RE: How many stands?
Yea I also have 2 "natural" ground blinds that I have set up where there are no suitable trees available. I've also ordered one of the Primos Predator blinds to put up along a brushy field edge that offers no good stand sites.

Just out of curiousity, wouldn't it be easier for you to use a climber instead of setting up sticks and what not every time or do your areas trees not allow for good climbing? Not criticizing just curious.

One pretty well is all I use, my LW alpha. Goes in and out each setup. No worry of thievery, no squirrels chewing on anything, and the deer can't get onto me as I am always moving and hunting with the proper wind. Plus the extra physical activity of lugging a stand/sticks in each time and setting up/tearing down keeps me healthy and in top physical shape and is more fun than constantly going to the gym.

Gr8 question. I had a Summit Viper and sold it...in the midwest woods I hunt I found a climber too tree specific and I didn't get to hunt the trees I wanted to; I hunted the tree that the climber would work in. My LW hangon and sticks pretty well will work anywhere. Lots more choices; I hunt where I want to instead of where the climber allows me to. I do plan on getting a LW hand climber for next years MN hunt in the nasty, gnarley, steep mountains that SE MN offer, to keep weight down.

RE: How many stands?
at each area I hunt theres always:
1 - near scrapes
1- between food and beds
1- near the bedroom
...and at least one natural cover...blowdowns or high grass along fencelines....
Try this....sit on the downwind side of a rockwall near a trail in the mornings...it's kinda neat to have them walk right past you...lol.....Gihli suit for those days are a must....
