    Good luck on the recovery of your injuries.

    if you need assistance with your wood pile , my son is in Burlington and I will send him over. He is a good young man and will help. Just say the word and I’ll send him over

    Bro! You didn’t learn anything from my experience? Always have a lifeline climbing in descending. Praise God you didn’t die.

    Glad to hear your still among the living. Scary stuff, I’m scared of heights and this is a good reminder why. Be safe guys.

    Glad you'll be able to mend after that fall! It's always the other guy, until it's you. I sat a lot of years without being tied into my LW, but as I got older I got a little smarter and started using my Muddy Harness.

    Dang man, glad it wasn't worse. Thank you for the heads up, even at your expense, for all of us to maintain constant vigilance with our safety.

    Glad to hear it wasn't any worse. My fall back in 2014 I tore my right shoulder in 3 places and broke my sacrum in half. Spent nearly 12 weeks on the shelf but still managed to tag out in the late season. The next year I switched to all ladder stands.
