re: Reminder - Stand Safety

You climb the first time with your harness strap wrapped around the tree moving it up as you go. Once you have either placed your loc-on stand or ladder stand, you attached a life line higher than the platform you sit on. You can then use a prusik knot on that lifeline to ascend and descend with relative ease.
It’s a lot easier than moving a strap each time and several manufacturers make them if you don’t want to make your own.
