If I'm hanging a hang on it's going to have to have some type of haul line available to pull up my bow. SO, I tie a haul line to the stand and the other end to my belt. I climb the tree putting up the sticks or whatever wearing my climbing belt or HSS vest. When I get to where I want I usually screw in a step to temporarily hold the stand. I pull the stand up and then hang it. I shorten the haul line to the proper length and I'm done.
