Glad your ok. Thanks for sharing your story.
Great reminder for us all.
Great reminder for us all.
Thanks for the reminder.Out in the woods by myself, go to one of the ladder stands to hang some little cedar trees on the main tree for cover. I go up and put the lifeline on( I take them off in January) then go hook the cedars to the pull up line. After hooking on my climbing harness I go back up and pull the trees up and get them wired on.
Now the fun part… I was pulling the wire tight with a pair of needle nose pliers, I was standing on the foot part pulling and the pliers slipped and back I go, I got ahold of the lifeline and the harness would have caught me if I hadn't but with out that lifeline rope I'd gone head over heels without a doubt.
PLEASE Y'ALL!!!! Be hooked up to that tree from the ground up and back down all the time, every time!
