I just continue to buy more lock on's and ladder stands. I love climbers once I'm in the tree, but even though the new ones are pretty quiet, there is nothing like being able to climb up a set of climbing sticks or a ladder. Easy and quiet...also beats climbing up a couple of benches with a stand on your back.
Probably make more sense to move some that I already have but the way I see it, the more "good" stand locations the lower the pressure. My goal every year is to have 3 or 4 really good spots in the mnt. that give me a good place regardless of wind, plus the other 8-10 stands that have produced over the years, plus foodplots for when I want to take my kids or I get tired of the mnt. These preferred stands are either new areas or just a new tree a hundred yds or so from an old stand location. Typically set these up based on previous season's sign or early fall pictures. Nothing like hunting a new spot, although unless you have unlimited acreage they get harder and harder to come by
