most every tree stand you buy Comes with a harness. Are they Hunter Safety Systems? no. but something is better than nothing. whether it be a simple around the waist old school, or an actual upper body harness from the same nylon material, cost should be the last factor...you can get those for next to nothing. Nothing is worth risking injury or death at least to me.. (and yes death can occur, i've known of a few cases.) Wear a harness!
