Do you wear your leg straps

[Fl Canopy Stalker]

Maybe, I don't know what that means and Google says it's shoes?

It’s the shoe bottom. He was playing on words and using some Boot humor in the process lol since Weldabeast’s question involved boots.

Naw man - you’re the smart guy in the scene.

But he does talk like a .....

Yeah, but the hunt changes substantially from:

Let’s hunt, dad

to

Let’s hunt dad

I frequently use that punctuation is the difference between “I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse” and “I helped my uncle…” you get the picture while I keep it PG for the integrity of the site.

Completely unrelated note but if you have a corporate job don’t put that in an email on a day you are frustrated unless you enjoy talking to your HR rep.

Thoughts on most recent poll results, deer hunting success, tree climbing risk

Upshot from the 3 recent polls I posted: - 70% of folks get the majority of their satisfaction from a hunt, from the actual killing of a deer. The definition of killing a deer seemed broad, but encompassed the actual act of killing, as well as killing=success=satisfaction due to reaching the...

I thought it was a joke until I clicked it. Still not convinced it’s real but I’m terrified that it is.

This might make me quit climbing trees.

Also, I have to admit I’m mildly entertained by how many folks are going to sneer at this, and think it’s wildly different than a saddle with no leg straps.

 

[Weldabeast]

Isn't that pretty much what the tree suit was?

 

[Blacksmith]

Back in the 70s I think most wore no type of harness at all. That may have been safer than this one. It's a wonder we all survived this long... I have one similar to that, it came w/a treestand.

I haven't seen a thread like this since I stopped hanging out on the motorcycle forums. Every now and again poor naïve soul would ask what oil should go into a new bike. By the end of the week there would be about 60 pages comparing the chemistry of synthetic vs dino juice and detergent vs detergent free and friction additives and lies and slander and death threats and all around a good time until the next newbie asked the same question a few months later.

That would be the equivalent of the body belt. Which OSHA banned many years back for fall arrest due to severe internal damage during falls. It seems some people at that company haven't received the memo.

This was my first safety belt I purchased back in the 80's. Full body harnesses did not exist in the hunting world. Got my first full body harness in the early 90's from Screaming Eagle.

Why is everyone so behind the times? We all know that any reputable saddle hunters are single-strappin'. It's the hottest new trend

 

[tailgunner]

I used to just run 1 leg strap.

I used to just run 1 leg strap.

That’s called a jock strap. It’s not for your usual two legs. Just your one unusual one.

 

[tailgunner]

This thread has been great...look the brothers on here convinced me to change my mind...i do think people should wear legstraps now...simply for the unknown sircumstances as mentioned by stalker.but for sure in using sticks and rappeling.in all the blah blah there is a couple compelling arguements

 

[tailgunner]

May even put one back on my saddle some day......just because

 

[GeoFish]

I like some leg straps more then others.
