Well My Safety System Works
 

This strap(1 of 2)holds a stick step up I used when setting up a stand. I was taking GR8 advice and doing a little running and gunning. I was setting up where I have never hunted before. I got the stand setup, but did not like the position. So I lowered my safety rope down and climbed back on to the stick step. Started to adjust stand and pop is what I heard. Next thing I know my gonads are lodge in my ass, and I am hanging in the tree. I was able to pull my self up and swing over to one of my steps.

Man I love my safety systems:) I used a full body harness.

Yeah Gary ....praise GOD you are ok!!! After the phone call, my wife was like, "who is that?" after I told her the story, she gave me 3rd degree about what I use, is my harness as good as Gary's .....blah blah blah ..... I still can't understand how that strap snapped like that....:eek:

At least I can tell my wife now after your post that my belt wontlodge my gonads in my arse .... lol!!:D

I see how it broke, the latch has "teeth" on it to hold it. I was messing with the position of it just before it went snap. It cut it a bit and the rest just went. I will be replacing all those straps.

RE: Well My Safety System Works
 

Dang glad it did Gary. Happy to still have you with us.;)

RE: Well My Safety System Works
 

man....thats crazy...glad you had the harness on and were OK....

i dont think i ever wanna test my harness....just for that reason you mentioned :D i KNOW its not gunna be "user friendly" but, better than hitting the ground.....i guess ;)

ive always wondered what severly outta shape guys, or real old timers would do if they hit the end of their rope...i see alot of hunters that i KNOW cant pull themselves back up or bend and manuever around to get back on stand...with a climber, your going to be hanging below your stand...nothin but straight, limbless tree below you....might not have a cell phone or service...or maybe its up in your pack or something....only option may be cut it and hit the ground....the thing that kills you about a fall is you dont hit feet first...i guess falling 10-15ft feet first might be doable...very survivable.....

RE: Well My Safety System Works
 

LOL Hope your talking about safety strap and not his nads. Wondering how you would know?


Anyways glad your ok Germ.

Sometimes we don't pay much attention to them Saftey straps until they fail. I try to check mine everytime out, make sure no creatures have nibbled on them. After all thay are saving my neck.
