Hunter Shares Message of Safety Immediately After Treestand Gives Way

Don't be a statistic: routinely check stands and tether yourself in before climbing up.

The following video message comes to us from a deer hunter named JT Harden who filmed himself immediately after his stand collapsed. As you're about to see, this bloodied and bruised advocate for treestand safety has an important message to share that might have saved his own life.
