For my ladder stand I will cut a couple cedar trees to run up each side and then I will brush the top in with anything I can find. I wire tie 1" by 2" long pvc around the stand so I can just stick the ends of the branches in . My hang ons I try and put in a think spot in the tree and if need be I will brush it in. For climbers I try and get a couple trees that are close together so it breaks my out line up a bit. I also go higher with them.
