Author Topic: Packs while carrying climber? (Read 454 times)

Hi all. Where I hunt we are limited to climbers due to theft of stands. I use a LW hand climber and am constantly frustrated about carrying the small amount of essentials with me. Any ideas?

Yep, a good fanny pack pulled around front. Make sure to get one with lashing straps to carry extra clothes in.

I always attached my back pack to the stand, then put the stand on yer back. Nestled in there real good, used the elastic boot strap to hold it tight

I use wal-mart fanny in the the front, I put a bungy on my LW to tighten it up to keep it quiet and put any clothes in it while going to the tree.

I've carry a backpack strapped to a Lonewolf climber...feels real comfortable carrying this way.have even carried out deboned deer in it with no problems....

not knowing how much stuff you need to carry exactly, you can hang a back pack on your climber, or use a fanny pack. not the lame ones

i use one i got from cabelas, now i don't need to load up my pockets anymore. i got it years ago and didn't use it much until the last 2 seasons. now i never leave without it. here's the link to the one i got

had same concern and switched to Hunter safety system vest with a bunch of pockets rather than a fanny pack and it works great plus you have the benefit of safety

I hang the shoulder carry straps of my back pack over the Lone Wolf climbing/seat wedge and throw the whole thing on my back. Usually don't bother wrapping a bungee around the pack to keep it tight to the stand. I usually have enough stuff in it that the pack rides tight to the stand.

I can usually have everything I need in the pocket on my arrowmaster quiver. If I need other items water, snacks, gloves, handwarmers or anything else I use a fanny pack pulled around front. If I take rattling horns I strap em to the stand.

You can put your backpack on the front side (your chest) and then put the treestand on your back. It is a little awkward, but the offsetting weight is actually an advantage in some respects. People who travel around Europe with two backpacks often use this system, and I have done it many times. It is not for going long distances, and you really don't want anything more than a day pack on your chest.

I hunt with a Cat Quiver 3 1/2 most of the time and sling my stand over my shoulder like a side quiver would hang by a strap I tried on. Works great for me and it's easier I think to avoid snagging branches this way in the dark.

Here's how I do it.

A cheap wal-mart daypack,($8-$10) bungeed to the stand. I don't wear alot of clothes walking to the stand, so I carry them in, then layer as I need it. Prevents sweating, and dampening you're under clothes. I use the same pack even in warm weather. Its way bigger than needed, but weighs little, and mashes down flat. I haul pack and bow up together after getting settled in. Pack never comes off the pull rope, I just tie it to the tree above me where I can access all my gadgets.

take the waist belt of my fanny pack and wrap it around the outside of the LW then weave it once under/over the large holes in the platform. Buckle and snug it up and your done. I have a sit-n-climb and I shove my cold weather outers inside the slingseat before attaching the pack. Good as gold.

I use a phanny pack it rides under my stand and my stand sometimes rides on top or it workes for me. Widow
