I bungee strap all my gear (minus bow) in a camel back bag onto my stand. I also use a headlamp for morning hunts. I wear usually bibs with a t-shirt. I spray down with home made scent elimination at the truck and tree. Once I get to the tree, I hook up my lowering line to my bow and get to climbing the tree. Once I'm set, I change my t-shirt, put on any additional clothes, and raise my bow. Works for me.

I have a big fanny pack that I strap to the stand for the walk in/out. Yes, you do sweat a little more. Try and be as quiet as possible. It does make a little noise even if you're careful, but it doesn't carry through the woods if you don't clang around. I have had deer come in before while I was climbing.

I do about all of the above plus force myself to get out early enough to reach my tree a solid 90 minutes before shooting light. This gives me plenty of time to hook up my climber, stash my sleigher, get dressed, fart,put out some scents, climb up, hang my pack, secure my quiver, snip a branch,cough, eat an apple, get my binos out, put on my hood, nock an arrow, sneeze,nock another arrow, etc. I'm all set an hour beforeshooting light.

Tryingto do the above fast, turns into a Chinese fire drill and really gets me sweating.

you don't your going to sweat and your going to make nosie, try to keep things at a minimum..

THIS...is how i do it. if you get there early enough and prepare the day before. use a strap,rope or bungie or some sort of fastener.fasten your stand to your backpack.Wear just underwear and overalls,take a large air tight bag and a towel. pack your hunting clothes in the backpack.acring your bow in hand and you gear on your back.hike to your spot quietly yet quickly. Put your climber on the tree the, change be sure not to step w/ sweaty feet onto the ground towel of place towel directly into the air-tight bag. spray with some "vanishing hunter" or something like that head to toe.rub it in. get dressed.make sure you put you towel and overalls away in the bag then into your pack and up the tree with you. the higher the better.at least 20' i have one stand at 30' at the seat.(for god sake wear a harness). wait til you get to the top to put your coat,hat and gloves on.(if it's hot out).get up quietly yet quickly.take a breather put your gear on and hunt.I have a holder for bow on the stand i sit more still that way. good hunting. I shot an eight pointer this way couple years ago. I don't bait....not saying you shouldn't but i don't get out enough to keep the bait replentished well enough.
