My prayers go out to his family. Hate to admit it but i'm one of those guys who never thinks about falling from a tree, until last year .I use only lock-on's i have three of them in the woods 2 have climbing sticks and the one has screw in steps that one it my best stand anyways one morn i was starting to climb up the tree like a squirrel like i've alway done but this time half way up one of the steps broke, talking about seeing your life flash before your eyes will i pulled my self up to the next step but when i got up to my stand i put my harness on sat therebreaking out into a sweat and talking deep breaths. Now when i go up a tree i take my time making sure every step is solid. Oh and yes i was praying to god for saving my life yhat morn .
