For the first time I plan on using a tree stand hunting harness. Need a recommendation. Thanks.

I used to just not wear a harness because of how uncomfortable they were until I bought my Muddy harness. It is so light and small, I constantly tell myself there is NO reason I shouldn't wear something that can save my life and ability to hunt when it is so comfortable and light that I can't tell it's there. I'll never go back. If you get one, trust me, you'll love it.

I agree that the Tree Spider product is light, comfortable, great protection, BUT....... It's expensive.

Here is the lower priced alternative: the Big Game Treestand Diamondback Platinum. Then I got a good deal on ebay for a Tree Spider "Livewire" descent system. Combined, it's great piece of mind especially hunting solo.

Just last night went to REI and bought another Alpine Bod rock climbing harness. My son grew out of his from last year and has been in mine this year. So I needed another. Was surprised they went up to $40. Best harness ever. Cheap, easy, and I'll use it. All the rest just got frustrating. If you can find an REI store near you try it out. They will let you fit it and will answer anything you have to throw at them. You can hang in them while at the store to see how to fit it. When you walk out, you will beel more comfortable than you ever have about a fall. I pair this with the HSS or Muddy lifeline on our hangons so we are connected from ground up and back. It's the only way I will let my son hunt from a hangon. Climbers and ladders I use a HSS rope style and hook it when up.
