i dont really mind carrying stuff out to my stand, usually in my backpack i keep: pull up rope, extra release(ive had some bad luck with misplacing my release in the past), spotlight, in the evenings(incase i need to track one in the dark), flashlight, gloves and extra gloves, face mask, sock cap, ummm.... long list... my gerber bone/limb saw, usually an archers allen wrench tool thing, grunt/bleat call, rattle bag, bincocs. Im not a real organised person so i try to keep almost all my stuff together, and take it with me even if i know i wont need it. cause i know if i take it out and set it somewhere, ill forget where it is, or MOM will come along and move it...etc and ill end up in the woods needing it and not having it. A few extra pounds to carry nevery hurt anyone. oh, new item to add to my list, my NEW! Sony Handicam!
