The forum has helped me to brainstorm about some specific ideas so here is another one.
I have a few places that I hunt infrequently and I do not feel comfortable putting up fixed stands (for various reasons). So, I always take my climbing stand with me. When I lug that into the woods on my back, I usually have to carry my rifle in my hands instead of over my shoulder. Also, the nice big backpack that I throw everything in has to stay in the truck because my back is already occupied with my climber. Instead of my backpack, I will use a small waist pack to carry things in...etc, etc, etc.
I really dislike carrying a lot of stuff into the woods with me but I also feel like there are minimal things that I always want with me. I just need to figure out the most efficient way to do it.
So, if you use a climber, what is your carry system like?
PS - I do not have access to an ATV, so consider that in your answer. I am going in and out on-foot.
