How High is too High?

[Bradley]

An ultra green resort where you can climb a tree and spend the night dangling up in the air.
Whether you sleep tight or make like a night owl is up to you

Looks Like eeeeeek-o-tourism

Motivated thugs will get to you anyway if you can be located. Lay out dry branches and other local noise makers around your camp and keep a can of the highest percentage pepper spray you can find.

Or the largest caliber Glock you can afford to shoot.

if you're concerned about bad guys, consider this.

the higher you are off of the ground, the further you are from your egress if SHTF. just something to think about

Make sure you have a way of getting back up (or down) should you fall.

You can die hanging there in just a few hours from the pressure (makes blood flow really poorly).

In the case of a tree stand - I make sure someone knows where I am and when I should be back, carry my cell phone (if in an area with service) and I carry an extra screw-in peg. This lets me screw it into the tree and stand up to take the weight off should I fall.

In the case of a hammock you may not end up next to the tree depending how you rig so you may need a hanging loop or something like that to stand up in to take the pressure off your inner thighs if you did fall...

Either way its gonna be rough getting back down.

Rule: Plan on falling... but DON'T!

They will add some weight to your backback but you may want to look into a deadfall harness like hunters use. I use one (while hunting) each time I'm in a climber.
