Planning to use the Mystery Ranch POPUP next season. This mean if I use multiple sticks, I can go up and down the tree without having to pull up or lower my bow as it can be attached to pack. And honestly, I can probably just not rappel down as long as I descent in a safe manner. This would remove 2 aspects of my setup (gear retrieval and rappel rope retrieval) and would make it simpler. Not too worried about speed but just from my view, the shorter/simpler the setup the less chance of making more noises. I figured adding 3-4 sticks would add 6-8 lbs which I probably would not notice weight wise since I'm carrying a pack. Honestly, I'm considering the chances because I drop my bow last season (expensive mistake) and I'm tire of fighting branches pulling it up, especially with small diameter Paracord or Dynaglide because they were eating up my hands. Rather have the bow safely stored in a pack. It was a lot easier once I realized I can attach it at the end of my rappel rope but the anxiety of seeing it bounced against the tree going up sucks, especially when arrows get tangle and stuff!
Anyway, who here that SRT/DDRT/2TC/1Stick/etc would be willing to use multiple sticks if you can eliminate having to retrieve your bow and rope?
