Went thru that a bit myself - mostly fear that I’d drop one. I find putting one in the tree and then bending my knee up into it helps. The trick is to get ur lineman’s belt back on and you won’t spin like a ballerina.

Most guys add layers at the bottom of the tree or once they are through climbing. If you are going to actually change base layers I would do it at the base of the tree before climbing. I usually hook my linesmans rope back up If adding or removing bottoms. I think this is why @Erniepower started using a platform. It’s easier to stand on to add layers compared to a ring of steps. If wearing something like insulated bibs you can put them on before climbing and just leave them unzipped. I rarely have to add layers though. So far this year I’ve been soaked every time I’ve worn my scent lock savanna suit. This next week we will have highs in the 50’s so I may even get to break out a hoodie.
I don't do anything with bottoms, what I've been doing is stand up, pull tether tight, attach line man's belt pull into tree,then work at it is this a good way or is there a better way to do it?
HBS in the saddle....I didnt think it was possible. I love my HBS but i bought the Firstlite sanctuary bibs and jacket to replace it. I didnt think I could saddle hunt with it on. Please let us know how it is.

My son hunts in a HBS modified similiar to @kenn1320 . He actually just hunted in it this morning. I was cold and jealous.
