[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 2540249, member: 1827"] PLEASE wear a harness! Spit, kick your self in the arse for me! We timed it for a hunters ed class, it took me 90 extra seconds to climb to 10' using a harness vs. without. That is LESS than 2 minutes and most of that was me fumbling to attach the strap to the tree. Think about this. stick your hands in your back pockets, put your feet together and fall to the floor on your arm. Doesn't sound like fun. Now climb up on a table and do the same thing but land catching yourself on one wrist..... think you are going to the hospital? Probably a fracture in your future and no hunting the rest of season.... All that was from less than 3' above ground. Now think about doing that from 8 feet or worse, average hunting height of 15-20 feet above ground. Are you drooling onto your shirt the rest of your life? Do your wife and kids have to change your diaper? Did you just widow your wife and orphan your kids? Take a minute and picture that..... Falls are NOT pretty, and especially when it is Sooo So EASY to prevent. Sorry, just because you are young and agile it doesn't mean that gravity doesn't win. Gravity is always on, and it will always win. Wear the harness !!!!! Please ! [/QUOTE]
