I would if I used the one you and GMMAT use, in my Ol'man I'm not worried one bit. I secure it once at my destination height and unbuckle it when I'm position to climb down.

Lot of good the harness he had on did him... looks like he forgot one small little detail: hooking up.
It really is amazing how many people I know STILL don't use a harness -- at ANY time. |

the issues with not wearing a safty harness worry me everytime i climp a stand. One reason why mine is a 12 foot ladder. stand but due to my size i can not find one to fit me. The hss system should but it is about 80 pounds under my weight.
When i get down to the weight it is said to hold i will get one. |

I don't understand. I timed myself one time, using/not using the harness on the way up the tree with a climber stand. Having it attached and sliding up the tree while climbing took an extra 2 minutes to get to my height. That's it. 2 extra minutes, just sliding the rope up the tree and re-tightening it to make the next move up with the stand. That 2 minutes don't mean anything to me. That harness gets attached to the tree the second I step on the platform.

I agree they should be used from the moment you leave the ground to the moment you return. But....................I also don't attach my harness to the tree until I am at my desired height. In fact, I found myself still hanging lock on stands this year without using any harness[X(].
