[QUOTE="scn, post: 5746986, member: 1859"] Prayers for a continued recovery. After having two ladderstands fall putting up or taking down in my younger and more mobile days, I don't take as many chances now. Mine always have two long ropes attached to corners of the seat part of the stand. Criss-crossed behind the tree and around the upright part as high as you can reach, and then dogged down with a rope ratchet to loops in the ropes, makes for a very secure setup. It is probably tight enough to hunt from. It is then easy to safely attach or take off the ratchet on the stand. For about $10, you can add a chain and turnbuckle in addition to the ratchet that doubles the safety on top. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes to put the ropes on or take them off, but, not as many minutes as an emergency room visit. [/QUOTE]
