Anyone else find it difficult to attach their ladderstand platforms to the tree? how do you guys do it?

The ratchet is always a pain to toss around the tree......then if you go to step on the platform it wants to fall before its ratcheted, so I'm stuck standing on the ladder bent way over trying to attach it to the tree.

Some of those platforms are long too so bending over to grab to the tree is far/awkward, also those ratchets always are in bad spots like behind the tree, just a big pain, and kinda unsafe, what you suppose to bring a 24' extension ladder in the woods with you?
