Guido's Web: Safest Treestand on the Market?

26.05.13

You can die hunting out of a tree stand. Or if you are one of the lucky thousands who fall from an elevated platform each year, you’ll just get severely injured. If you are super lucky, you’ll come out unscathed save a mess in your pants and a lesson hard-learned. Consider me one of the latter.

After shooting a doe last month out of a climbing stand, I prepared to climb down. My mistake was unhooking my safety harness before my descent. If you’ve ever done this, don’t. I realize this was a stupid mistake, but feel free to comment below on how idiotic it was … I deserve it. As I sat back to seat the teeth of the climber into the tree, the cable-latch system on the stand failed, sending me flying helplessly backwards. Luckily, my right boot caught on the plastic stirrup and kept me attached (although dangling by just one foot) to the base of the stand. I still eventually fell from 20 feet up landing on my back, but thankfully it just knocked the breath out of me.
