The kind of safety harnesses that come with tree stands are usually the cheap kind and are pretty uncomfortable, but I'm looking into the hunter safety system, only reason why i haven't bought it yet is that it's $120. HSS looks really comfortable and easy to use so i would say its a good investment. I used one of the cheaper kinds of harnesses once and didn't like it so i sit without one. Hopefully I'll save up enough money for the HSS before the season starts up again!!
