A little tip for those who have the antiquated 4-point harness that come with most stands today:
Mark the inside of the "X" on the harnessthat goes across your back. Reach for this part of the harness when picking it up and orient that X towards your back as if you were putting on a coat. The thing magically seems to fall into place. So simple, but saves some time in the morning when getting up that tree is foremost in your mind.
I put an X on mine too. I find the X, put on the right shoulder strap to hold the harness up. Then do the waist strap and then put on the other shoulder strap. I then do the legs and thats it. A minute tops.
