I used the older version that attached to the stand. I used it with a muddy blood sport ( it's about the same size as my LW assult II) and 3 32" muddy sticks. Once the back pack frame portion was attached to the stand it was pretty secure, I would leave it attached when I hung the stand. The sticks I would nest against the stand and attached with a shock cord when I was carrying the whole thing. It was a pretty good system once it was all set up and you used it a few times. The only reason I no longer use it or have it is because I am now using a much smaller stand at this point. The new tool box pack is the same with out the separate frame.
I use the badlands "tree stand" pack & love it. I strap my climbing sticks to the bottom of my pack then carry my stand on one shoulder & my bow (in a bow sling) over the other. Works slick IMHO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I bought a cheap fanny pack a few years back from ****s, maybe field and stream brand or what ever cheap brand they were selling at the time. My intentions were to use it as a camera/short hunt pack but I find that unless it's pretty cold and I need to pack extra layers it works well almost all of the time. It holds a lot with 3-4 different compartments. I plan to use just this for my moose hunt this coming week to stay light and be able to walk a lot.
