dang it, glad you made it out ok
regular occurrence for me to climb 90-100 ft. spruce trees to locate moose
no seat or harness, just a couple of boards, and some cargo straps.
I try and be damned careful though.
few years ago big windstorm blew through, hanging onto that tree for dear life, while it swayed to and fro, trees crashing down all around, was kinda sporty as it lasted over an hour.
but pretty tough to fill a freezer where I hunt without gaining a birds eye view.
may have to rethink how I'm doing things though.
appreciate your post and glad you weren't hurt any worse than what you were.
Seriously? Nothing about climbing that high and unsecured is remotely intelligent.
If you are going to climb those trees, which I wouldn't, you need a safety harness and two ropes with carabiners. Just attach and move them up the tree as you go.Release one, move it up , attach it and then do the same with the other one. You will always have one attached to the tree.
