That's pretty darn close to how I do it too, RJ... The only variation is that I usually just have the stand on my back and when I get to the height I want to hang the stand, I simply slip it off and hang it. Keep in mind that I'm like you... I've always got my lineman's belt around the tree and attached to the d-loops on my harness, which always gives me both hands free to work with in taking the stand off my back and hanging it.
