As the title states, I’m looking for an efficient way to ditch my pack. I’ve been carrying a Kifaru Stryker XL with muddy pro sticks and a homemade XOP seat platform. I used to film, but I’ve gotten away from it and would really like to simplify things again. Recently switched to the XOP edge and their 2 step sticks. Was hoping they’d pack up well enough to just use backpack straps, but I can tell that is going to leave a lot to be desired. It’ll likely work to get me through this year, but wondering what some of you guys are doing to not have to carry a pack.
For context, I can carry most things I absolutely need in my bino harness and pockets. I hunt mostly private and my furthest walk is probably a half mile. I hunt elk too, so I’ll always have the Kifaru at my disposal. Also have a small pouch from EWO I can strap to the platform as needed. I might be trying to fit a square peg in a round hole by doing this with a saddle platform, which makes the .5 from LWCG intriguing. Just costly for something I’m not sure I’ll like. I know you guys are an innovative bunch, so just looking for some other ideas.
