re: Walk-in hunting to flooded lake bottom - where do you put your gear?

Duck sled

I have one and use it getting gear into the hole, but don't like the large dark block profile it gives sitting next to me so we usually push it off 30 or 40 yards in the opposite direction of the decoys. I feel like ducks have flared off of it before when overhead and it was right next to me. Probably just in my head, but I'd prefer to use a pole or stand or something with a smaller profile if possible.
