Pretty much sounds like the same way I carry mine as BC, connected to stand. It is nice having descent backpack straps, more comfortable when walking. I did pick up the XOP gamma ts, it’s a pack that attaches to your stand with but also has the waist belt. Which is nice as with any packing it’s nice having the weight around your waist. Only used it once so far but I liked it. With a lite setup, can’t tell is t really on your back. Wish the waist pads were a bit bigger but they do have a pocket on each side. Since it stays connected to your stand, I could possibly see the straps dangling beneath the stand as an issue, something deer could pick up.
I currently run a lone wolf with the identical lone wolf back pack waist belt and have killed alot of deer out of it with them dangling. But if it was a real issue you could tie them up with the gear ties. For me though it’s never seemed like a issue to where I have to tie them up. I’m usually in a pretty concealed spot i think and not just the wide open.
