fall guy restraint system
well i got my fall guy restraint system yesterday, i liked the vest but the seat belt type fall restraint is a little bigger than i thought it would be, but i think it is an awesome design, anyone else have one of these, it is from integrated safety...

Go to the hardware store and purchase you a couple hundred feet of good rope. Enough for each of your stands. Tie them off at the top of each stand then when you start to climb, tie a prusiks hitch on each rope. Attach your harness to the prusiks hitch, slide it up as you climb. Super safe and alot less expensive. Just make sure that you have atleast four to six wraps on your prusiks hitch.

You have to buy one for each tree. terribly expensive but you cannot fall with one! If you think about it, it's well worth the money. Think of all the stories about guys getting hurt badly falling from trees. I don't see how you can possibly fall if you have one of these in every tree and use them every time!

I have the vest, which works great and two of the retractors. I really like them and got all three on sale at the local farm supply store for a good deal less than the advertised price on the web site. Keep an eye out for sales. It works for me because I only have two stands our right now in addition to several hub style blinds. But I would try the rope method if I were going to have a lot of tree stands.
