RE: Whats your choice of safety harness?
 

I have a seat of the pants. I have a friend that is a certified arborist so He climbs around in a lot of trees. I have mod. my tree attachment, with his knot knowledge, to be more user friendly. Instead of having a strap on the harnass and a strap that goes around the tree, I have one peice of climbers rope that has 2 prusic knots that go around the tree and are adj. to give the desired lengh from the truck.

I will post some pics when I can.

I dawn my superman cape under my camo's. If that fails, I have an upper body harness.

I bought the Seat O the Pants from recommendations on here and love it. The Gorilla, API and Ameristep harnesses are uncormfortable and restrict your shooting from angles quite a bit. Since I got the SOP I haven't even touched the others.

i have a seat of the pants harness from summit. once you use it a few times you can usually figure it out how to put it on. what i might do is where the harness under my top layer of camo and just have the attachment out. i'm not sure whether this is a good idea but i thought it would save the trouble of putting it on in the field.

Another vote for Seat-O-The-Pants. Easy to put on, comfy, and safe.

I use the Summit harness that came with my stand , Liked it so much that I bought a second .( not the seat of the pants)
Very simple to put on and use.
Last fall I fell while wearing the harness ,all I got was a few scratchs .
Would have been ugly without a harness ,several thorn bushs under my stand.

Is this the seat o the pants everyone is talking about?

Or is this another brand? Sounds like it is between this and the Hunter safety system. Anyone with the Hunter safety system can you tell me if it constricts getting those tough angle shots?

Tribal,

I have the hunter saftey system and I just love it. It truely fits like a normal vest! It has leg straps that use car style buckles to secure it and the normal snap clips for the front two around your chest. It's very easy to put on either over or under your jacket as it has an adjustment range. It also has plenty of pockets and a deer drag system built in (a strap is supplied that attaches to an "O" ring on the back at the bottom) I have not had to use the drag yet but I bet it would come in handy as a last resort if needed.

If you can make a shot with a normal vest on, you make the same shot with the hunter safety system vest on as well. To me, except for the leg straps it's like wearing a normal vest. They even have a reversible model with orange on one side and camo on the other for use with gun hunting.

Great product for sure. I paid $99.97 for mine

Hunter Safety System!:)

Tribal-

The product in the link you posted is a step above the standard Seat-of-the-Pants safety harness that most have spoken about. I have the standard version which is basically the same as the one you posted, but it costs $60 instead of $100. I like mine very much. I just wonder how much better the $100 is...

I agree with you though, with a wife and two kids, it's time to STRAP UP! My sister's neighbor spent about 6 months in a coma after falling out of his stand last fall and now he's paralyzed from the neck down. It's time to take every step possible to protect yourself. Others are depending on you.
