Do you wear a bino harness in tree stand?

I wear my harness at all times. On the range, in the stand and while in the hills. Even when I'm scouting I have it on. The only times it's a pain for me is when I wear my seatbelt in the truck or SXS.

Yes, I wear mine in the stand. Started using it a couple of years ago and have had no issues. I practiced extensively shooting my bow with it on in the yard to make sure there are no contact issues. It's been surprisingly incident free.

For those who use no harness, do you even use binoculars in a treestand?

"Harness" is pretty general term. My Rick Young is definitely not a chest pack and is really just a much improved version of a para cord neck strap.

Mine seems to get in the way of my bridge when saddle hunting, but this was my first year out of a saddle so might need to tweak some things

Every time I leave it behind I end up regretting it, so it just comes with me on every hunt now. I wish something existed that was a hybrid between a bino harness and a split chest rig to make it easier to zip and unzip layers while it's on.

almost no matter what kind of hunting/scouting I’m doing I almost live in my bino harness anymore it seems

Very general. I consider anything that you put your arms through to be a harness pack or no pack. I cant remember if we called the elastic gizmos we used prior to packed versions harnesses or straps. They were sort similar to the Rick Young but wider material. I have never used a Rick young but would try one if I was adverse to a pack style. Seems like they would work very well in a treestand. I don't carry much in my marsupial and very likely could get the stuff I carry up the tree in my chest or front pockets in my coats.
