Safety Vest...If you fall without one on and injure yourself it really doesn't matter how many other cool gadgets you have if you can no longer use them.

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

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.

Cheap and simple insurance policy for me.

850 acres of farm land, currently planted in corn, soybeans and peanuts...

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...

After 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...

I like how u said use common sence an u wont fall. i dont care how much common sence u have u can still fall. i dont carfe how my time u have used ur stand to clime that tree or how many times u have put that ladder stand there u can still fall.i learned my lesson a few years ago with that out look on them. swore i would never use one but i tell ya i use one now.So i would have to say my harness is my best investment
