I've got stands all over, from about 50 yards from the house to some are 5 or 6 miles away but I hardly ever walk more than a half mile to get to the first one I'm going to hunt.

You'd be surprised how a GPS or a map will shrink some of these mile walks all the way down to about 1300 feet. By the same inverse rule of proportion a 150 pounds of dead weight will expand that 1300 feet to about 2 or 3 miles.
