re: Do you use a safety harness when hunting in a tree stand?

The one time I didnt wear mine , was in a lean to.

I stood up to grab my bow when I saw a deer, then did the Wiley Coyote going off a cliff dance.

I saw my life flash infront of me. I regained my balance, and couldn't calm down for a few minutes.

I've never left it on the bike, or at the camp since.

I bet you felt alive as frick once you regained balance though!!

Glad to see you were ok.

been too many times to count that i've come a curnt hair from hurting myself bad.. Most of em was in my first 2, 3, or 4th decades...

No, never.

yeah,, the kind that will go on down... that other kind, sometimes you need a bite of whitebread and a swaller of milk to get it to pass...

Ptttuhhh

I wear it religiously. If I forget it, then I'm not climbing that day. There's too many pro's and not enough con's to warrant going without one. I can promise you if ya ever had a stand slip with ya,then you'll never climb without one. Ya owe it to the folks that care about ya to wear it. Plus the one pictured is comfortable

I've never worn one. I probably need to, especially in some of the lock ons I've got hung. I can't see myself falling out a climber though.

Getting in and out of a lock on is the most dangerous time. Every person I personally know that fell, did so during this move.

No doubt.
