never say never. I am very safe. What happens when your equipment fails, for example a weld pops. It happened to me and luckily I didn't fall but had one hell of a time shimming my way down the tree. I used to have your opinion until then and especially now that I have a little one at home to come home to.

After that...A good, quality climbing tree stand...I have 2-APIs and I'm old enough that I started when we didn't have climbers, my first was a Baker...I'm lucky to have lived through that...

...Most recently...A Thermacell...I don't care how tough you are, the mosquitoes we have down South, especially in our swamps make hunting miserable in the early season...

climbing tree stands. never used a safety harness and never will. Use common sence and you won't fall out of a tree.
