Of course, I'm old and knew paratroopers. And for the life of me, I could never get it out of my mind, that a safety harness was like a paratrooper harness, and nothing about them was ever totally safe to me.

Of course when safety harnesses were introduced in hunting, I instantly fell to memories of those paratroopers and the thought of physical fitness. And we know physical fitness is rarely brought up on hunters.

And all this came to mind when I was tying my own prussic(prusik) knots and thinking of the actual physical fitness required to use them from a tree.

But it's not the first time I've thought of strange connections. Price of getting older I guess.
