I've always done that. I could climb and hang quieter than any climberstand I've ever heard. I use a rock climbing belt and strap in before hanging the stand so I have both hands free. I used to use screw-ins because they are small and fit in a fanny pack. They have aged beyond useful life and I haven't found an acceptable small/quiet stick ladder solution, though I'm looking at LW sticks, so I'm hunting the ground where mobility is necessary. I'll put up stands on my property and hunt them but when I have to go into a new place that requires same-day hanging I am currently using my ghillie and tree seat. The key is to have one good stand that has been custom quieted (moleskin etc) by you and that you know well enough to hang with your eyes closed, on multiple types of trees.
