That's good news, wishing you the best. I'll tell Granny, maybe she'll have some in-home rehab pointers for you.

In the meantime, Tommy Spackler is available, though he specializes in gophers.
Damn hope you get to feeling better soon, I'm sure that is no fun. I used to climb into fixed stands about 20 feet in the air in Iowa back in the day with no harness, that was 20 plus years ago. Now usually use ladder stands or if I do climb into a fixed stand my harness is the first thing I fasten. Speedy recovery!
The cable literally broke in half? If that's honestly the case I'd be contacting a lawyer.
I've had a stand collapse on me once just minutes after having my daughter in it with me just screwing off. Every friend I have who hunts from tree stands has taking some kind of spill.
Glad you're alright.

While writhing on the ground, I wasn't trying to figure out exactly what happened. The stand is still lying there, waiting for me to come back for further inspection.
Now, assuming what I suspect is true, I believe the cable broke.
Defendant's first question: Were you wearing a harness?
A. No, I was only going to be up there for a minute.
Defendant's second question: When was the last you inspected the cables for wear or damage?
A. Well, um, I might have glanced at them once.
Defendant's third question: When you received the stand, did you watch the video that came with it? Yes. Follow-up: Did you see the info in the video about always wearing a harness and inspecting the cables on a regular basis? A. 😳
I'll let you know what I find out, though.
I'd send some to get the stand ASAP.

Don’t worry about all that. Just hire Flo Karen, and she can try to overwhelm the other side with BS.
Thank God you are okay. This happened to a friend of mine back in the mid 90s. He was just starting down when the band on his climber slipped and he fell to the ground with the stand attached to his feet. He broke his left ankle and had to hobble and crawl about 3/4 mile to his vehicle. It took him 2 hours to get to his vehicle then he ended driving home with his standard transmission in 2nd gear because he was unable to shift gears. He realized he had made a major mistake in picking a maple tree to climb.
Not always a fan of cell phones but they certainly come in handy when something like this happens and you can call for help.

For the last five years, I've been hunting deep in State Forests, with sketchy cell phone coverage and my wife only having a vague idea of where I was. I can't imagine getting out of there in the condition I was in. Fortunately, I changed location this year.
And I only carry enough arrows to fire a couple of sets of warning shots in the air, so EMS would have a hard time finding me. 🤣
Good thing it wasn't your fingers bc we would all wonder where you were.. Glad you'll recover in time.
Defendant: "Your Honor I'd like to submit into evidence the following post made by plaintiff on the BWI Rivals forum on October 5th of 2020, for the purpose of impeaching plaintiff's sworn and verified complaint..."
TN is trying to signal past the censors that his “frayed” cable was a Deep State conspiracy!
Yeah, I get that, too. Hard to believe BWI has become so important in so many legal matters.
Glad you’re doing ok, pawrestlersintn, best wishes with your recovery. The floor of my tree stand collapsed on me one fall many moons ago, and my shoulder has never been the same (from grabbing the rail in a panic on my way down). Take care.
Hope things are going well. In case you get bored, try a little bird watching.
Oh, and Tikk,
I have an assignment for you.

Lucky photographers there, getting what I imagine is a rare opportunity to shoot down into a valley at fighter jets. I wonder if they staged that for the purpose of getting the photos.

I think that it is done on a regular basis, maybe annually. There are a whole series of Mach-Loop videos on Youtube
I heard that the whole photo shoot is in dispute, with some saying that airplanes were never invented and that any video evidence provided as proof has been doctored!
UPS delivered a package today from high school friends and fellow PSU wrestling fans. I should have known CStroke and MrsCStroke would be up to something. The gift was a set of whiskey tumblers. And, here is one of them. Look closely.
Tumbler, indeed. Oof.UPS delivered a package today from high school friends and fellow PSU wrestling fans. I should have known CStroke and MrsCStroke would be up to something. The gift was a set of whiskey tumblers. And, here is one of them. Look closely.
Thanks for posting this. I tell guys all the time to put on their harnesses whether they're hunting or working on a roof and they all say the same thing- "I'm really careful and won't fall". I always tell them that hospitals are full of people who are careful and don't fall.
No problem. I've become a harness evangelist. I know how lucky I am, and I'm not letting my luck go to waste.
I have no recollection of this...UPS delivered a package today from high school friends and fellow PSU wrestling fans. I should have known CStroke and MrsCStroke would be up to something. The gift was a set of whiskey tumblers. And, here is one of them. Look closely.
I’ve watched just enough of the “willie trials“ to use this as my answer.
And other than the return address I’m not sure there is an overwhelming amount of proof.
Admission from your better half isn't proof? And, don't even try to say this wasn't your idea.
That's humorous, pa, but only since you are on the mend. Well done to whomever was party to the tumblers.
To you, your lovely wife, parents, and kids ... have an awesome Holiday Season (best possible given the situation we are all in).

He watched the "Willie Trials". He will claim spousal privilege. If you remember, that is why Spey didn't have to testify as a rebuttal witness against CP.
Thanks, Roar, and same to you and your family.That's humorous, pa, but only since you are on the mend. Well done to whomever was party to the tumblers.

Alabama man dies after falling from tree stand in 'heartbreaking' hunting accident, police say
An Alabama man has died this week in what police are calling a “heartbreaking” hunting accident.
Someone missed your PSA. Very glad your outcome was much better.
Yeah, unfortunately I can't reach everybody, and even after I do reach them, they still don't listen. Heck, my physical therapist saw what I was going through, yet she told me that she had hunted without her harness one weekend.Alabama man dies after falling from tree stand in 'heartbreaking' hunting accident, police say

Nitlion6 wants to know if she had her K-Y
