I'm certainly not the only one here on the forum that has some type of disability and I think that I speak for us all when I say; "PLEASE be careful." Jay didn't have to die at 16 years of age

Wear a TMA approved full body safety harness while hunting from an elevated tree stand and also while climbing to and from your perch.
Take your cell phone with you in case of an emergency.
Tell someone where you are going and when you should be back.
Try and hunt with someone and be sure that you have some type communication between the two of you. e
Always have "something" in your pack for first aid. I'm talking about anything that will help stop bleeding. Preferably some 4"x4" bandages and small roll of gauze. A couple of aspirin ect..........
Ok guys and gals, chime in and tell us what you carry to make sure that you stay safe
