Do you wear a bino harness in tree stand?

[TheWhitetailNut]

Yes. I don't go into the woods ever without them.

I wear a Rick Young lightweight with the tension set to add stability when one hand glassing. Compact rangefinder goes in Sitka Fanatic vest rangefinder pocket. At this spoint I'd be lost with that combo.

I do, But it also depends on how I am hunting.
If i use a normal lock on I do. But if I'm hunting in a saddle I normally don't as the saddle bridge interferes with the harness.
So for me just depends on what stand setup I am in

I’m transitioning away from Rick young this year. Have used the last three and I find the tension while glassing a pain. Makes my arms tired.

I do. With compact binoculars (I used Vortex 8x32 and am moving to Kowa 6x30), it's pretty easy to reach down and do a quick one-handed grab and glass while in a tree saddle. Actually, the times I've tried to hang my binos/rangefinder from my HYS Strap, I ended up fumbling around more than if I just wore the bino harness, where I know where everything is.

I use the Rick Young harness. I like the tension, along with holding the bill of my cap, to steady. Very low bulk, keeps them out of the way, easy to add/remove layers with, and eliminates the chance of dropping them.

The tension can be adjusted...even to no tension if someone wished.

Yes, I wear mine and wouldn't hunt with out it. I find that it keeps them at hand and out of the way. Hunting in the South where it's thick, I like to be able to pull them out really quick. I've had to adjust the bridge on my saddle to keep the harness from hanging up, but once dialed in it's a non-issue.

Yes, I wear my Marsupial gear bino harness with rangefinder pouch. I feel like having my binos on my chest greatly minimizes my movement. I find this super helpful when hunting whitetails in tight cover.

 

[STru300]

I always have Marsupial on when I'm out with the rangefinder pouch. It's just so convenient to have. Never had an issue with my harness being in the way.

 

[juju]

I don't have anything on me that could get around my neck and hang me if I fall out unless clothing counts.

 

[aachey]

I always have binos and a rangefinder on my chest. Arguably a little overkill for archery hunting but I really just like being able to see stuff that's further away. Even though i'm usually not able to see more than a 100(ish) yards.
