I always have 3 hooks (or tree steps) at every stand. One for my bow, one for my quiver and one for my backpack. The backback is at about shoulder height on the side of the tree so I can get in it easily when standing.

i use an extra hook too.....my backpack has goodies in it, food, my canteen, gear, calls, extra clothing, so no point in leaving it at the bottom or hauling it up and down, just hang it on a hook in reach.

I'm lucky... My Rivers Edge 17' ladder stand has a larger/longer platform with a fold up seat,I simply take my back pack off and tuck it under the seat and everything is within reach and I also have 2 side saddle bags on it to store snacks,apples,water and grunt call etc...!

I put two gear hooks on all my stands or at least have a limb cut of and leave about 5 inches to hold my bag. You can usually pick up gear hooks that are rubber coated for less than a buck a piece. I used to put my backpack under my seat on my hang ons and ladders but I like to have all my gear accessible. The less movement to get your grunt, range finder, water, etc the better. I'd try and keep everything in the same pockets everytime, then when you need your rangefinder or whatever you'll know exactly where it is and not have to dig around. I'm going with a backpack this year with a lot of pockets so I don't have to dig that often.
