Other people do || || on the sides of packs with mini sticks.

I use to carry my 30 inch lobe wolfs In one of those bags the collapsable chairs came in.

I can’t remember the name but there is small company that makes something similar that hugs all your sticks and has a strap to go over your shoulder.
It would be helpful to know what sticks and what pack you have and/or plan on using. You will be somewhat limited to packing based on your sticks and the packs features.

Last but certainly not least you have one stick and you can pack it any way you want \ | — or / It is less weight and bulk altogether, some are so small you can just carry them in with your free hand.
 

How are y'all packing your sticks and platform??

I have a Badlands pack that my sticks pack on really well, but not sure how I will attach a platform. I am talking about something similar to the predator platform. I don't have a platform yet so I am not able to play around it. I am interested to see how y'all do it.... Thanks! Sent from my...

Packing sticks for saddle hunting.

Different ways to carry your sticks...

I'm new to this and am curious how the collective group carries their climbing sticks into the woods. I'm looking at buying a new pack that has some sort of cinch straps on the outside. However I think I may also just find me some rope and make a sling. I'm currently going to use 3 API...

Packing sticks for saddle hunting.

So i have tried a couple different options and this is what i believe i have settles on. Not crazy about using a pack, never been much for carrying one. But it serves its purpose for this new style of mobile hinting for me. This is the Element pack by InSight. I will wear my saddle and dump...

I should have mentioned I don't do the backpack, just a large fanny pack.

So, guessing the best/easiest would be a shoulder strap ?

Stick Bag idea

I have had this idea for a while. Carrying sticks with a lawn chair bag. It works great! Carrying the sticks in this canvas bag mitigates snag hazards and gives me an easy carry sling. The only negative is that the cheap material is noisy. I may sew one out of another material. I think there is...

Carrying sticks with no pack

I am planning on carrying 4 sticks and I will use a ROS not a platform. Does anybody have ideas for how to cinch them down and pack them in that doesn't involve a backpack. I thought I saw a video once, maybe DiySportsman on youtube, where he tied paracord around the standoff on each stick. That...

This is how I was doing it last season. I have 4 lone wolf sticks, and I was using a removable aider I made out of tubular webbing on the bottom stick, about a 36 inch loop. The webbing served as the carry strap. I can't say I recommend it since it was a pain to carry around. It was always shifting and was getting snagged on vines, etc.

I switched to 2TC and haven't picked up the sticks all season.

Use gear ties to secure them together. Then use your lineman's belt or tether as a shoulder sling. That way you aren't carrying anything extra in.
 
Sell them on here and order W.E.Stepps. They all fit in a shoulder bag. Don't stick out to the sides or above your head...

Why do you not do the backpack? Have you tried it? It's my preferred method to cinch my sticks and platform to a small frame pack like the Kuiu 2300 if I'm running multiple sticks and doing longer hikes in. Very secure. Very easy. I wouldn't automatically discount a pack when saddle hunting, even if in the past you had no need for one. Open your heart and mind (and wallet) to the breadth of the saddle hunting experience, and the saddle Gods will bequeath upon you big bucks and plentiful does :wink:
