Well I created a post the other day about recieving my Knaider/Swaider set and a little about the mods. I didn't get all the pictures and info at that time so I decided to make this post.
The pack I have is something I picked up a lot of years ago. I actually have two of them. They were part of an archery hip quiver setup.
I weighed the pack empty at .06 lbs. I added what you see pictured (4 WE Stepps, Knaider/Swaider, gear strap, pruners and saw, and shoulder strap) After all that was put in it came to 6.6 lbs.
I use a Badlands Superday pack that houses my Sys Hauler with Mantis Saddle and ropes. It also holds my Predator Platform and all the other items. Thjs whole system comes to 21 lbs.
I wrapped my Stepps in Vet tape and love how it makes it easy to remove quietly.
I love this bag over the original WE bag for a couple reasons. The stepps just plain fit and do not want to fall out when climbing up and down.
I'm still working on my system but for now I'll be wearing my saddle in. Once at the tree I will detach the smaller bag and sling it over my shoulder. Pull out my haul line and attch to my sasdle and to my bow. Put my backpack back onn then I'll put my Knaider/Swaider on amd set my first Stepp.
Once all that is done I will climb to height, install my platform, hook up my tether and step on up. Once I am somewhat set in the saddle I will pull my hear strap from the WE bag, strap it to the tree, remove my pack and hang it. Then I will haul the bow up and settle in for the hunt.
I do not have a time yet from the ground up, but will see what I come up with next time I climb.
I know this is a wordy post and think I have everything listed, but figured I would share my newbie setup.
