And don't hang loc ons without a linemans belt. It's insane to try and hold on with one hand and try to attach the stand with only one hand. Safety first! Hunt Safe! So you can go home and hunt again.

Make sure your safety line isn't too long.
If you are using a foot climber in such a way that your feet can be trapped if the seat turns loose,change your foot climber to one with a break away system.
Carry a whistle,and cell phone,and a couple of screw in steps in a zippered pocket or pack on your body. You can screw a step in and relieve pressure that might save your life.
All good advice right here. I wear a whistle on a lanyard attached to my shirt pocket and keep a screw in step in the pocket of my harness.

I use to work at an inpatient hospital, and I got a few patients every year that fell put of a tree and either couldnt walk anymore, or had a tpugh road ahead of them. Be safe.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)

Where was it last year that ran the sale on lifelines for like $20 each? Was it Muddy? I bought some and love them. They are highly reflective when you hit them with a flashlight. Somebody posted a link last year.

I have stopped hanging my lock-ons by myself, even though I always wear my harness with linemans rope. If I can't get someone to go with me the stands just wait. Not only is it a big safety factor to have someone there just in case, it makes hanging them safer by not having to climb up and down to get the sticks and stand. Funny how I look back at all those years spent in a homemade Baker stand, hugging the tree to climb, sitting on a stool once up. Scares me just thinking about it! Even with those hang on stands or ladder stands you guys need one of those safety ropes with prusick knot attached that hangs to the ground. Then you attach your harness and slide the safety line up as you climb.

Here's my story. There is just no good excuse in this day and age to not be connected from the moment you leave the ground until you return. If you can't afford the right equipment you definitely can't afford to fall. https://greatdaysoutdoors.com/2017/09/it-wont-happen-to-me/

Thanks for sharing TooTall. I remember as a teenager and young man I never wore any type of harness. I thank the Lord I never fell. Now I never leave the ground without being connected to the tree. It can happen so fast.
