Sitka tool bucket for saddle hunting

The bag is the perfect size for my needs. This will be my first year saddle hunting, so I’m experimenting with how I’m going to buckle it to the bag, but so far the two straps on the back have worked flawlessly for holding everything in place. I am also somebody who really likes organization , so this going to work out well for me having all the pockets to keep things in their place. The build quality of the backpack is what you would expect, very well put together.

My favorite backpack

I mostly deer hunt out of Box Stands with my kids, but this works perfect. It’s comfortable, big enough for my gear, and extra clothes and snacks for the kids. I hang it from a nail in my stand and keeps everything organized and out rig the way.

Tool Bucket Review

Great design! I had the older model for years and did a lot of research trying to choose my next pack. I’m glad in landed on the top bucket again. The old model was great but Sitka was able to make some great improvements. I’m able to pack my saddle platform and sticks quickly and cinch them down tight for hiking in and out. Everything is well thought out. The pack helps you stay organized in the tree and it makes packing in and out your gear both quiet and efficient. Internal pockets are great and external straps make packing in gear and extra layers easy. Thanks guys!

Quality Bag

The Tool Bucket back pack has been a great addition to my saddle setup. The internal pockets are great for easy access to essentials while hanging. My platform fits like a glove in the main compartment and still has plenty of storage for full everything you need during long days during the rut. The straps are durable and perfect for attaching my sticks. Sitka really thought through every every detail on this bag!

This is the best day pack I've ever owned.

This pack allows me to carry everything I need to hunt all day. Allows me to have everything I need to sit in a tree stand all day here in Texas or up in Kansas. The pockets allow me to keep everything I need separated and I can find it even in the dark. Best part is I can attach my bow and walk hands free to my stand. Don't hesitate on this one. I've used if for 4 bow seasons now and have zero regrets.

Missing strap

Mesh pockets do rip easy like others mentioned. I had the older version also and with I had kept it! My main complaint is there is no hanging loop or strap when you open the pack. I treestand hunt mainly, and dont want a pack stretched 3 ft down a tree. I also don’t like hanging it with lid closed. If it had a strap on the inside, like the old version, you can open the lid and hang It and have full access to the inside

Slips off shoulders

It would be better if the top could zip all the way closed. I have laid the bag down and had items fall out many times. Also, the shoulder straps can slip off your shoulders. I would probably improve the score by 2 stars if the shoulder straps had some kind of grip to them.

I used this pack for saddle hunting and it has plenty of room for all my gear inside and straps on the outside for my bow or platform, and straps on the side for sticks. Plenty of pockets for organization. Excellent quality and durability you come to expect from Sitka.

This is a great day-pack. Big enough to hold all your stuff for a long day in the tree and plenty of pockets to keep it all organized. It's comfortable to wear and the large opening to the main pocket makes it easy and silent to access. The exterior straps and attachment points are great, also.

Great Organization

The open concept of the bucket is awesome. My previous pack had too many pockets, and I could never remember which was which. The tool bucket allows organization within the bucket, but I can see where everything is at a glance. As is, it is the best tree stand pack I have tried but would love to see a version with a removable waist belt, and a hydration bladder option. It would then be suited for anything I could throw at it.

Great pack. Love all the

Great pack. Love all the pockets to keep my gear organized. Light weight and easy to carry. My only concern is that I had difficulty utilizing the pack when I hung it above me by the pack lid. I was worried that my gear would fall out of the main pack area/s if I zippered the two side zippers down when trying to access my gear in the main compartment. I will opt to have the pack lower, and to the side instead of directly above me when sitting or standing in my climber. Other than this issue it is a great archery pack when you are trying to keep your gear organized and to a minimum.

Love this pack.

This is my second tool bucket. Only bought another to match a different cammo pattern for early season. The pack is comfortable packed to the brim or with a few items. My favorite feature is the strands on the back. This allows me to secure all my other layers on the outside of the pack while walking to the stand. Once at the stand I unravel all the layers and I am in the tree within a minute. Outstanding pack. You can fit rain gear, gloves, beanies, neck gator, boot wind shells, box of bullets, knives, snacks and lunch.

Dissapointed

Pretty good pack, but it really needs to have the mesh on the outside removed and replaced. After the first few hunts, it was ripped to bits from walking through the woods. I expected more, and Sitka would not let me replace it through their warranty. I was very disappointed considering all my hunting gear is Sitka. I am sure it will be looked at and improved in the future.

Another Sitka Must-have.

Perfect pack. Plenty of space and plenty of pockets. Very lightweight and an excellent option to strap my bow on the outside. If you’re able to get it hung from a tree or a stand, the way it unzips open to where you can easily access all pockets is a huge plus.
