Not using 6 sticks. Got alarms on buzzbars and using a T set up.

Everyone will have their own ways, but I have also found that using a decent bivvy peg to pilot the hole then wiggling your bank stick in is the best method. I have found the digging sticks to be no better than a decent bank stick and more c**p to carry

As much as a pod is easier, and I use mine frequently, it's not always practical if you have to point your rod at your end tackle and are fishing different spots in different directions.

You cant 👍🏻

Good to see different opinions, even if some of them do make you look a C*** 
Ive got a fox black label pod, and the bank sticks literally wont drive into the ground, even with a pilot hole from a bivvy peg. The ground literally is solid (stones and rocks).
I love the pod and still use it, just found that screwing in 1 bank stick on each buzz bar, and making 2 holes is quicker than setting the pod up, and having to take apart at the end of a session.

Just leave it set up! There's no way I'd be using a pod if I had to keep building it and taking it apart again, screwing on buzzers etc. Otherwise, you have no other options left, you're just going to have to sit and hold all 3 rods and hope you don't get a double take.

I leave the alarms on obviously, but then theres four sticks (2 on front and 2 on back) to take apart (goal post style), and the pod base?
How do you leave all that set up and still packed away at the end of a session?

I just flip it upside down, extend it and lay it over whatever is at the top of the barrow - so the alarms are hanging over one side and the back rests on the other side. Then when I fit the bungee cords (as you would do anyway) I make sure it's holding the pod so it doesn't fall off. It's a Jag Super Compact, so 4 sticks and a fairly low central bar. Then in the car, just put stuff on / around it, it doesn't really take up much room, you just need to pack it well.
