harness
Hi Ray:
I bought the Gorilla full body harness from Cabelas. I have used it for about a year and it has worked out great. The important thing to note is to buy one that uses belt buckle type of supports around your chest and legs. In the event that you fall from your stand and can't get back up. you can undo the buckles and lower yourself down. If you buy an industrial type of harness, you can't undo them if you have your body weight on them. Also, I have bought a self retracting lanyard restraing system instead of a fixed tether. It works like a seat belt system. It has an 8 foot retracting tether which allows you to move about in your stand and also to get part way down your tree before you have to unhook it. I hook my linemans belt around the tree before I unhook the tether. If you need any more information, I can get it for you.
