Safety

Real nice reminder! I haven't done a thing this year to check stands already in place like I had hoped to. Climbing sticks, hang-on's and ladder stands that have been in place for a couple years and this was the big year I had planned to start yanking them down, clean up, paint and replace straps and replace a couple stand's cables (with chain). Will definitely keep this in mind before I do anything with them.

Make it happen Chuck! Plenty of time still.
 
I'll even add an image to get more attention...lol

A little tip if you haven't thought of it already; you can make your own life lines for a fraction of the cost. All you need is the rope. I was able to make 2 that function the same as HSS's for half the cost of 1.

Just make sure you use quality rope that is rated for climbing.
 
How about traveling to and from hunting locations? This guy stayed up all night fishing...

Lucky to be making it home today. Just something else to think about while the season is fast approaching. I doubt he feels the fishing trip was worth it...
