Default Harness or (No Harness from a tree)

ALWAYS A HARNESS. FIRST THING I DO IS STRAP IN....THEN I TINKER WITH ALL MY WHISTLES.

YOU GUYS LAUGH...BUT...THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT STILL GO WITHOUT A STRAP. I'VE SEEN AND HEARD OF SOME BAD EXPERIENCES...

My harness is on and the strap is around the tree before my climber leaves the ground. My family is aware of the statistics.
