How to Hang a Ladder Stand Alone | Erecting a New Stand | Ladder Stand Set Up

Nathan hits the woods to demonstrate how he hangs ladder stands when he is all by him self. He shares some helpful hints and tips for anyone who has to do it alone.

Here's a modification that I made. While the stand is on the ground, tie a safety line to one corner of the back of the seat where it will be closest to the tree. You may also want to attach the criss-cross straps at this time. Once the stand is up against the tree and the platform is level, walk the crisscross straps around behind the tree in opposite directions and attach to the ladder. Next, walk the safety line around the tree. Carry everything you need on your person before climbing, like ratchet straps and tree tether in a fanny pack. Pull tightly on the safety line as you climb, which will hold the stand against the tree. At the top, attach tree tether to tree and harness before installing ratchet straps. Then untie the safety line and install it at head height on the tree. Clip into the safety line for the trip down and secure the line at the bottom once down.

I like to add a Rachet strap to the ladder stabilizing bar. really locks the ladder in and reduces movement.

I was a tower climber- I would put carabiners on the end of the rope on both ends and easily and quickly attach to your harness.

The 2 long straps that come off the platform I always tie them first before I go up to put the rachet strap on that way it helps keep the stand to the tree then after that you can make adjustments to them if need be .
