I’m guilty of climbing in and out of ladder stands with no harness. I know anything can happen especially climbing in and out of them but we all assume certain levels of risk at some point. I would NEVER hunt from climber or hang on without one. And for those of you who criticize me for no harness in ladder stand do you wear a harness when you are working from a ladder hanging Christmas lights or cleaning your gutters? Or how about putting a roof on a house? Do you tie off when you paint the peak of your living room ceiling? What about climbing up a ladder to a tower blind?

I guess at some point I could buy lifelines for all my ladder stands too. That would be the best option and I’ll get there one day Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Go back home and get it. Lost a great friend a few years ago. His safety harness was sitting on his truck seat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just had this happen last week, got all the way back to the spot I intended to hunt and realized I left my fall protection at home. At my age I have better things to do then to die at the base of a tree because I did something stupid. I called it quits for the day and went back the next. Always better safe then sorry.
