and don't fall in the first place! (of course I know sh*t happens) but get yourself a quality ladder stand, big platform, arm rests, shooting rail. If you don't take it down every year, loosen those straps so the tree can grow, and snug them up before each season. or just replace them every year.

An oz. of prevention is worth a lb. of cure...

We weld up our own stands, take them down after the season for inspection and maintenance, new straps every year. Myself, I don't use a safety harness, I don't encourage it, it's just me. If I'm not in by a certain time, people know where to find me.

I'm 28, not overweight, and I get great cell phone reception on my hunting land. I don't use a harness.

If I fall, I plan on hitting the ground, shaking it off, and climbing back up. If I can't shake it off, I'll walk out. If I can't walk out, I'll call someone. If Im a quadriplegic, I'll freeze.

I have a wife and child that I want to come home safely to and continue to provide for. I can't afford not to wear a safety harness of some kind.

I'm a little concerned that he had to hop around some to get that thing to work..trust me..when your in a situation like that..you are going to be very shakey..


i was going to suggest this but forgot the name. i was think about buying this but i havent bumped into someone that has purchased one. i had a buddy you fell out of this tree stand he was going down the ladder and fell i guess it messed him up pretty bad. but again this product looks nice.

You mean to say
 
you fellas aren't ready to parachute out of those tree stands.

I'm 50, lost 40lbs, and still won't go up in a stand. I gotta move, stretch my legs, and back. a ground blind is fine. much safer.

My concern is if I trip and fall in the woods, I'm probably screwed.
