Thank you Stu for posting this, it is very important! i bought a summit last year because i wanted a climber, it was comfortable, and it was very safe. I used to use a safety belt but i got a full body harness free with my summit. I believe it is made by seat of the pants but im not sure. It is very comfortable to wear and well worth having on. They even went a step further and it doubles as a linemans belt when your hanging stands or putting on steps. I would say that anybody that falls out of a tree and hits the ground probly had it coming for not wearing a safty restraint sytem of some sort. I also would offer this advice, if at all possible use the tie on ladders rather than tree pegs, they are not much more than a dozen pegs and are certainly better. they are easy to put up and a lot safer to climb. Also if you fall you are less likely to hit a peg and really hurt yourself. I hunt at a heighth of ussually 30 to 35 feet and i feel safer that high with my full harness than i would at 12 with a waist belt. Always make sure your stands are safe well before season and make sure there strapped to the tree good. No deer is worth a life or parlizing your self.
