Um, excuse me, but how in the world do you intend to put up your CLIMBER stand ahead of season. Are you going to live in the stand til season? I thought you "put up" a climber with you in it, when your ready to use it.

As for any other kinds of stands, our farm has a whole bunch of (mostly ladder) stands that have been there for years. A few extras get popped up prior to season depending upon sign.
