in good enough shape to do something like this
