Getting gear in the tree

[tider]

How do most of you accomplish this?
I sometimes wear my backpack up the tree but that just adds extra weight. I like to be able to climb up trees without hauling anything up with me.

I have a grapple hook. I will use it to pull up my backpack at times after I pull up my bow. Works great in the daytime, but in the dark I can’t see my backpack. I thought about putting some reflective tape on the handle of the backpack, shine my green light on it , grab it and pull it up.

Interested to hear how you guys do it.

I wear my pack up the tree. I pull my bow up with a doyles hoist.

Only problem is that the backpack is a little hot early season climbing. I just need to slow down.

I wear my pack up the tree. Bow stays hooked to the pack for the climb.

wear my pack up and pull bow up with a rope.

Same. Wear pack, haul bow or gun. Early season, about the only thing my pack holds is a compass, licenses, and big spray. Late season it holds a jacket. Not very heavy.

I bring everything up the tree as I go up. Bow/rifle on backpack, sticks and platform on saddle. I attach the first stick from ground obviously but after that everything rides up in/on backpack or saddle.

Good deal. I guess I just need to minimize my contents of backpack.

Unless I have extra clothes, once my saddle, platform, and climbing method come out it's just about empty.

Yup, wear my pack and pull up the weapon with a Doyles hoist.

Climb my sticks with stand on back and two pull up lines attached to stand ...one for bow/gun one for pack.

Get up on stand, attach harness to tree tether, screw in my hooks ( pants pocket) , pull up my gear, and get dressed , all pants/bibs have full side zippers. Pretty efficient.

Everything I’ve got either goes in, or is strapped to my backpack.
