I couldn't decide between "everytime I get off the ground" and "I put it on before I get off the ground" so I just flipped a coin on it. Hope I made the right decision.

I value my family to much not to wear one.

I wear mine as soon as I get off the ground, and I use it to get on and off my stand, because that is where most fall occur.

This is going to be my first year bowhunting, so it is also going to be my first year using a tree stand, a climber. I can't see how you would not want to wear one. I have two young children that need a father, so I think it would be selfish for me to go up there without one.

I don't know what the difference is:

Every time I get off the ground
I put it on before I get off the ground
