Fellers, wear your safety harnesses.

Nearly bought the farm tonight boys...Thank God I was wearin' a lineman's harness or I'd have went straight out on my back from 18 feet. Barked slipped out from under my grip and both feet jumped off screw in steps as I fell backwards hangin' stands with the kid...nearly puked it shook me up so bad. WEAR 'EM!!!

I've taken care of several people at Frazier rehab that are now quadriplegic from tree stands failing to hold together or falling from them. David's right, wear'em. Me, I'm scared of heights. I'm 6'5"...I don't even like standing up! Lol.

Not a fan of hunting high either...Getting to the point that ladder stands are about the only ones I feel safe in anymore.

It was 8 years ago today I fell! It still hurts me every day! I'm lucky to be alive but laying in bed for 3 months wasn't fun at all!!!! Please wear a harness or stay on the ground!!!
