Hawk Helium Sticks: How to carry in and up?

Patrick Frizelle said:
I use an over the shoulder strap from my surfboard bag, but you could get one from strap works. I attach the strap with a paracord loop at the top and bottom of my last stick. The bungee that comes with them holds them together well. the strap works fine going up the tree. I have an Ernie platform that I attach to my saddle via my Molle clip. Once I leave the ground I do not climb back down. I have my bow rope attached to the other Molle clip on my kestrel. it takes me about ten minutes to get completely setup. I use 4 Heliums
This is how I carry them in...

Nice Badlands Superday pack. I have enjoyed mine so far, except that I wish the zippers on the hip pockets were reversed so they would be easier to close.

I use an xop post and seat for my platform. I have shoulder straps on the seat. The batwing brackets give me a place to bungee down the sticks. My shoulder straps are shortened due to small seat. This gives each strap a tail. I insert an S biner on end of each tail. I hang my first stick, then clip sticks 2 and 3 on the tails. This puts them in a position that keeps them from clanking on anything. Works amazingly well. I even strap clothes to the platform instead of wearing them on way in. They key to its versatility is the full length xop post. Its added weight is offset by how well it makes carrying sticks and its rock solid on the tree.

Can you post a pic
 
I’ve only done this on short walks on private when it was still warm out but if you have done the rope mod, just stack the sticks together and secure with a nite ize gear tie. Then use the rope to go around the bottom step then tie a simple knot and use the rope as a sling. Simple and easy for short walks.

I much prefer my tenzing 2200 to carry my sticks and predator. 2 sticks on each side. Predator in bag or on back or the bag.

With it being cold old now, I take 2 trips up the tree. Set my first 3 sticks, with the first stick having a 3-step aider. Then climb down, add layers and change socks, then climb back up for my 4th stick and predator
