Badlands Packing pics

[muddy]

I pack stuff up so simple that even a caveman, or Thomas for that matter, can do it.

Start off with the goods...

If I'm just packing the sticks I roll them up in my coat and strap them down, I throw the horns right on top of it all and cinch it down...

I'm I decide to pack it all on my backpack I'll wrap the sticks up and put them on the stand. Then I'll make sure the backpack straps go through the same holes in the platform. Count in from the sides, top and bottom. This keeps the stand from being lopstided.

Sometimes I just put the sticks on the stand the normal way they suggest and wedge clothes and horns into areas that they'll ride quietly and just sling it over my shoulder. Sometimes it goes on the pack. I differ day to day depending on how thick of stuff I'm walking to, how far I'm walking, etc etc etc.

Thanks, Muddy. I appreciate the insight as I'll probably feel like quite the mental midget the first time I try this...

4 sticks...is that how low you normaly hunt?

 

[THA4]

you'd be surprised how high you can get with those 4 sticks

T250 - I am fairly tall and can space the sticks out really well, that enables me to get 22-25 feet most hunts and I feel that is high enough. The only thing that has ever inhibited me from getting 20 feet up are short camera men.

THA4 - I think on camera Jonny's comment on your "big ol club" last fall probably sums it up pretty well.

Yep thats about the same as my set-up but I put the seat down twards the bottom of the pack to keep a lower center of gravity.

As for sticks I started carrying five because I am some what vertically challenged.Plus my gut gets in the way when I try to take too big of step.
