Really surprized to hear you say that Droptine. I have worked on poles for years and would never think to NOT tie myself in. Too easy to take a little nap or whatever.
I like your posts (usually) so how about strapping one on so to speak so we can hear a little more from you.
I was gonna post about 2 local tree stand accidents but we all know what the results were to some degree..
PS.. I have a harness still in the package. Love to send it to you.
