They are unwieldy when they're up in the air.I agree with putting something under the feet to keep the legs from sinking into the ground.If you climb the stand before it is strapped to the tree, they may tend to roll around the tree - depending on whether there are branches in the way of course. Climbing a stand before it is strapped down is an uncomfortable feeling. Like Okie said, use another ladder to tie down the stand.A powered saw may be helpful to have along.Make sure nothing is poking you in the back or your head. It won't be something you can just "live with" later. Also, a seat that tilts you forward (not level) will be painful after a few hours.Ask yourself if your setup will be comfortable and make sure it is. I always spend some time critiquing the tree I think I'm gonna use. What branches am I gonna have to cut off. What all is gonna be in the way. Which way will I be facing and what direction will I probably be shooting (left or right handed too).I've put up more than one stand and was unhappy with something on opening day.If you're gonna put up multiple stands, consider who might be down range from who.</blockquote>
