Diy tree stand safety rope. 5 easy steps to a diy treestand lifeline. Finally you will need to make a prussic knot. Have no fear for just 17 in rope you can make your own diy deer stand safety line. The hss version uses a rope with a 300 load limit and its 45 for a 30 foot harness.
This is the rope that will run from the top of your tree stand to the bottom. Cut the 1 2 double braided ploy premium rope into 30 ft sections. We prefer this kind of rope because we feel that it can safely support us incase we fall out of the treestand. You can then connect the guide rope to your tree strap using the carabiner.
The prussic knot is attached to the guide rope where it travels up and down and your safety vest or belt is attached to it. I ve tied prussic knots for safety harnesses and hung 30 ft in the air from them so i m entirely confident in my ability there. Link to my gear list. If you make several lines in advance and you keep an eye out for bulk rope on sale this becomes a simple fairly.
I ordered 2 ropeman 1 s with 3 black diamond caribiners along with 20ft of 11mm samson predator rope. I can get three of em out of 100 ft of rope from home depot for that price if i do my own. Make your own treestand safety line. A fall from a lofty treestand might just end your life too.
