This same thing happened to a friend of a friend of mine. There were 4 of us hunting together and we all seperated to hunt different parts of the woods. Long story short...he didn't show at the parking area so we went looking for him. He was using a Loggy w/ the sling on the climber. The platform slipped when he was trying to get his feet set in the bunjee cords. And no rope connection between the 2. he was 15 ft. up hoping we would come find him. After we tied a haul rope to the platform and he was able to get it up the tree. I asked him from the ground if he had the 2 pieces tied together. NO, I DON"T NEED THAT. He said. DAAHH!!!!
If we were not all together I wonder if he would know how to speak raccoon now???
