I don't feel comfortable in a stand unless I'm hooked up. I'm not afraid of heights, just falling. Having a harness on is like havingcarinsurance, sucks to pay for it but better have it when that accident happens...
I am the same when it comes to that. I can't hunt comfortably without having a harness on.
I have fallen while climbing. It's been said here before and I'll say it again. If that happens to you, you are going down hard and quick. Don't even think you might grab something, and God help you if you land wrong.
I try to wear a harness going up and down with a climber.
