Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

I did this last year in hopes of promoting treestand safety, and would like to offer the same to a couple fellow bowhunters again this year.

Here's what I have:
1. Summit Full Body harness system with lineman's belt, prussic rope attachment and suspension relief strap.
2. Big Dog Full Body Harness system. (Both harnesses are brand new in the package w/ instructions.)

I am offering these up free andI only ask 2 things of anyone who would like one of them..........only take it if you need one, and PROMISE to use it if you do.

I know there are still a few of us out there for whatever reason do not wear one, and I know cost is a factor so this one's on me. Maybe I can keep one of you wing dings from taking a header this year.;)

PM me with your full name and address. I'll take the first 2 names I get and randomly pick who gets which one.
I'll come back on here and update the post when both are spoken for.

Stay safe out there! :)

awesome Matt. its the people on this website that keep me comin back....we got a good group here. Good job Matt

i cant figure out why guys choose not to use their harnesses. these days they got 100 different styles and i havent seen a stand NOT come with atleast a basic one. why risk it?? i keep tellin my good buddy to start wearing his for his own sake...he says he dont know why he dont wear it but he is honest and says he probably wont start. thats the first thing i do when arriving at my hunting location is strap on the harness....i want to come out of the woods on my own 2 feet just how i went in...

I've worked construction my whole life. Being up high and climbing has always been pretty much an everyday thing for me. I used to never wear a harness and it was nothing for me to be 25' to 30' up in a tree. One night my Brother in Law didn't come home. We were not sure where he was even hunting. A few hours later we found him alive, but Spine was broke. They air lifted him out. I was there for the whole ordeal. He was one of the toughest guys I ever knew, and let me tell you he was in some severe pain that evening. I NEVER get in a tree anymore without being hooked up. Stay after your friend!! You might just save his life somewhere down the road.

wow meanV...thats exzactly what i dont want to happen. could happen to anyone. i almost took a couple spills last year. once was a rainy day and i was close to falling...another i didnt strap in the climber and it about fell with me in it...anything can happen....

i get on my buddy year after year. offered him a harness figuring maybe he didnt own one and didnt wanna buy one...he said he had a bunch of them laying around. one day i will get through....just hope its before he wishes he had one on.

i wont leave the ground without being attached. just aint worth it. ya it takes me a minute longer to climb...ya it seems like a PIA...but i will do ANYTHING to ensure i live to hunt another day....

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

well done, thanks for thinking of people, maybe next season i might be able to do the same

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Both Harnesses are spoken for, thank you for the interest, it really is an important topic........I know we all think we're bulletproof but you don't want to find out the hard way that you are not:(. I had a buddy who was probably part squirrel fall 22 ft a couple years ago and broke 3 vertebrae.[:-]

Note: Mdbowhunter16 sent me a message and he was the 3rd person to ask for one of the harnesses. He has a brother who will be hunting for the first time this season who could use one. If anyone has one to spare and would like to offer it up please contact Mdbowhunter16 (Kevin)

Thank you and have a great season!
Matt

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Thank you for thinking of your fellow hunters!!The thought is greatly appreciated. Good Luck to you this season!!!!!

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Yes, once again thank you very much Matt. Tomorrow's my birthday andI just got a awesome present:D. Thank you, it's very much appreciated.:)

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Just wanted to bring this to the top one time because I am still receiving PM's from guys who could use a harness.:(

If anyone has one to offer up shoot me a PM and I can put you in contact with these members.

thanks.

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Good for you Matt!!

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

My brother in law took a fall from about 22 feet last year out of his tree stand. He didnt wear a harness and both me and my brother have been trying to get him to wear one for years. He broke his hip and his shoulder and had to be life flighted to the hospital. It was on most of the local news here in the Pittsburgh area. I know the EMT's had a hell of a time getting him out. Matt I think that what you are doing is awesome and I just hope that the guys wear them.

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

I don't know if I still have the whole Summit set up like Matt does, but I know I have the harness for sure. I just bought aseat of the pants harnesslast year so I don't use it. I'll offer it up on the same conditions as Matt. Look at the PENNSYLVANIA guys go!

RE: Keepin' Ya Safe 2
 

Ok guys I'm gonna take one more shot at it, I Still have a small list of guys that I haven't been able to pair up with a harness. If anyone has one with the tether for attachment to the tree (obviously in good condition or new;)) that they would consider offering to these guys I will list them here and you can contact them about what you have.

I think I have 1 more Summit system at home somewhere, I just have to remember where I "lost" it. If I find it I will pass it along as well.

Here are the guys who expressed a need for a harness either for themselves or a fellow bowhunter:(please contact them directly if you can help)
