Just read in the newspaper today. Hunter fell while hanging a treestand on the Hunt Family Farm in W. Amwell twsp. he broke his leg,had to be taken out on an ATV to ambulance.
no offense or not trying to seem like a real dbag , but good for em ....now he will understand the importanceyup that was my brother. broke his ankle and have to put steel plates in. his ankle is still to swolen for them to do the surgery yet.
Yep that does seem like a douche bag comment to me. Especially at this time when his life will probably be changed forever because of his injuries.no offense or not trying to seem like a real dbag , but good for em ....now he will understand the importance
The likelihood that your stand would fall all the way off the tree leaving you completely hanging in the air are slim at worst. But if you were, just hug the tree and pull yourself up enough to loosen the strap around the tree and then hug the tree going down. Any sudden fall during that lowering will be stopped by the safety harness as you leave the tree strap on, just loose. Companies like HSS give you a strap that attaches to your vest that allows you to stand and take any pressure off your legs so you don't cut off blood supply or pass out. Keep it on your person in reach at all times like they tell you to and you'll always be home for dinner with your loved ones!no doubt, hunting especailly from a stand can be very dangerous ! do you ever think of this scenario of being up in a deer stand and hunting by yourself. than falling and being suspended up in the air. how would you get down ? i always carried a knife in my breast pocket for that reason. .

Jack this is what I use for hanging stands and have used for the last 15 or so years.I need to get a pole climbing belt for hanging and taking down stands - that's a must have that I don't have.
Anyone use these or know where to get them ?
