Another thing i like to do when climbing or hanging a stand is to think about where the sun is going to be when im hunting. The last thing you want is the sun glaring in your face for 4 hours. I know that is kind of nitty thing but it really sucks when you are stuck with it. It makes it less comfortable and takes away from your concealment.

I too consider the sun somewhat. I like to have the sun at my back in the evening, if possible, to give the deer less of a chance to have me spotlighted. With my back to the tree, and the sun to tree, and the sun in the deer's eyes, I think it helps a lot.
