I struggled last year with a smooth and easy way to carry my platform and also getting it into the tree when I was up and ready for it.
— carried on my back in a pack and had to get it out at he from the pack and setup
— hauled it to to the spot with a hoist line, kinda a pain
— used a shoulder strap to carry it up while I climbed, worked okay
This year I bought a TL Platow pack and added a Backwoods Custom Gear platform pack to it. With this combo, I can carry my pack up the tree and reach back and grab my platform with the pack on. Works pretty well… the only downside is the Platow pack is a little unwieldy to get on when all loaded down. A minor nitpick.
Curious how others are managing their platform once at height..
Happy Hunting!
