Logistically, how do you prepare for hunts where that will be the case?

This is something I've struggled with since I started hunting a few years back. Sometimes the walk to my hunting spot isn't that far, so it's a non-issue. But sometimes the walks are deep into public land and I may or may not be lugging a tree stand. Or, more notably, once per season I'll be invited up to a property in the mountains where it is very cold, the trek is very long and the hills are very steep.

Basically, the point is that, one way or another, I'm going to be working up a good sweat, and the weather is going to be cold. That means packing out my heavy clothing (sometimes along with a tree stand), which, along with a gun, makes the hike more burdensome.

Even with my outer layers packed, the base layers are pretty much going to get pretty damp, regardless of their moisture wicking abilities. Let's assume a long, hard hike up into the mountains where you will sweat a ton. When you reach your destination, is it better to "hope" that your moisture-wicking layers will do their job, or is it better to wear something else for the hike and pack ALL hunting clothing, then strip down to the buck and put your wet clothes in a ziplock bag and then put on all your hunting clothing?

Of course, for the scent-control freak crowd, how does that work? I mean, you are sweating. Profusely. No matter what you do, you are gonna be putting out some serious scent. I'm not poking at you...I have not made up my mind either way about scent control aside from watching the wind. I'm just curious what you all do in this type of situation.

I'm hoping there is a genius here who has figured it all out!
