Last week I tried something I thought I'd share. It's similar to what JimK mentions. When I am rock climbing, I'll often use a 48" sewn sling as a make-shift harness...

...No offense to the New Tribe people, but I don't yet have 100% confidence in my treeboat. I move very slowly when I'm in it. I lay in there and plan for what I'd do if the bottom just blew open...


It’s good to see that its not just “me” that feels less than secure in a tree boat. With the top off its not too bad, but with the tent on & closed and the loss of my ability to “see” my surroundings, I move very gently. Never seem to get used to moving around blind up there.

Also, your idea of using the 48” sewn sling sounds comfortable as compared to resting in a work harness, especially in hot weather.
