I can't do it.

I can’t make myself carry more than I have to through the woods.

All you really need is 2 sticks if you are truly hunting a cypress type swamp. Just get yourself 6-8 feet off the ground in a tree with thick cover. Getting high is mostly for when there's no leaves on the tree, swamps usually have enough evergreen's that's never an issue.
I mean 2 sticks or even 3, and a easy hang loc on and you can be hunting in 2 minutes easy peasy. Not even BS'ing that time, I have a lone wolf sticks and stand and you can hang that with 2 sticks in under a minute if I didn't care about sweating and noise. They are fast as crap. No real need for a harness at 8 feet either, I know I may deserve grief for that but so be it. I always wear it in my climber but I'm usually going 15-25 ft.
Just position yourself in the right trees where you are unlikely to have deer right under or really close to you, keep the trails 25 yards away and you are good to go. There's tons of swamp trees that I could almost dance in the stand with so much cover they'd never see you.

I have never set up climbing sticks and a lock on the day if the hunt. Y’all must be soaking wet with sweat by the time y’all get settled in. At least I would be.

Me neither.

What you doing this week? We can get together and I can show you my Lone Wolf lock-on and stick setup. Have used it a lot in the same swamp you're hunting.
