What backpack do you use when packing in a LW stand?

[JakeB]

Cloth gets strapped too my stand.

Most people on here just throw their stuff in their pockets. I tried to do that but it's too much of a pain for me, I always forget or loose the few things I need to take with me and I like having them all in 1 place so I have been going back and forth between a ribz front pack and a tiny fanny pack. I've been leaning more towards the ribz because it holds everything in easy reach. The fanny I would strap to my stand and have to take my stand off my back to get into it.


I have a Leech pack but it didn't fit my style so if anyone wants it make me an offer. It's brand new I never took it into the woods.

I don't have a Lone Wolf stand but this is the backpack I have,

The one I have is an older version or maybe a lighter weight one because I don't have the belt pockets.
I have a Summit Viper stand and am able to use the chest strap to attach it to the base of the stand.
The nice thing is I can attach my bow to the pack which eliminates the need for a draw string.

I use the leach as well but my bungees are about worn out now

You can replace them, I did mine last year.

Lots of different options.

My system has been a fishing vest to organize all the little things and keep from forgetting them. My extra cloths get bungeed to stand. And the stand has the molle waist belt to distribute the load.

When I first tried being mobile I bought a Sitka toolbucket backpack. The gimmick for it was the belt/shoulder straps/quasi-frame would unzip and allow the stand to be sandwiched inside. From using it and trying to connect/disconnect the internal straps and clips I ended up frustrated. Nice concept but it was a headache in the field.

Honestly I like the stand as a great frame to utilize for belt and shoulder strap mounting. Then using anything you have for storage on top works well.

Thinking about the bone out and carry method this year too. For that I'll use a Vietnam Era Alicepack, with stand and sticks strapped to it. Aluminum packframe. Spent $27 on ebay for it. Not super modern but it's roomy as , fairly comfortable, loads feels fairly light with waist belt used.

I like a medium sized packed, I hate digging for stuff and not having everything easily to access.Tried out a few different packs still looking for the perfect pack. Bought a Tenzing 14.5 it's a Cabelas exclusive to try out this year. Has an expandable pouch I plan on using for my extra layers. Had a badlands source that was just a little to small but liked the lay out of it. Probably my favorite was a Easton sling pack that I got from camofire a few years ago but the waist belt clip broke. Hoping this Tenzing wI'll be a good replacement.

I've been using a Badlands Dioblo for years , but I'm trying to cut weight on what I carry. That pack empty weighs almost 5 pounds. For this year I stole a mess backpack from one of my kids. It weighs almost nothing and can fit my bibs, jacket, and other things I carry in it. I don't have much hope for it lasting long but there only a few bucks. The down side is that a lot of the places I hunt, if I kill , I quarter them up and carry it out. So it's gonna cost me an extra trip to go get my big pack.

I carry a small fanny pack. I wear it in front. Works well with a lone wolf and sticks.I also like cargo pants for the extra room if I need extra items. I usually only take what I'm gonna use.

If it don't fit in a pocket or bungee to my stand, I don't bring it with me.

I used to bring a backpack now if it doesn't fit in my pocket it stays in the SUV.

The smallest pack possible that still holds all your equipment

Make a list of what you absolutely have to have and will use to KILL A DEER, and find the pack that holds all of it

I carry a small badlands fanny pack since I really enjoy having water on the stand with me. And I hate stuff in my pockets. But if needed, all of it could go in a pocket.

GPS clips onto harness. Phone goes in my pocket. Quart size zip loc bag holding tags, pen, extra batteries, flashlight and extra bag for phone go in pack with my water, thermacell, compass and extra lw strap, and extra battery for my phone. Could get by without the thermacell, battery and strap, but I didn't pre scout my areas, I can't stand swatting bugs, and I am always checking in with my dad on the hunt. I wear a sweatshirt so my phone can easily go into a pocket with little movement. The battery is an agreement with my dad because if something happens, nobody else is around us to help.

Knife and gloves are in a door in the truck, and a sled and cart are sitting in the garage at the cabin 15 minutes away. Along with a couple cold beverages if the occasion arises

I think you'll answer your own question after making a few of these hikes. I've also started limiting what i need to take. A small pack or fanny is becoming my go to. With all the camera gear and stand your already carrying i doubt you'll want a big pack to carry a bunch more stuff. Ultimately you'll need to try stuff out and find what works best for your situation as its different for everyone
