I know a lot of you guys use climbing stands, and I suppose you do it right and where a safety harness and strap. My question is,
have any of you actually fell out of the stand and NEEDED the strap? Were you able to get down by yourself or get back in the stand?
Just looking for stories and advice on how to best stay safe while on a climber or other tree stand.
best way to stay safe.. WEAR THE HARNESS!. They even make cool looking ones just incase if your "that guy" and want to make a fashion statement.. lol.. I had the bottom of the stand drop like 5 feet before.. i almost shit my pants.. i just hung down and dropped onto it and them pushed the rest of "hogmans stand" back so i could climb back up. 😉
I don't wear a safety harness. And nope never fallen either. I guess thats a good thing.
i didnt wear a harness one time cause. i borrowed hogmans stand and when i drove all the way to his house i grabbed the stand and then drive 2 hours north.. and realized that i forgot the harness.. oh well. and it was the same time that the bottow fell out also.. also second time in a tree stand.. lol. im crazy.
it shouldnt have gone that far it tied to the top.
