False sense of security

[Stanley]

Wearing a safety harness/belt properly is the key. You can't have 3 feet of slack. You need to have it set up so if something happens you can't leave the stand platform. When you are seated just a few inches of slack is all that's needed. There is no false sense of security for me. It is real security.

X2, I have my strap set up so that when I sit, its just about to tug on me, Im pretty sure if I fell there would be no scenario where I couldnt get back to my platform.

Yep, when setting up it's important to reach up as high as possible to set your tree tether. Still, if you set up on an angled tree and lost your balance, it's possible to swing several feet away from the tree. Also it's harder to get back up with bulky hunting clothes on. All things to be aware of and keep in mind.
