RE: What does everyone bring to there stand
When I go hunting, I'm out all day from sun up to sun down.
I pack everything I need according to the wheather if its gonna rain then the rain suit gets packed in too.
So anyway here's my list of things I carry in with me.
Safty Harness, Gunt Calls, Range Finder, Pull Rope, First Aid Kit, Flash Light, Extra Batteries, Camra, Lunch, Water, Cell Phone, Compass, Bug Repelent, Emergency Whistle, Knife, Pruning Cutter, Cover and Deer Scents, Binoculars.
The list goes on and on it seems the more we collect, we think we gotta take everything but the kitchen sink.
Now try to put all that in a fanny pack .

Funny I don't see anyone taking a stand.
Often times it's quit a bit or at least it seems that way. This year it will be with a mountain bike. Been practising with it for a month now.

Mine would already be out there chained up.Too noisy to set up and too heavy to carry where I go. We are allowed one scouting day in the WMA before the actual hunt.

RE: What does everyone bring to there stand
It's my first year back into archery but I would have to say it will probably be close to what I use for rifle minus some obvious things.
It will be,
a pack with
feild kit, (knife, shears, saw, drag rope, plus gloves & bags for dressing)
lunch, dinner, snacks, at least 2 liters of water, plus thermos if cold
(I go for 1 hour before 1st light to after sundown)
flashlight and/or headlight
"small" firstaid kit,
lighter, matches, fire starter,
small spare knife
dry spares in a watertight bag, (socks, under, hat, gloves)
an extra layer for when I'm sitting and/or coveralls
scent, calls, etc
small weather/fm radio with earbud
two way radio if hunting with family
if hunting far from anything and/or alone, especially in cold or tricky weather
Esbit stove & fuel
emergency blanket
tube tent/tarp/bivy bag

RE: What does everyone bring to there stand
Bow hanger and pull-up rope are on all my stands.
PERMIT(am I the first one?)
knife
gerber multi-tool(I take one everywhere)
tru-talker
compact binocs
small flashlight== these are with me every single time, but I've carried a rangefinder, water, extra gloves, handwarmers, antlers, scents, 'can', LED headlamp, pruners, gerber exchange-a-blade saw(love it).
I've never taken any food with me, It's not all that hard to go sunup to sundown without food.

RE: What does everyone bring to there stand
I can go all day without food, just why should I.
(and especially in COLD weather or when I'm 1 or 2 miles walk into the swamp)
Permit???????
Oh yeah, you are supposed to have one, aren't you.
Forgot to list the binoculars,
(compact most of the time, big ones on the long range stands)
and the Leatherman.
