i try to minimize what i carry to my stand. a pull up rope, grunt tube, and maybe a flashlight. i try to stay minimal, the less things you have up there the less you have to worry about. but i would get together a box of bow essentials. you can buy a plano box at Wal-Mart. put some fletching glue, razorblades, extra server, lighter, and a set of allen head wrenches. you need to have something like this in your truck in case something goes wrong. Good Luck!!
