RE: Fell out of treestand...
I'm happy that your OK, but.....
Geeez. That far up without a harness is asking for trouble. I was just in one of my stands today for the sole purpose of having a buddy fine tune my shooting lanes. I had no strap, and felt naked up there (20+ ft.). Just like I feel in a car without my seatbelt on. I couldn't wait to get down. Sometimes it takes something like this to make people see the light. I have a friend that's been in a wheelchair for almost 20 years now because he fell out of his stand one morning. Again, glad your ok man.

glad you're still with us...you're a lucky guy!!
harnesses can be a pain the butt, especially when you're climbin' up or down but it's waaaay worth it....hope your mishap will wake the nonbelievers up.

I haven't fallen and hope I never do. I never wear a harness but I know I should... sooooo...
I had my wife sew my harness to a spare camo jacket I have.
No more hassle with trying to figure out how it goes on in the dark
I guess maybe I should start wearing it now. Glad to hear you are alright Exocet
