Default I want to keep ONE person safe.......

In light of the recent "Harness Saved my Life", and "Fell from a Treestand" posts here, and considering that #1) Treestands are the single most dangerous aspect of our sport, and #2) Probably far too many members here neglect using or buying a hraness for various reasons........if the $$$ of buying a decent harness is an issue as to why someone isn't usingone I want to help that person out.

I have a brand new in the package Summit SOP full body harness, safety rope and prussic hitch, and D ring complete with the directions for it's safe use.........on me , for a needy member or member's young hunter.

If you want to "turn over a new leaf" in treestand safety and this is something that youWILL use PM me......please don't take it from someone who really needs it. (We all need a back-up but not this one[:@])

I only have one, but who knows.......it might be THE one.

Matt, I know you aren't looking for that (good boy pat on the back) but I have to say that is a pretty stand up thing you are doing, I just hope someone who needs it will step up and take the offer. this is what our sport is about also, hunters helping out other hunters. I am honored to be a part of this group.
Daryl.

Sorry to everyone who will reply........the harness has found a good home.

Make sure you wear it Dustin or I'll hang ya from it.

Daryl,
I lost one friend already to a hunting accident this year, I really don't want to hear about another preventable accident.

Everyone please be safe out there, it only takes a few extra seconds to make sure you get back home in one piece EVERYTIME.

Remember:
Tell someone where you will be
When to expect you
Carry a cell phone if possible (On your body)
Wear your harness everytime.

You da man Matt.I heard of someone in my area who fell out last year
and broke his back. He was that close to being a paraplegic. You may have saved
someone.

Good deal Buddy.......great gesture. By the way, I will follow your lead, I have the harness from two years ago, brand new in the pack, it is also the summit full body. Jusy PM me and I will send it to you. Matt inspired me to do a random act of kindness. I ecently got another SOP from Summit and already have another so Iwill gladly give up my third one if someone needs one. so PM me...............good Job Matt. That is why I am your friend....[8D]
