I carry 10 tree steps that weigh 5 lbs total in my fanny pack. The weight around my waist doesn't bother me...it's the 25 lbs of climber and stuff I hold in it that makes me sweat. Walking in with this little weight on my back is a breeze, my climbable trees has gone up dramatically and after a little practice it doesn't take me much more time than my climber to get set up.

I can't wait to use it in a "live" hunting situation.
