Do you wear a bino harness in tree stand?

Yeah very basic elastic type harness. Makes them quick and accessible in the thick timber and swamps
 
I have a Marsupial with a range finder pouch, large pouch, thermacell holster and down under pouch. I pretty much stopped using a pack when whitetail hunting 90 percent of the time. If it can't fit in that setup, then I probably didn't need it in the first place. I keep a couple pieces of rubber coated tie wire on the straps and if I need I take it off and tie wire it to a limb or the stand if it would be in the way for a certain setup. I keep an extra release in the down under pouch in archery season so that I don't have to climb down when I drop it like I always do and rifle ammo in the ammo holder in that pouch in rifle season. Its really nice to have everything accessible without having to move around much in the stand. You have everything that you NEED with you all the time hunting, glassing, scouting, wherever you go. I also keep my phone in the pocket against your chest so that you can feel it or check it without moving much and licenses in a zipper pocket, so I don't have a wallet or anything in my pockets to forget or fall out changing layers.
 
I use a marsupial bino pouch with a kuiu cell phone pouch for my radio. Be careful if using a magnetic closure and carrying a compass in/near your bino pouch. I ruined a nice compass a few years ago by storing it in my chest rig.

Also can throw off smart watches with magnetic compass feature.
 
I wear a Rick young harness with a 6.5x binocular for hunting in the mountains and ag fields of SWVA. I’ve found the RYH to be easier to add/remove layers compared to my alps outdoors or other strap harnesses. I move it to the side or tighten it when still hunting to or from my stand. It doesn’t have thick straps that interfere with safety harnesses. It’s adjustable and relatively quiet. I keep my rangefinder in my cargo pocket.

Having binos in a strap when still hunting is very important to me. It allows me to slow down and. Break down terrain as it uncovers when I walk. When I’m in the stand, the binos are safer and have less movement than grabbing a rifle or binos from a hook.
 
sometimes i will wear the FHF chest rig but most of the time i have everything in my pack to easily grab when needed.
