less than 10% for sure, not sure where the real number lies though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was even less than 1%.
I agree. I don' know anyone that uses one, including myself. I have been looking into buying one lately though.

As of 3-4 years ago, I wear one 99% of the time. I am aiming at 100% this year. I actually bought a HSS Life Line a few days ago as well. This way I will be prtected going up and down the stand as well. Always use one, especially if you hunt alone

Most important thing in the equipment bag. Every time I am higher then 6 feet off the ground. No excuses PERIOD!

I've never had one but only because i'm never more than 12 or so feet up. Enough to get hurt but mostly ladder stands that I sit in. I should invest in one but I guess it's just ignorance and a lack of cash holding me back! How cheap can you get one for?

don't you guys get annoyed with them when you're in your stand, when you have to take it off, to remove your jacket/sweater? or take it off to put on an extra layer of pants, both to put on/take off?

I go out and sit on stand all day sometimes, climb up in the morning, climb down at night, both in the dark. Throughout the day I'll be taking off/adding on layers.
