It's posts like this that keep me from getting lazy - every once in a while I get tempted to leave the harness behind.
A little tip for those who have the antiquated 4-point harness that come with most stands today:
Mark the inside of the "X" on the harnessthat goes across your back. Reach for this part of the harness when picking it up and orient that X towards your back as if you were putting on a coat. The thing magically seems to fall into place. So simple, but saves some time in the morning when getting up that tree is foremost in your mind.
Thats all I use, they take sometime getting used to but well worth the practice. I can simply pick mine up and slip it on wiht out worrying about if its twisted or tangled. Its becom a second nature.These kinds are now comming with Quick Release Clips designed for climbing. I use it all the time in my climber and while hanging stands.
