Dang I just fell

Biggie,

How much damage did you do to the 4" pine tree?  Wouldn't want the tree huggers coming after you if they managed to come upon this thread!

I can only assume you are pretty sore today. We do some foolish things not thinking ahead. I'm so very happy you are OK and did'nt bust your self up. Good friend of mine did the same 2 years ago, he will never walk well again.

When putting up and taking them down, I always use my own heavy rope attached to the top. Hanging down and wrapped around the back side of the tree. Keeping the rope tight going up or down. This along with there attachment devices usually makes it pretty safe. I will not put one up or take it down my out my own rope around the tree. They are just to unpredictable to do otherwise.

Thanks for sharing, and may everyone be safe this season.

Glad you are OK.
I bet you hurt more the next day than when you did it.
Thanks for the reminder.
Wasps are another bad thing that can happen to "good stands".

Once at camp, I was unloading wood from the top of my hunting swamp buggy and I slipped and fell in slow motion a step at a time. Biggie was sitting down watching me work ( as usual) and when I hit the ground he asked if I was OK.As soon as I said I was fine, he broke into his rendition of " Humpty Dumpty". So Biggie, this is for you " Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall"!!!!!!!!!!!

Hah! Marty I knew you couldn't resist.

I tell y'all one thing you're right about, I'm so sore today I can hardly walk!

Wildman...The 4" pine couldn't handle the weight, it broke off about 5' up.
