Platform. Sticks. Ropes. Layers. Food. Then keep the glass and rangefinder off your back and on your chest. Build the carry system - Ships in 24 hours - Free shipping over $20 - 30-day free returns - Lifetime warranty The loadout map ## The things you use during the hunt stay on your chest. The things you use to reach the tree stay on your back. ### Back: SB1 25L - Platform, strapped to the exterior MOLLE or the load shelf - Climbing sticks, lashed outside - Ropes, contained inside - Layers, water, food, kill kit ### Chest: LT2 - Binoculars - Rangefinder, in its included pouch - Tags, wind checker, small accessories A layout, not a guarantee that every platform and stick system fits. See the honest note below. Strap management ## Getting to the tree quietly. Every exterior panel of the SB1 is StealthStalk, a brushed fabric that cuts the scrape and crinkle as you move through timber and bedding areas. Exterior MOLLE takes pouches and lashing; the drop-down load shelf between the pack and the hipbelt takes a bulky load and buckles it in. **The honest note:** we have not yet photographed the SB1 loaded with a specific platform and stick set, so this page does not claim silent carry for your particular hardware. Strap it, walk it, and if it rattles or does not fit, returns are free. 25L is a day pack ## Pack size discipline. If your platform and stick system needs a frame, or you routinely haul very heavy loads, buy the pack built for that job. The SB1 is for a compact mobile day setup: 25L, 2.6 lb, integrated rain cover, hydration sleeve, padded carry for a bow or a full-size rifle. | Spec | SB1 | | --- | --- | | Weight | 2.6 lb | | Exterior | StealthStalk on every exterior-facing panel | | Rain cover | Integrated | | Weapon carry | Compound bow or full-size rifle, hands free | | Capacity | 25L | | Price | $90 | On the tree ## Why the bino harness matters more in a saddle. Once you are tethered in, reaching a backpack means turning around or unshouldering it. Glass and rangefinder on your chest stay reachable without either. The LT2 puts them behind a quiet magnetic lid with a rangefinder pouch and a front pouch for the small stuff, and its StealthStalk exterior stays quiet against your layers. Both harnesses contain magnets: keep them away from pacemakers and magnet-sensitive medical devices, and expect them to affect a compass at close range. Cold sits ## Late season: pack the muff, run it once you are settled. A long stationary sit after a sweaty climb is exactly when hands go. The insulated hand muff rides on its own belt or on the harness MOLLE, takes a hand warmer, and keeps bare hands ready to draw. Keep it in the pack for the walk in.

Most compact platforms and stick sets lash to the exterior MOLLE or ride on the load shelf, but we have not tested every system. If yours does not carry cleanly, send the pack back within 30 days, free. ### Can I carry my bow on it? Yes. The padded carry system holds a compound bow or a full-size rifle with both hands free. ### Is the SB1 waterproof? It is not. It has an integrated rain cover that deploys in seconds and StealthStalk exterior panels that shed weather. ### What does the lifetime warranty cover? Manufacturing defects, for as long as you own it. If a seam, buckle, magnet or zipper fails because of how it was made, send us a photo and your order number and we ship a replacement, or refund you if we cannot. Normal wear, cuts from use and lost items are not covered. Returns are separate: try it on at home, and send it back within 30 days in like-new condition. We pay the return shipping. ## Sticks and platform on your back. Glass on your chest. SB1 $90, LT2 $75, rig discount when you add both. Build the system
