Yep, brings back a few memories for sure. I am not really sure how we did not fall out of some of them honestly.

We climbed in some home made climbers that looking back were death traps. Now I don’t even like climbing a ladder stand.

Loc-on’s are no more dangerous than a climber. Being complacent and careless are the problem. True

I fell out of one built in the forks of an oak, similar to cchoquette when I grabbed the top 2x4 step it pulled out of the tree. Luckily I only sprained an ankle. I had a homemade climber fashioned after the Amacker stands when I was a teen and dropped the bottom a few times before I tied them together. Between those old stands and a Honda Big Red it’s a miracles my ass is still here!

I fell in 2011. It was before I knew what life lines were. We had I-bolts in the tree that we would strap into once up the ladders for our lok ons. I had already hunted the stand that season and others had including my larger brother. I was at the top of the stick ladder when the top strap popped and down I went from 25ft. On the way down one of the rungs tore through 3 layers and got my inner thigh but missed my giblets. I was knocked out and when I woke I slowly discovered what happened. I tied off my leg with my belt because it was the most blood I’d seen. I can text a pic if someone wants to post it Posting for cchoque93: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0lCqBTf.jpg)

I’ve got a few stands on the ex-in-laws place that are grown into the tree and hope my nephew is not hunting out of them because they are now an accident waiting to happen.

General, little too bad for him even. Cut open from the 12-6 position if my leg were a clock. Ended up having 2 surgeries because my skin was dying. Skin grafts are not fun
