Do any of y’all have life lines just on ladder stands??

If you get off the ground tie up, it can save a lot of misery down the road. I wouldn't even climb a ladder stand without adding a tether rope system.

I don’t on ladder stands. Buddy of mine was putting a ladder stand up by himself, it buckled and fell, hurt him bad, he was lucky though. Just some bad sprains.

I don't have life lines on any of my ladder stands, thinking about adding them now.....

I have life lines on every stand. I can't say I always use them, but they are there. They are there because my kids use those stands and they have been shown and told to use them.

That could have ended much worse glad he's doing good considering what happened
