HARNESS SUSPENSION
It is necessary and very important that someone knows your hunting location and time of return. It is also very
important that you carry (on your person) emergency communication devices such as a cell phone, two-way radio, whistle,
signal flare or preferably a PLD (Personal Locator Device - FCC approved July, '03). When triggered, a PLD will transmit an
emergency signal to local rescue teams identifying your location via satellite GPS coordinates. PLD's may be purchased at
Wilderness outfitters or on the internet.
Suspension trauma or blood pooling can occur when suspended motionless in a harness for periods of time. This can lead to
unconsciousness and death. A suspension relief strap is furnished with your harness. Read your harness instructions to assure
that you know how to use it.
WARNING
!
If you have to hang in the tree before help
arrives, you need to exercise your legs by
pushing off from the tree or by using the
enclosed suspension relief strap. See the
treestand harness instructions and the
enclosed instructions for more information.
Several optional products / systems are available that offer self-recovery or self extraction from a fall when suspended in a
harness. Returning to the ground obviously also relieves suspension trauma and some systems automatically descend the user
while others allow user control. If one of these products/systems is selected for use as an additional safety precaution against
prolonged suspension, be sure to follow the manufacturers' directions for safe use. Always practice with your treestand and
FBFAHS at ground level until you fully understand safe and proper use.

Self extraction may be necessary in the unfortunate situation that (A) no one
knows your location, (B) your communication efforts are exhausted, (C) you are
confident that you have the strength, dexterity and ability to perform self-extraction
and (D) you decide this is your "absolute last resort". It is recommended to carry a
device to assist with this self-extraction. Simple devices such as screw-in steps or a
rope "Tree Descender" (available from Summit) will allow you to remove the weight
from your harness. This may enable you to return to the treestand/ladder/climbing
steps or slowly descend the tree.
