Took me a while and lots of experimentation, but I've finally nailed my system and packing. Trophyline Mission (I'm a bigger guy and like to stand some), 4 beast sticks stealth stripped, 2 - 5/16" J-hooks and hand knobs. I've covered the J-hooks with heat shrink and added stealth strips in the hook part that makes contact with the platform. I also have a 3 step ultimaider and ultimaider pack-n-play. I use Tethrd webbing daisy chains to hang my sticks, those go in my left cargo pocket going up the tree. The cam strap for the platform also goes in my pants pocket. Credit to DO3 Outdoors on youtube, he makes awesome hunting videos. In one of his videos on his gear setup I saw he had this same type of thing. Hope this helps someone else. I can't explain how there is no noise and to hell with straps, bungees and anything that can come loose or rattle. I use a Horn Hunter Main Beam pack and just strap it to the outside using 2 of the 3 compression straps, it's the perfect combination.

That’s the same way I did mine this season. I only use two sticks with aiders. Will be going to a ring of steps this year. I just carried the platform with some back pack straps. Works ok but the big hump on the bottom of the platform will leave bruises on your back other than that it was pretty slick and fast.
