Bring two screw in ladder steps, in the event you fall out of the stand, the ladder steps help you get back in pretty quick. I keep them in my outer pants pockets while climbing and while in stand.
Another tip, if you are on private land, clear the area around you stand of leaves and twigs, this way when you set up in the dark, you don't have to worry about snapping twigs or crunching leaves.
My bow holder which is mounted to the top portion of the climber holds all my clothing while I climb, the only pull rope I use is for my bow. At the top, I screw in the utility hooks and hang my gear off the tree (quiver, rattle horns, clothing, day pack). Don't forget to fasten the strap that comes with all Summits to the top portion of the climber and make it tight, this way when you get up from sitting, if you bump that platform it will not fall.
