What is everyone using to transport treestands on public land assuming you are going in deep enough to have to haul in gear and pack out meat? I have plenty of packs but was wanting something with back support like the TX5 Treestand suspension system or the XOP Gamma TS.
I currently have an XOP vanish XT with an old army molle shoulder strap system and lumbar piece and using tethrd one sticks. It works but it’s not ideal and is a lot of moving parts and straps. The packs I currently have are the XOP Striker evolution, tenzing 2220, SG x curve frame with solo pack, Sitka mountain hauler 6200, alps outdoorz pursuit, & a few other smaller packs.
I would love to use the TX5 with the striker evolution (probably my favorite pack) but the TX5 is sold out and I’m not so sure I can fit a deer in that size of a pack or attach game bags to it. I looked on stone glacier site but not sure if the frames can really be used with a tree stand without shredding it, it would be cool if they had a built in frame pack that expanded to fit the stand between the frame and pack. Most the other packs I’ve looked at seem to have capability to attach a stand to the very back of the pack but that will probably put strain on ya having the weight that far away from your body. Am I looking for something that does not exist? I’d gladly sell most of these for the perfect pack but I haven’t come across one yet. I am possibly going to get a lighter stand this weekend if there are any promos (either LWCG .75 or XOP Cold World.. but I’ll make another thread on that alone). Let’s hear your setups for going in deep with a stand and packing out meat.
