The article is wrong.
This is my secretary’s brother in law.
He went hunting before work yesterday morning. His boss called his wife after he missed a meeting around lunch. She called my secretary’s husband and they ran to the woods to check on him. Found him hanging from his harness. Cut him down and tried to revive him while waiting on the paramedics. They are thinking it may have been a stroke or heart attack, or possibly he fell and could not get back in the stand. Apparently he was in reasonably good shape, and no health conditions. Sad thing, two college age kids and a wife left behind. Based on this, he could have had a heart attack and then fell from the stand. No matter what, terrible situation and prayers for his family. I hunt alone on public land and that's my biggest fear, something could happen and nobody could get to me in time. I text my wife where I'm going to be and I gave her the GW's number, my truck description and tag number. I also have the GW on speed dial. All great ideas. I hunt public land too and text my wife the coordinates where I park and describe which direction and how far I plan to hunt from there. At home on the fridge is a topo map of my favorite spots and the GW phone number. My backpack contains what's needed for an overnight stay in the woods and a trauma 1st aid kit...

My coordinates on my I-phone are activated for my wife's access only. She can pull up my name and the map will show my whereabouts.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

Sad situation.
I absolutely refuse to use lock on stands.
I used one just one time in my life long ago on a friend's property and that one experience was enough for me. I hated it. It felt very unsafe, especially the climbing up and down process. And I felt naked and exposed while sitting there too. Like I good just fall out at any moment if I wasn't 100% vigilant of every second.
My friend fell on the way up to one the next week and spent the next ten years of his life paralyzed from the chest down.
He always said lockons were better because they were quieter then double platform tree climbers and you could hide them better way up in the crotch of a tree.
And just use spikes to climb up on.
No thanks.
Prayers for this family.
It won't be a happy new year for them.
Check out the “life line”. Arguably it makes the lock on the most safe stand
