RE: How do you pack in your climber and hunting pack?

I throw my fanny pack between the stacked pieces of the stand and the chains. I use the vertical straps on the pack and wrap them around the chains so it rides high on the stand when I pack it in.

I tried the backpack, tried the fanny pack...About 4 years ago I bought a Primos Bow Vest...Works better for me...

Sometimes I cheat and drive the 4-wheeler to the tree, attach stand and take the 4-wheeler about 150-200 yards away and walk back...

Use the backpack straps on the climber seat. Then just use a bungee cord or two to strap your remaining accesories to the back of your treestand.

I hand the loop on the top of my backpack on the teeth of my stand where it meets the tree. Never had a problem with it falling off.

I wear the back pack on my chest and then put the stand on my back.

I have an older treestand (a tad bulker than new models) that when stacked together I strap by back pack inside the upper and lower pieces.I use the safety strap that attaches the top and bottom pieces while climbing to tie it in.

I use a Summit Viper and I put my pack's straps over the top, then run the waist belt around the front of the stand, making sure that it is behind my stand shoulder straps. Nothing squeeks, shifts, or rattles....it is all tight. It can get heavy on a long walk, but I just imagine I'm back in the infantry toting a 70lb ruck, even though I'm quite a bit older than then.

I wish I could give you a picture, but my climber is five hours away on my lease.

Thanks Grizzlyman. I'm not worried about the weight I'm pretty fit and run and lift everyday. I've searched theinternet and found various ideas of what people have done. I plan on buying the Doyle's Deer Gear Hunting Hoist to attach my pack and bow to and pulling it up instead of worrying about a rope after I get up in the tree. I appreciate everybody's input on this subject. I hope that Summit is as quiet as everybody says it is.
