I one stick up with everything, crossbow and pack on my back. I don’t like laying stuff on the ground around my tree.
Exactly.I climb with the Sitka backpack on and my bow strapped to my backpack. I like not having to fiddle at the base of the tree. I carry my one-stick in, walk up to the tree, and start climbing.
Agree, same reason I’m trying to get away from two extra sticks hanging at my sides on the way up… odds are I’m not going to fall, but if I did, things escalate from just hitting the ground, to hitting the ground along with a pile of long unforgiving aluminum.Can you, or should you?
For a variety of reasons I don't and won't unless it's a last resort.
I don't believe it safe to climb with 4 razor sharp broadheads strapped to my back.
