WARNING! If your hunting location is unknown by anyone and communication efforts are unsuccessful, you must have a personal
plan for self-recovery/escape should you experience a fall. Prolonged suspension in a full-body fall arrest harness can be fatal. It
is important to exercise the legs by pushing against the tree or doing other forms of continuous leg exercises to avoid blood pool-
ing while being suspended. Varying degrees of physical fitness may require different plans for self-recovery/escape the effects of
prolonged suspension. Have a personal plan and practice it in the presence of a responsible adult before leaving the ground. No
one escape/rescue plan will work for every hunter, on every tree, in every circumstance. Only you can determine the best self-
recovery/escape plan for your hunting situation before leaving the ground. There is time to make a correct decision on what action
to take if a fall occurs while wearing a full-body fall arrest harness. It is important to remember, DO NOT PANIC. Remain calm and
implement your practiced rescue, relief and recovery plan. Hunt from the ground when a self-recovery /escape ability is absent.
