Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice for safe treestand use?

  1. Always wear a full-body harness

  2. Use a haul line to bring gear up and down

  3. Climb higher than the recommended limit for a better view

  4. Maintain three points of contact when climbing

The correct answer is: Climb higher than the recommended limit for a better view

Climbing higher than the recommended limit is not a recommended practice for safe treestand use because it increases the risk of falling and can also damage the tree. A better option is to use a pair of binoculars for a better view. Options A, B, and D are all recommended practices for safe treestand use as they help prevent falls and injuries. Wearing a harness helps keep you secure and minimizes the impact of a fall, using a haul line ensures safe transfer of gear, and maintaining three points of contact when climbing increases stability.
