I can't remember his name.......but the owner of Thompson Center Arms (yeah...the guy in all of their commercials) fell from a tree stand and couldn't walk for 2-3 years. HIS story....as with many others....is very TRUE.....VERY REAL.....and should be a lesson to us all, too.

For $89....I bought three climbing systems from Summit, this year.....to leave on the trees at my hang-on stand locations. Protection from the ground to the top....without having to use the lineman's belt. I figure it's $89 worth of insurance that is pretty cheap.

Have a great year guys....and thanks for the reminder(s).
