deerminator Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 So I was hanging my one hang-on stand today and after I got everything in order, my Fall Guy safety strap jammed. Can't get it unstuck for the life of me. It's probably time to get a new safety system anyway. The vest still works but how long are you supposed to keep those? As long as they work or is there a "suggested" time out for them? I was thinking of keeping the vest (5 years old) and combining it with one of the safety straps I already have to go around the tree and then buying one of those climbing safety systems that let's you stay connected to the tree from the ground to stand. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The Hunter's Safety System Life Line with the Prussick knot is the way to go. Like you said it let's you stay connected from ground to stand and back.I think most manufacturer's recommend disposing of a fall restraint system if it's been used. As far as shelf life, I would think it would be fine to use until you experience a fall.Email the manufacturer and see what they say.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
