always use one...soon as i leave the ground on the climber..

i lied...one time this year i didnt....took it, wore it...went to tie off to find out i couldnt use it hunting from my buddies tree lounge..its a bigger, older model and he leaves it there like a lock on. i just couldnt stand up if i was tied off...ended up killing my first bow buck that day from it that thing scared me...liked it...just didnt like how far away from the tree i felt when standing and how it was so far out it kinda shook and moved alot...would definently liked to been tied off...stupid stupid move...it was breaking light and the temp was the coldest it been...a low just moved out of the area...i KNEW it was the day...and nowhere else to hold my summit in that area...going to have to make a longer tie off rope for that stand if i hunt it next season...
