Mobile setups

[Dirtbag]

Just wanted to show my current mobile setup that has been working for me this year.
Lonewolf .5
4 skeletor climbing sticks
Latitude backstraps
Kifaru bane
Trophyline pouch on seat.
Multicam fanny pack

The bane is perfect for extra layers and I can get a set of rattling antlers in the external pouches. The sticks get lashed on the side with the side straps. The latitude backstraps have been ok, need to be broken in. They are a little wide, and stiff. I fill the seat pouch with screw in hangers, and bow rope.
I add the multicam fanny pack on when I need some extra room. My friend sewed for me for everyday use but it also attached really well to the front of the Bane.

What’s everyone else using?

Sweet rig! Now I live in southern Appalachia I tend to sit on the ground a lot more than I have in a long time.

Looks good, i got some of those lattitude straps for my grandpas old windwalker but i havent tested them yet.

I hunt in southern Appalachia mostly use a JX3, and sometimes sit on the ground. Ill see if i can get a good picture of the jx3 later

Nice setup. How do you like those Skeletor sticks? I was between those and XOP X2 sticks. Went with the x2's and have really liked them. They bite into the tree extremely well and the standoff distance from the tree is great. I run 3 of them with a 3-step aider from backwoods mobile gear with the OG lone wolf assault 2 platform. Been very happy with the setup. 3 sticks with the aider get me plenty high. I use the LWCG backpack straps and attach the sticks to the platform with j-hooks.

The setup I've been using for a few years now is the following:

Latitude Method 2 Saddle with 1 dump pouch on my left side. I wear this in unless I'm walking extremely far
-Dump pouch holds lineman's rope, gear strap, and tether. Once I'm in the tree, my lineman's rope, bow rope, and maybe some gloves go in there

Pack is a Mystery Ranch Pintler 38.6L (may be kind of large, but I'll explain in a second)
4 Tethrd Skeletor sticks that strap to the back of the pack (your idea of two on each side is good, I'll need to try that. 4 on the back can be kind of bulky). 4 sticks usually lets me get about 20 feet up. Next year I might play around with going down to 2 or 3 sticks + aider to cut a little weight

Platform is a Trophyline EDP that goes inside my pack. So that, along with layers, snacks, saw, rattle bag and grunt tube led me to a somewhat larger pack. The pack does have a load shelf where I have thought about putting the platform, but honestly haven't messed around with it too much. It would probably be more efficient getting set up if I found a way to secure it there.

Overall I like this setup. I like the way the Pintler opens because it makes it easier to keep things protected in the rain and pretty easy to access without opening lots of different pockets. The main thing I don't like is how bulky it feels when trying to get through really thick brush. I'm already kind of tall, so the pack snags on branches when I'm trying to duck under stuff.

Here’s a pic of my mobile setup this morning - filled both my buck tags last two years sitting on it. It’s really light and I think $8.

I do plan on using my summit more often this year, I think it’s the viper aluminum. Pretty easy to carry but would like to rethink how I can tote it in with my daypack and all the goodies.
