Folks a safety harness of some type should be worn. I think mine was a 100 bucks, but aren't you worth that to your family? If you were crippled could you work and provide for your family? If you wear it the next 4 years, that is $25/year.
In addition to your safety harness, make sure a trusted hunting buddy knows where your stand sites are, so if you don't return home it isn't all night before you are found.
