RE: How far do you walk?
600 yards plus to all my stands, I hunt about 2 1/2 miles (as the crow flies) from camp but I park in a spot that leaves me at least 600yds from any stand I hunt. I also have a couple stands thatI walk to from camp that are the farthest, at least 800yds from camp, these are all rocky hilly climbs too (makes it fun)

I have to work around of locked gates. I ride my bike alot. Most spots I hunt that are worthwhile have me walking/riding around 3/4th-1 mile.

gri22ly---find a used mountain bike in the newspaper. It is one of my best tools. Just figure out how to package your stuff up and you will be set. I strap all my stuff to my portable climber. Just dress light so as to avoid overheating and you are all set.

RE: How far do you walk?
I wondered how a bike would work. Going in the dark I'd probably clothesline myself from a tree limb or hit a log and flip over the handle bars. Not a bad suggestion for evening hunts though.

I use my portable climber. I then take all my clothes and ratchet strap them to my climber. After that, I place my bow on top of my clothes (so to pad the bow) and then strap it down with a ratchet strap or a bungee cord. I make it all nice and tight so nothing clings or bangs. It really is not that hard once you figure out what you want to bring in, then just package it all up tightly.
If you have a portable climber, most of them have backpack straps. If yours does not, then you can make backpack straps out of about any type of fabric or ratchet straps.
