I try to stick around 25 feet. I've had 1 fall from about 20 feet and another from around 15. The fall from 20 feet happened when I got in a tree that was as slick as snot and pretty much frozen from the previous nights rain. I started to come down and my stand just slid down the tree about a hundred miles an hour. I sprained my ankle but nothing too serious. The fall from 15 feet happened when I didn't have my safety rope tied to the bottom part of stand and it fell out from under me while I was climbing down. I didn't have a safety harness on and I fell back but luckily had no injuries except for a battered ego. No matter how high I go now I always have all the neccessary safety equipment.
Oh yeah. I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I was around here a long time ago. Well last year and haven't been back in a while. With the season coming on I couldn't stay away.
