Primos bow sling for carrying my bow..backpack with my stuff that I hang from an ez hanger turned towards me so I can unzip it part way for easy access. Rangefinder and binocs around my neck tucked in behind my jacket or vest once in the stand, cell phone in my shirt pocket turned on vibrate...I bow hunt from fixed tree stands...Gun hunting is pretty much the same but I almost always hunt from a ground stand when gun hunting

A large fanny pack serves me well until it gets Cold and I have to start carrying my outer clothes. If possible I strap them to my stand, but when im not carrying a stand I use a backpack. I learned a long time ago the items that I have to have and did away with the ones not being used.

X3. I have a fanny pack I use until it gets real cold, then a backpack when I have to carry more clothes. More and more, though, I find myself carrying my clothes and leaving all the stuff that won't fit into my pockets.

Oh yeah, I have the HSS, too, and that's pretty convenient in terms of pockets, access to rangefinder, etc.

pass-thru, I feel your pain. But with all the suggestions made you will have to find what works for you. As for your range finder, someone from the site told me about a nikon gear keeper which allows me to hold my bow in my left hand and use the range finder with my right hand (right handed shooter) I attached it to my HSS under my right arm pit so that I can reach it and its out of the way when I'm done with it so that I can shot. Auto retrackable line.(it works great and quite)...I also attach my pack to my summit when I go in. I take everything with me scents, calls, firstaid kit, emergency stuff, bino's, tree trimmers, etc. I pack a load but I have what I need as well. I believe I could live out of my pack for a week.
Good Luck, remember what works for you.

I just use a fanny pack now. If it dosn't fit in there or my pocket it stays home. I found the bigger the pack the more junk I took. All I really need onhand is a bow, TP and water. Don't leave with out the TP!
