I 100% wear a harness when I'm up in a tree, However, I do not when I'm going up or down. And I know thats the most dangerous time. Ive usually had very safe climbs and was very carefull, but this year in my High stand, there are no limbs, nothing to break me or my fall except the ground. I get very uneasy.
Could someone give me a name as to a harness that has the belt thing that goes around the tree and hooks backnear your waist/chestas you climb? Also, what is this piece called? Linemans belt maybe??

The linemans belt is what goes around the tree and should go through 2 loops on your harness. Now there are somje newer systems that you install a rope to a limb at the top of the tree near your stand and hooked on this rope is some kind of buckle that you slide up and down the rope as you climb up and down so that you are alway atached. not for sure what it is clled.I saw it on drury outdoors dream season i think it was like season 2 or 3.
Are you talking about climbers or lock on /ladder stands?

Tie a length of double braid rope to thetree above the stand and secure it to the bottom justto keep it near the treebut do not make it taught, there needs to bejust a slight bit of"slack" in it.
Attach the strap of your safety harness to this prussic knot with a carabiner. It will slide up and down the rope but instantly tightens up should you fall.

A linemans belt is designed to go around the tree and atach to you waist on each side of your harness. It is designed to catch you if you fall but allows you to lean against the belt when installing steps, ladders, lock ons etc...

My Gorilla safety harness is designed with a climbing aid that wraps around the tree allowing me to be able to climb without the fear of hitting the ground.
