Well I was taking advantage of a beautiful day today and decided to get my stands moved around and what not. Anyhow I recently gained access to the land next door to where I currently hunt and its very small but it had a couple ladder stands on it that were gifted to me with permission to hunt. Well all my ladder s have the top strap as well as one around the middle as well. Well not thinking right I climbed unstrapped the top and took one step down and saw the crap rope around the middle and realized uh oh. 15ft fall later a bone chip torn ligaments and a 2nd  chance at life. Should have never climbed someone else's set with out a a full inspection. As I lay there I couldn't quit thinking about me wife and 2 little ones at home. Absolutely life changing

Glad you are relatively unharmed! Speedy recovery my friend!

so glad your ok....that's scary stuff...I had a near fall from a climber a cpl years ago...now I leave that stuff for the birds!

Glad it wasn't worse.

Brandon, that did sound like you got lucky and hopefully you will have s quick recovery with no permanent injuries.  Take Care And Be Safe

rest up and get well, hunting seasons's right around the corner.

Wow...glad u r ok brother!! Thats scary stuff!

Thank you all so much for the kind words means alot. I'm really shook up still and reading this has helped

Glad u are ok!

Without angels, I wouldn't be here now. A few times over.

Glad you are ok. Lesson learned, next time might not e as kind. Everyone take heed and do not take chances. We need all our brothers and sisters for the next season.

Have to go Tuesday to get verdict on ligament damage I hope I.get good news ....if not I hope they make off-road slide ons for crutches

Good luck. I can't think of the number of times I have climbed things I shouldn't have.

Very fortunate!

A blessing of favor!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

Glad to hear your ok and nothing worse happened. Wish you a full and speedy recovery.

Hoping for good news for you, Brandon.  Thanks for sharing and the reminder.

You are a very lucky guy.

Glad that you are going to be OK. Get better soon.

Thanks for the reminder!

Glad you are OK, minus the ligaments. Praying for a speedy recovery.

The outcome could've been much worse!  Glad to hear you didn't get hurt and worse than you did!
