No Pack? hawk helium sticks

[yotehunter]

So i hunt mostly private venture alittle onto public from time to time. Either way never extremely far walk in mile tops. Ive been looking at packs to carry my sticks but i don't really need a large pack. Most my stuff i can carry in my pockets. Unless im doing an all day cold weather sit i rarely carry a pack at all. Anyone just put back pack straps directly on there stick to carry in?

There are a few posts discussing this. There is small business that makes slings for your sticks (someone here will know what it’s called). I figured out that my sticks fit in a foldable lawn chair bag easily. It makes them less prone to tangle and snag on branches and it gives you a nice strap to throw over your shoulder.

Here’s a link to some pictures of the chair stick bag I described above.

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...

I bought this carry strap to carry my sticks on days I am not bringing my pack, 2" webbing

Also think about how you are going to carry your other sticks up the tree as you climb, I bought paracord and tied it around the standoffs on my sticks, then I bought some molle J hooks ( https://doublesteps.com/product/kydex-molle-j-hook/ ) and attached them to the molle webbing on my saddle so I can just slip the paracord loop into the J hook

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...

I don't use backpack straps, but my Field & Stream neoprene bow sling works great for carrying three Helium's.

Mike Isbell, backwoods Mobile gear, makes a sling for sticks! He does great work! Also Daisy chains, aiders, so kinds of good stuff!!

this works well... sling it like a quiver... rides nicely right over and on pack... sling also works as a drag device

Throw a set of these on one of the sticks:



Attach the backpack straps in the large side slots:


When packing up for transport, place the stick with the straps on top, cinch all 3 together with a lashing strap, and carry them out like a backpack. I did this my first year and carried a small fanny pack for essential gear.

Those straps are exactly what I use. They work great. Only use 1 on the sticks. Also use one to sling and carry the lock on stand instead of using as a back pack. I like carrying it like that for some reason.

Seems like you could fit everything you need in this, and find a connection method to attach sticks to the molleloops on the back of it.

Good call. Forgot I have a set of these on that monstrosity of a climber I swore I’d never use again.
