I can't help you with something specific, but I put good backpack straps and a waist strap on my climber, and simply lash my pack and anything else to the stand. The stand works as a de facto freighter pack frame.

 

Those strap on carry straps are not very comfortable and the climber digs in all the wrong places. Seems to me if you got a freighter type frame with hip belt and tie climber and daypack on it would be more comfortable and easier to carry.

There are good ones out there that are very comfortable. Padded back, padded shoulder straps & padded waist belt.

I have this EXACT system on one of my Viper SD's. It's awesome! I then attach my backpack to the stand. VERY comfortable!

 

Search Sherpa gamecart. That is your best bet for a summit viper sd. They do not pack flat which is the problem it will not work so well with everything you want to do with it. Treestand Wheel Kits for Summit Treestands. I had the XOP system above for my lonewolf stuff and it was great for the flat packing stands. I used the Sherpa on the summit when I had it.

 

I've used the Slumberjack Bounty 2.0 for the last 10ish years and love it. I slog my 34 pound steel climber and another 30 pounds of winter clothes and gear in it very comfortably about two miles deep, up a mountain and over creeks. Very important to be able to keep the load vertical and close to your back. I've hauled over 100 pounds with it plus a drag sled rigged to it. Tough as nails and can carry more than I can ever handle.

Google reviews, you'll be happy. And you'll have zero regrets about the cost after you use it once. And 15 years from now you'll be grateful about how much you actually saved not ever having to buy a replacement.

 

I’m truly loving these ideas from everyone. Seriously, thank you very much. Me and my buddy are going scouting next weekend just to get the lay of the land in 5c, 4a, and 5A. No particular order, we’ll probably start furthest from home and work our way back. We live in bucks county just outside the city.

 

It sounds like you need a good Pack frame if your wanting to load camping gear per your post along with your stand.Rugged Hunters and WLd Jagers suggestion is probably your best bet by removing pack and using frame and or just buy a frame For more support.I have shoulder straps and waist belt on my lone wolf stands,but not sure I would load camping gear on the stand also.I do have a surplus A.L.I.C.E pack frame with a shelf on it for hauling a stand and sticks,but do not think it would hold as much as you want..

 

I also have the XOP system and while it's way better than the regular straps it's not going to be great if you're carrying 40 or 50+ lbs of hunting AND camping gear. If you're camping you're probably packing the meat out too. This sounds like quite the operation and you're definitely going to want a good frame. If money is of no concern get a kifaru frame with a striker xl and a camp bag, or something similar from kifaru. If the budget is more tight I'd look at something like the Eberlestock F1 Mainframe or Alps Commander frame. A big frame you can strap the stand to and then strap your daypack or overnight pack to that. I've considered selling my truck for a kifaru but can't quite justify it at this juncture.

Are you really planning on backpack hunting in 4A, 5A or 5C, or am I reading that wrong? There aren't many places to do that in those units but I have looked at a few to break myself in before heading out west.

That what I was wondering as well. In those units there really isn't anywhere that you can't day hike to and fro from vehicle parking, not exactly a wilderness. That said, if the OP is set on camping on public land, be aware that camping on State Game Lands in any form is prohibited. Camping on State Forest land is permitted but there are rules that must be adhered to. Below is a link to info on State Forest Land camping:

If you're new to both I would maybe try to figure out hunting and backpacking separately before you try to combine the two.

 

I concur!!!

 

Years ago I was at the truck after a morning hunt. A guy comes into the parking lot, climber on his back, carrying his pack. He says, there's got to be a better way. I said, why don't you just hook your pack on your climber. Showed him how I do it. He looks at me and says oh yeah, good idea.

 

This Sunday at church I’m gonna pray for you guys. I’m so grateful for these ideas that I haven’t even thought of. Absolute genius stuff in here. From all of ya. Thanks.
