In the past and in the future i always put my strap as to where if i was to fall i would not fall past the platfprm of my stand , meaning keep it tight . now i am getting a little older and i made a visit to Bass Pro in Charlotte NC and bought me one of the new Hunters Safety Vest it is a full body harness that is made inside a vest . it cost a little ( 100.00 )
but it sure bets falling out of a tree and killing yourself
