Be careful in tree stands

[Duck Butter]

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
