It can be done...
Items needed
(1)Hunting stand (of course)
(1)Tree (...)
(1)Extension ladder
(4)Heavy duty ratchet straps (long straps)
First, find your area and tree you want...
Second, put your stand on the side of the tree you want to face out...
Third, put your extension ladder up the other side of the tree...
Forth, climb up ladder and ratchet one of the straps as high as you can to the tree (the strap does not have to be tight just snugg)...
Fifth, hook two ratchets one on each side of the ratchet strap you have around the tree(ratchets facing outward and so they crank or tighten when you pull down on them)...
Sixth, attach the other ends of the straps and hooks to each side of the stand...
Seventh, climb back up the extension ladder and crank both ratchets at the sametime and stand will move up the tree...
Eight, once treestand is in place take forth ratchet strap and secure it to the tree...Done
I put up a double buddy stand with an extra 4' section on it this way with miminal trouble. I would suggest if you are accident prone to put a safty harness on and strap it to the tree when your on the ladder in case you fall, but if the stand falls (don't know how) but if it does you will be away from the stand cause you will be on the other side of the tree. About the only problem I encounter with this was I had to move the stand away from the tree a couple of times cause it caught the tree. All I did was just wiggle the ladder part of the stand just a bit to move it and the second time I stuck an old pine limb between the stand and tree and once the stand reached about 4 or 5 feet off the ground it was no problem it went right up. Again if your accident prone please don't try this with out a harness or a buddy. Just my 2 cent worth.
