This in one of those situations where you may not get a second chance to reconsider wearing a harness, I'm glad my API stand came with one and I always wear it hoping I never need it to save my neck,I mean back.

my problem is i am a college student, so the funding to buy a harness isnt always there. i know i should have one and its irresponsible to not have one but im hoping i can get buy until i graduate and have a steady income. Thanks for the concern though, its nice to see people caring about everyones well being.
From the age of 13 - 21 I never wore a harness, but for the last 3 years I don't go without it. I guess what they say is true, the older you get, the wiser you become.

im the exact same as you halfbaked, i havent fallen from tree nor come close (knock on wood). Theres always something id rather buy than a harness. ill look at one and say i should get that, but by that time i will already have 200$ worth of things in my hands and i say maybe next time, and than next time rolls around and the same thing happens.
my first harness was 50 bucks it aint no HSS but its something to keep you from dieing. i finally ordered me the HSS bow hunters one and they are nicer but it does the same thing.
green and halfbaked i have a couple of the big game harness that comes with the stands when you buy them. if i can find them i will give them to you guys if you want them?

Some folks will always do it
Fall out of tree stands and hit bridge abutments with a vehicle. Next thing you'll know they'll be selling safety parachutes for hunters, for those high dive freefalls. And don't forget those pink safety helmets for those concussions.
According to statistics, I've been climbing so long, I'm suppose to be dead fifty years ago.

my dads friend fell 20ft out of a treestand, a broken stump when threw his skull. If his hunting buddy was a trauma doctor he would be dead. he is still recovering and can walk with a walker. everyone should were a harness
