Lol! you shouldn't have that much tether out when in a tree. I think my tether line is about 6ft at the most. I also have a prussic knot on the line to snug it up and leave enough to move freely; if you do slip it will lockup and keep you within a few feet of the stand platform. I have the hunter safety system vest's. The mesh vest for early season and the reversible for late season. never leave the ground without attaching climb up/down with it attached. Thankyou for wearing a harness system!

So....how do you get back up in stand or back down to ground if you fall with 6 ft. Tether and harness ?

Pretty neat Speck....but I just can't see Don doing that at 68. And at 72....I am not gonna try it.

Yes and a "controlled" fall is totally different than an accidental one. Not trying to stir anything up, but if your relying on a safety harness it's good to know what to do when your dangling. Your physical ability and remaining calm will dictate the rest I'm guessing. Thanks for the video Speck, gives me some ideas as what to do. But again most places I hunt your lucky if you can send a text, and a call isn't going to happen.

At least you have a fighting chance that way. Falling without a restraint almost guarantees a worse out come. On another note, Wannabe is ugly and really needs to bathe more than once a month when it's this hot!

I mainly hunt from ladder stands or ground blinds now. Hopefully IF I fall from the stand, I will be able to pull myself back to the ladder quickly. If I fall in my ground blind, I just stretch out and take a nap

I hunt out of the ol man grand vision stands..you would have to really work to make them fall. So...just like a life jacket...I will wear it, and pray I dont have to use it....Dang G... You kind of hurt my feelings....
