I've made the decision to go lighter and more compact this fall and plan on getting a Lone wolf hand climber if I can figure out ways to hang my bow and pack on the stand. I'm hoping you folks on here can share some creative ideas that do not involve screwing hooks into a tree. I always hate the feeling that I need an extra hand once I pull my equipment up and get situated.

I put a third hand bow holder on the sear section of my lw assault. I zip tied a binder clip to other side of seat and use this to hold my quiver. I have a very small pack affixed under the seat. It is my grab and go set up.
Yes this is what I was looking for. Great info. I need a grab and go setup.
Third Hand bow holder. As far as my pack I just use a cabiner.
Another vote for 3rd hand, it's a great product.
I added a quick disconnect for a Kwicki-Kwiver to my climbers and carry the quiver across my shoulder with a para cord strap until I get to the stand. Once up the tree I lay my bow across my lap.
I always carry 2 plant hook screws and use them to hang my gear.

As mentioned already, quiver mount on climber...

Works for carrying and climbing, arms fold down on this stand which puts the quiver behind you during transport.

If you want to go light I use rope and small hooks.
I buy the small open ended hooks from home depot or lowes.

I take camo duct tape and sit down with a beer or three and wrap a bunch of them up so they aren't shiny then throw them in my pack. They are plenty strong enough to hold a trad bow even in windy conditions.
For my pack I carry a 4-6 ft piece of rope in my pack or jacket and when I get up in the tree I tie it around the tree. (use a GOOD knot) and i have a carabiner on my pack that I just clip into the rope. You can slide the pack 360 deg around the tree for whatever position you want. The pack also breaks up your outline in the tree!!
That's how I did mine, Carpdaddy.
