RE: Ever fallen out of a tree?
Last year '02, I fell 12' while climbing up to a stand. Luckily I fell perfectly flat on my back in some really tall grass. When I realized I was ok, I kind of chuckled. It was just like the "Nestea Plunge". Up till then I had never hunted with a safety belt.
I now own a Seat-of -the Pants full harness!
The only way to go!
Good Luck!
