I used to strap my junk (ie, backpack, extra clothes, etc) to the oustide of my stand with bunjee cords. When I got my Summit Viper, I found an even easier way. After packing the top and bottom sections together, you then have to pull the back rest section back through the stand and strap it back to the top. This makes a convenient place to pack stuff. Just drop your junk between the back rest and the stand and then connect the little bunjees to the top as you already do. Sorry I don't have pictures, but Viper owners should know what I mean......
I do that too! [8D] I have a real small (...I mean tiny) pack for my bow stuff that I attach to my Viper side railing, once it's unpacked and getting setup. It holds my tree hooks, haul line, and a spare release. It hides down inside the Viper's folded seat and platform, when packing.
I did the fanny pack thing, but outgrew it. I bought a nice lightweight daypack in RealTree Hardwoods from Dick's Sporting Goods. It's about the size of a kids' school bookbag/backpack that they use these days. It's nice and holds everything I need, including a spot for spare snacks/drinks. It easily clips/hooks on/bungies to the back of my Viper without any problems.
