I've used my HSS linemans belt when hanging stands and it is great. The only safe way to do it IMO. Keeps you strapped to the tree and your hands free.

Aaron.
I have an extra Summit climbing system that you can use for a lock-on. You hook up at the base of your tree.....and stay hooked up the entire time. You're welcome to use it all season.

I just got the HSS vest...it is awesome!! I used the linemans belt last weekend to put some hang-ons on and I was able to use both my hands to put it up. HSS is the best vest out there!

I just use the rope that came with my Lone Wolf stand on my SeatO Pants harness.
Really makes it nice when hanging stands.

There is also a retractable line that works like a seat belt in your car you can use... I can remember the name of it... They make a three foot line for sitting in your stand (I bought one to try this year) and a 20 foot line to keep hooked to you on the climb down.

RE: Safety Harness Question... Ascending/Descending
It's exactlythe same thing that I linked to in the HSS lifeline and the directions I outlined for you for the home made version.
A long length of rope tied to the tree above your stand and at the bottom of your stand. You hook into the prussic knot and slide it up or down as you are climbing up and down the ladder. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
A linemans belt is used while hanging stands or taking them down not for climbing up and down the ladders while hunting.
