Everyone has made great suggestions. Definitely do not leave the stand, sticks, or straps after the season and before every use I would readjust everything. I would also take a look at the M100 or M150 by Millennium. Their camlock system is really nice to be able to change your kill zone, by simply picking it up and moving to the next camlock system. The stands are really light so getting back into the deep woods like you want shouldnt be a problem.

Hope this helps!
