I've whittled down what I carry to a fanny pack that is supported by shoulder straps. I have to hike up steep hills both in NY & NJ so I strap all my layers of clothes to the pack. Once I'm in my stand I place a hook on my non-shooting side that is easily accessible while I am sitting. That way I minimize any movement when I do need something (water bottle, grunt call, etc.) The less I have out of the pack the less I'm likely to play with (yeah there's a little ADHD there) and have it get in the way at the wrong time.
