Default RE: Almost a Statistic This Morning

Anyone that hunts in a treestand is foolish not to have a safety harness. I admit I've done it dozens of times. A good friend of mine fell about 8 feet and broke his wrist a few years ago. Had to have pins put in to let it heel properly.

I went out and bought a Loggy Bayou safety harness and a Fall Guy Retractor safety strap. I love it. The retractor (once strapped to the tree) allows you to be hooked while climbing in and out. The Fall Guy system works like a seat belt, one quick move and it locks in place. In my opinion worth every penny.

If anyone ou there isn't using a harness, please go get one and use it!!!

Mike
