wapiti792: I just set up my first ladder stand last week and I was kind of on the fence about whether or not to bother with life line system. Anyway, your pictures are pretty compelling, so guess what I'm buying before I go back up in that stand?? By the way, I'm glad you survived!
I know we're not supposed to mention vendors that aren't sponsors, but... I just bought a new HSS harness from Cabela's on sale for $59. I had been using the one that came with my Lone Wolf climber, but decided I didn't like the hook fasteners and was looking for an upgrade. The HSS is very comfortable, much easier to put on and in general is SO much nicer than the LW I have. So, if you are thinking of actually buying a harness, check this one out... it was well worth the money.
Last thing... I, too, have a couple unused harnesses that I would be willing to send to anyone that needs one.
