RE: Have you ever fallen from a tree stand???
 

Yeah, I fell once. I was setting up my homemade stands, and I could not get the strap around the tree( it was too big). So I leaned against a branch to reach it, and snap. I fell about 15 feet to the ground and landed on my side. Lucky for me it had just snowed about 2 inches and I was alright.
