Carry backpack or pull up?

Backpack on with platform strapped to back with nite ize. Rope clipped to saddle/bow and pull it up when I'm set up. But after reading this definitely going to try the loop on bow and hook it when I get set up.
 
Climb with the pack. Take my platform off the back of the pack and clip in a carabiner on the pack waist belt via a short paracord loop on the platform.
 
I have my stand lashed on my pack; when I get ready to climb I transfer it to a loop on the back of my saddle using a nite ize gear tie - keeping it short so it doesn't swing & bang into one of my sticks. Climb to my stand height location, remove the stand from my saddle and temporarily lash it to my Lineman's rope just to make sure I don't drop it to the ground - it kind of helps as an extra hand while hanging the stand. Once I get the stand set and my tether line set, I put up my gear strap around the tree & then hang my pack on it.
