For you guys packing in sticks and a hang on every time. What’s your set up?

I did a lot of research last year when retiring my climber.

Went with XOP for sticks and stand and couldn't be happier. The lighter the better. Almost got Hawk, but had a lot of bad reviews.
Pay attention to the teeth where the stand touches the tree. Saw many that didn't look like they'd be stable.

Just attach a small back pack and I'm good for miles.

Aluminum is your friend. I have a steel hang on, and Steel steps... never been on a tree. It will sit in my garage till I find a permanent home for it.

I'll make a permanent home for it if you are relatively close to crossville. Got a teenage daughter that likes to hunt but once or twice a year and looking for a2nd hand hang on and sticks would be great at a reasonable price.

What's the weight total?

Stand is 11lbs and sticks are 3lbs each. They have smaller, lighter sticks than I got. Two step vs 3. I normally take 2-3

Not sure if it weighs more than my climber, but I know it rides a lot better on my back and has a much smaller profile that isn't getting caught on brush. Plus the ability to get in about any tree I need
 
I'm carrying 4,sometimes 3, Latitude carbon ss with amsteel aiders, they are 1.1 lbs each. I still use my hawk helium platform and I would say it's about 3.5 pounds. Used to carry 3 hawk sticks and they were 10.5 pounds by themselves.
 
My mobile lock-on setup is a Millennium M7 with 4 XOP X2 sticks. The M7 has been modified to use a Novix tree bracket and versa buttons. The X2 sticks each have a 1 step aider and a rope mod for fastening to the tree. The total setup weight should be around 18 lbs.
