Uses for unused safety harnesses?

[nbadger23]

I was cleaning out my hunting cabinet the other day and found that I had 6 unused safety harnesses. These are all the type that come free with a new stand so they're not exactly the most user friendly and I have a vest type one so I have never used any of these.

I can't think of anything I could possibly use these for in the future but was wondering if anyone else had anything creative they've used them for? Either that or if there was anyplace I could donate them so they'd get used? They don't come with the rope that attaches to the tree so they are kind of incomplete.

I hate to throw stuff out but I'm having a hard time figuring out a reason to keep them.

I made one into a drag harness. Worked pretty good.

I was also thinking about trying to build a frame pack out of one but haven't gotten around to trying it out.

They would work great as a drag harness for portable ice fishing shacks. Lots of inquiries about that in the ice fishing forum.

Great ideas.. thanks! I could definitely use a good drag harness for both deer and for my ice fishing sled

I also use one for a drag harness. I have also cut a few up to make backpack straps for a few stands that didn't come with such straps, worked well and comfortable.

Hang a rope from a tree with a carbiner and make a kid swing out of them(look mom I'm flying:) Work great as a porty puller, work well as a stand packer and I have used the longer straps that you use to tie to the tree to refurbish straps on old hang on stands.
