I am super glad you are okay but you know it's coming.

What where you thinking? 18 yrs. same stand and ithat stand is left in the tree?
And no Safety Harness......I teach using 3 points of contact going up - immediately tether yourself to the tree before you do anything else. That is what I teach in all my Hunter Education classes. And then we practice it!
That Safety Harness would have prevented your fall. And Safety Harnesses should be replaced every 3 to 5 yrs.
Next time you may not be so lucky!

But I like said I sure am glad you are Okay!

And Ps
We don't want to loose you!
