Amen to the "rolling".  Last year, I went up an old ladder stand that I had and the danged thing broke!  It wasn't supported correctly so it snapped in the middle. That was the last time I've even wanted to climb up one. 

I had to in South Carolina, but a young guy carried all of my stuff up the ladder first.  For me it isn't as much rolling because of weight it is because I have MS and my feet and sometimes my hands are numb. 

I have now resorted to only using ground blinds for safety.  On my hunting property I buy them when they are on special and just set them up. The weeds grow up around them this time of year and camos them up for me.
