Best advice I can give you is go out with someone who has hung stands many many times.

I actuallyhave an extension ladder that is a dedicated hanger I place it against the tree, run a rachet strap around the middle rung and the tree and tighten. it gives me a steady base to go up and do what I have to do. i like it better thna a linemans belt becuase I feel more secure, But I still wear a harnes when I am at the top installing the thing. after I have it up I put on the tree steps, or I have even just left the ladder. works great, and its fast.
Good luck and be safe

Take it from me, have a vicodin or two and relax. You won't want to be putting up stands!

Please dont be climbing while under influence of any drug or alcohol. not a good combo.

Cherry-picker would be my choice. Catapult might work, too. (Although, I can't see that ending well.)
