Hey Guys,

I am 25 6'6" and weigh 300 lbs. You have to be crazier then hell not to wear a harness up in a tree. Falling 200 lbs falling even 10 feet is enough to kill you, or sit in a whellchair for the rest of your life. I have an API and Summitt stand that are both rated to 350. The full body harness that comes with both is also rated to 350, and the Summitt is tested to 1,000. Like David, I am married witha young child and I owe it to my family to take extra precautions when I am in a tree. Just ask a guy I know in the next town over who had to crawl out 3/4 mile to the road on his elbows when he fell out of his tree. He is alive, but in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
