Ever since i have been hunting i have always used a climber or ladder stands. Today i got a really good deal on a lock-on with climbing sticks. I'm planning on hanging it this thursday afternoon.

My question for all of you, what steps or procedures do you use to get that sucker hung? Do you piece together all the climbing sticks on the ground and then walk it up the tree, then fasten each section as you climb up? Anyone ever tried using a climber and then hoisting the stand up to you and attaching it above your head? I'm kinda at a loss on exactly how to do this. I will have a buddy with me, but he's only ever used a climber too.

Thanks,

Dustin.
