Packing them in was really the main reason I went with Muddy Short sticks several years ago. I'm tall, so the middle step does me no good on a lone wolf long stick. Plus I couldn't see how carrying them any other way than over my shoulder would be quiet or convenient.
With My guido's web, I packed them between the seat and back pad, sideways. On my lone wolf assault, I would put the sticks to one side of the stand, parallel to the seat post, set my backpack on top of seat post, and lean sticks into backpack. Then use the two straps for the stand to cinch everything down.
Now I'm primarily using one stick - and I carry it. I hunt in a lot of steep ridges and I use it like an ice axe to maintain balance. If I went back to multiple sticks, I'll probably still keep one out for this purpose.
