    Do you hang your backpack high or low?

    I primarily do spot & stalk and still hunting out here in west TX and NM due to the lack of real trees. But when I'm up in the mountains where there are real trees, I hang it on the back side of the tree waist high to access water/snacks for longer sits. For short sits, I'll hang it off of the...

    New to SRT/SRS: Line install question.

    I'm new to the SRT/SRS game and have a question about installing the climbing line. I'm in west TX where real trees are noting more than mythical things only seen on TV. I hunt mostly up in the mountains of NM and most of the pines I see are 90'+ with no branches down at hunting height or even...
