Wear gloves, facemask, and a good camo pattern that is not faded and blends in well with the surroundings. Realtree AP works a lot of different places. The Mossy Oak Treestand looks like it would too. 3D camouflage is amazing. I always wear a 3D jacket bowhunting and turkey hunting. This one in particular.

While wrapping your stand with fabric or something sounds like a good idea, you have to be careful not to make a huge blob of a silhouette up in the tree. Finding a spot with great natural backcover is very important as well.
