wow meanV...thats exzactly what i dont want to happen. could happen to anyone. i almost took a couple spills last year. once was a rainy day and i was close to falling...another i didnt strap in the climber and it about fell with me in it...anything can happen....

i get on my buddy year after year. offered him a harness figuring maybe he didnt own one and didnt wanna buy one...he said he had a bunch of them laying around. one day i will get through....just hope its before he wishes he had one on.

i wont leave the ground without being attached. just aint worth it. ya it takes me a minute longer to climb...ya it seems like a PIA...but i will do ANYTHING to ensure i live to hunt another day....
