Total system weight

My saddle, pouches, climbing method (mini one stick with 2 step aider, platform, lineman, tether, rappel system, all the biners I use, knee caps, pull up rope, back band, hero clip, & my strap for hanging gear from....I am at 11 lbs 8oz.

So the only thing not included is my weapon, nockers, range finder, milk weed, & water is about the only other thing I take. Everything else consist of clothes, phone, and pocket knife.
 
Now do a video where you're going around a bunch of branches...

This system looks awesome for trees that a climber would work in but for most trees around me it looks like a giant annoyance. Every area is different so I'm sure it's perfect for you but in my situations it's a big enough pain in the a$$ to hook up a tether, move your LB around a branch, unhook tether and continue to climb while just using sticks/stepps, let alone having to unhook and rehook my platform as well. Just my $.02 even though you didn't ask for them lol

Meh, your pack weights 5 pounds alone. Sure, you could get lighter, but that pack keeps it from feeling anything close to 30 pounds. Love mine.
