That's B.S. For best results it should be practiced in the gear your going to wear with the gear your going to use starting with it packed on your back. Go from there to tree and up eliminating as many wasted moves as possible until you can do it in the dark.
When you can do it over and over the same way your good to go. Just figuring out how to pack it is a chore worth doing right.
All of it sleuthing your way in.
Personally I can get up a tree with 2 squirrels in each hand and 2 strapped to each foot but I'm unusual.
