Back pack, because I've got to carry my critters out of the woods/mountains.

Depends on where I'm hunting. If I am hunting in my close to home spots, I just fill my pockets with what I need to hunt, the rest stays in the truck not far away. If I'm hunting my land down in southern Illinois I usually take a fanny pack. If I'm huntingin the middle of public land where there are not stands already set up, I pack my climber andbackpack.

Backpack for me. No reason why, just seems to be the easiest for me.

I strap my fanny pack on and twist it so its on my front, then throw the climber on the back and it makes for an easy walk. It balances well enough, and you dont have all the weight on your back.

I have a pretty large fanny pack that I use. If I am using my climber (which I usually do) I set it in my climber near the top and attach the straps that wrap around the main compartment around the climber's chains. That way I pack it in on my back with my climber. Also, when I have my climber set up at the base of the tree, I use those straps to attach the pack to the arm rest of the climber and climb with it attached to the stand. If I'm hunting with a fixed position stand or from the ground, I wear it around my waist.
