I've discovered that I really don't like heights but I also realize that there's not a huge difference from falling from 18 to 25 feet, it's about the landing and I don't want to find out. I hunt from a climber mostly and I believe it's safe unless there's a mechanical problem but my all welded climber seems generally safe. I started wearing a climbing harness this year, like the ones rock climber wear, and I keep the leash pretty short, just enough to be able to sit and stand but short enough to not "break my fall". I hunt mainly in the pine timbered south and you often have to get high up to have decent visibility. I hunted in KS for the first time this year and sat behind hay bales, I much enjoyed being on the same level as the deer, kind of changes your perspective being on the ground.

More comfortable than I thought, didn't really get in the way.
