I hate to hear that but the way I look at it, there is no excuse for not buying a safety harness and more importantly, using it. I know my life and or limb is worth the $70.00 I spent for my Seat O the Pants harness. I never get into the tree without it. If you don' t have $70.00 to spend then get one of the less expensive ones, I think some of them run around $30.00. Sacrifice buying that new pack of broadheads and buy the harness instead.
