I put the Harness to the tree as soon as I get on my stand (climber) - and don't take it off until I am back down -Period. I don't fool around with my life!!!!!!
The thing is a pain in the Arse, I fumble with it in the dark, in the light, on the ground and in the tree.............
But I owe it to myself, and the few people who love me

, to make it home after a hunt.
If you do not use a good harness IMO you are a FOOL[

], and a selfish one at that..............and I mean it!!
