how do you prevent this?

im a ground blind hunter and just used a 80 dollar cheap stand. the harness doesnt work until ur up in the stand and my harness doesnt fit me either
what do i gotta do?

Buy a larger harness. And , again, use a rope tied to the tree and a prussic knot climbing system. You can be safe climbing. It may take a bit more effort but don't you think its worth it?
