[QUOTE="ImThere, post: 5706139, member: 3208"] A couple of things Try a softer tree the first few times. Ones where you have to pick the top up to get the teeth out. You’ll feel more secure. I been preaching rock climbing harness for heck 15+ years it seems like. You use a tether and connect in front so you can get back together after a fall. A regular harness is fine just remember when you fall you won’t be facing the tree. Please use one and tether in once your stand is connected to the tree. Like when your feet leave the ground. A linesman is NOT FALL ARREST! You can and will slide right down a tree there are plenty of YouTube videos. Use a pull up rope. Throw you stuff on the ground connect to a rope and tie the rope to your climber. Give yourself 25’ of rope. Don’t climb with anything you have to fiddle with. UNLOAD your rifle put your arrows in the quiver. [/QUOTE]
