I rarely hunt in places where I can sit on the ground or even on a turkey lounger chair, so I have that problem to contend with. I usually carry my dove bucket (you know, a five gallon bucket with swivel seat). In that I keep my caller, decoy (if required), and other random stuff. I sling my AR and hand carry my Trigger Sticks, and sometimes, the shotgun. Once at the stand, I can either sit on the bucket or adjust the trigger sticks and just stand up against a big mesquite or yucca. I'm considering one of those folding "blind chairs" in lieu of my bucket, then I would be able to carry or strap everything onto my Eberlestock X1A1 and have hands free walking in.
