I couldn't help but wonder how long 5 days and nights felt like in his situation........knowing that time flys when you are having fun and goes 3 times slower when you are not......It had to have felt like a month of waiting

Glad to here that he is on a way to a good recovery

Glad to here that hunter is going to recover reasonably well, he was very lucky. Sounds like he was using a home made stand ( " you build it , you are going to fall sooner or later") . The statistics show that the majority of tree stand falls occur when the hunter is either getting into or out of the stand.

80% of my hunting is done alone out at our property. So what I did is I showed both my wife and kids where all my tree stands were, and are, on our land. I phone home no later than 2 hours after dark, from our trailer. I told them all, if no call is made in that time, then send in the Navy Seals.
