Safety harnesses

[Blinginpse]

Looks like HSS doesn't have but a 1 year warrenty on issues with safety harness. I have had mine 3 years. It's the HSS lite. Front buckle broke last season late in cold weather. Was going to contact them about giving it or me even pay to help Fix it but doesn't look like that's an option.

Therefore I'm looking at light weight nothing fancy harnesses. Either another HSS lite or a muddy harness in a nothing fancy bare minimal setup. Any opinions?

I like the ones that have a vest attached so I can keep all my stuff in the same pockets and always know where everything is. Option 2 is a rock climbing harness. They are less expensive, just as if not more safe and really light.

A rock climbing harness will make your life better.

Not to steal the thread but what RC harness do you like?

I bought an HSS crossbow harness last year because I liked the pockets on it for my tree climbing process/holding straps etc. Would highly recommend and if you search ahrd enough you can find them pretty cheap.

I started using a rock climbing harness last year and loved it. Much lighter and more comfortable.

I picked up a black diamond harness off CL for a good price.

The RC harness does give more options, I like mine.
But I see how the pockets on a vest would be nice.

I switched to a rock climbing harness a few years ago. I do not see myself going back.

Rock harnesses wouldn't work in an iwom or warmbag would they

The 3 best things I have ever purchased for hunting is a Lone Wolf, Cabelas Bug Skinz & Scent Blocker Tree Spider Harness/Bibs combo. Dont kid yourself, scent control doesnt come standard but I absolutely love them!! By far the most comfortable hunting iv experienced, well worth (IMO) so I bought the early season model as well. The lite model is more of a pants style vs cold weather is a bib style. Most arent looking to spend much on either bibs or safety harness but im glad I did, enough to share it w you guys. I am embarrassed by the price, though I dont ever pay full price for anything gear related. I want more of them though! Scent blocker filed for bankruptcy and is going out of business, they are merging w Scentlok so im going squirrel mode w them! Someone seriously needs to make these... remove the SB name and make them more affordable... Get some while they last.

I have a black diamond as well. I'm sure you could figure out how to use one with an IWOM. I would think if you fall out of treestand in an IWOM or warm bag you would be a tangled mess no matter what you were wearing. The ability to self rescue from a rock climbing harness is light years above a standard safety harness that attaches at the base of your neck. Plus there are gear loops on most harness that make it easy to attach pull ropes or other equipment to. I attach a pull rope and extra sticks to mine, so I can make one trip up a tree. I had no idea how much I would like and come to depend on it.

You guys who have gone to a rock climbing harness: how do you rig the linesman belt? I picked up one of these on sale last year, still using HSS safety rope but would like to switch to lineman rope but have not figured out how to rig yet.

I like my muddy safeguard a lot. Last year got a newer muddy, cheaper price i think it's called magnum?,, Don't like it near as much.
