Two ways I get them up from the ground. 1- use the belt or chain and put it over your shoulder, like a backpack and climb. 2 - I aways use camo decoy line as a rope for pulling up my bow from the ground. Use that line to lift it from the ground.

The last tip.....many of the good safety harnesess have a "lineman's belt" built into them. this can be useful giving you 2 hands for setting up the stand.

They're kind of tricky until you've done a few. If you use a hang-on like a Chiooewa Wedglok its way easier! Those hang on with one hand in about 4 seconds!

Good Luck!
