Be careful in tree stands

[iron man]

Prayers sent.

Dad's friend went clear limbs from the tree he was in before his daughters birthday, was climbing up swinging the cane knife as he went up, swung at one, lost his balance, dropped the knife and fell 15 feet on the blade. He crawled for 20 feet before he bled out.

Fell 20 ft from a loc-on, hung the stand got in it but i pulled all the slack out the ratchet strap before I began ratcheting, so there was nothing to catch. Stepped onto stand, fell, broke my pelvis. 1/2 mile from boat, no cell phone, luckily wife was there and by some stroke of god she found someone in the woods. I have a pin in my pelvis now, it sucks, I paid almost $20k outta pocket for medical bills, couldn't walk for 3 months, so wear a safety belt
