This is very similar to the method I use:

...in fact, this guy might have stolen the idea from me! :lol: (I posted it a while ago on other forums...)
Public or private land...it doesn't matter. I pack the sticks in and out with me every hunt so I don't "lose" them :| . I've got it down to a science and position them on my shoulder and across my back where they do not get caught on anything on the way in. Granted, I'm not crawling through briar patches...
It takes me about 10-15 minutes to get setup, ascend the tree and be ready to hunt. This includes putting out scent bombs, attaching my bow to the pull-up rope, setting the sticks on the tree and cimbing up. Only in the very early season do I get a little sweaty climbing. That's because in SE PA, it's usually 60-70 degreess F during the early season (in Special Regulation areas)!
