Besides the bow, release, arrows, rangerfinder and cell phone, what other gear does everyone take into the stand with them? I rarely take a pack with me and so I make sure what I take can fit in the pockets of my clothing, but I have recently thought about taking a pack with gear in it and am wanting ideas of what to take.
Battery pack to charge you phone, because im always looking at the "in the stand" feed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Not enough to really say I "change it up". I leave the horns at home for the early season. I change it up based on temperature. Might bring an extra layer or thicker gloves in my bag. Maybe some hand warmers.
Ozonics, small scent eliminator spray bottle (Upwind), Empty nature bottle, small first aid kit, binos (Addition to range finder), diabetic meds (insulin, Advil applesauce packets), sunglasses, extra clothing (rain gear, hoody, insulating gloves, etc.) as required, hand warmers ... I upgraded to the Tenzing 2220 pack late in the season. Had a small, light REI pack. I don't rattle so no antlers and haven't needed thermacell in the cedar thicket.

Early-season I travel very light. I hunt the big Woods where deer and people are few and far between. Early-season in my Tenzing Fannypack: navigating compass Whistle A bottle of water Couple Nutri-Grain bars A Tinks hot shot "doe pee" A deodorant stick of ever calm Fawn bleat Thermacell and an extra butane tank and new pad. Phone charger The rut and all day sits are different, so I usually carry a small backpack too, on the back of my stand on my back. On top of everything I previously mentioned: Grunt tube Estrus bleat Handwarmers A small thermos full of coffee A couple sandwiches Maybe some hard candy. Probably two phone chargers.... I'm really going to try not to look at my phone too much this year, but it's so hard not to want you've been on here a while and you know quite a few people in the "live from the stand thread" It is extremely depressing though, because everybody else saw a deer last year except for me... On my cold-weather clothes are bungee to my stand, because I walk in a pair shorts and a T-shirt, and dress at the bottom of my tree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Camera and gear to film the hunt.Water bottle to pee in. DDW Field Wipes to wipe off any sweat from the walk in. My .45 cal Glock, a knife, Thermacell, 2 flashlights, Grunt tube and bottle of doe pee.
Good points Swamp Stalker. I pack a couple of PB&J sandwiches on all day rut sits. I forgot to mention my compass. I also carry Upwind mouth rinse, it helps when you go hours without speaking. Anyone need a good battery pack/device charger, I recommend the Dark Energy Posieden. It charges iPhone and any micro USB device. It will charge a cell phone 4-6 times before needing recharged itself. I'm sure I'm forgetting something else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
