Millennium has taken treestand safety to the next level, by becoming the first treestand manufacturer ever to offer the SafeLink system with every Millennium Hang-On and Ladder stand. The SafeLink treestand safety line is a 35 ft. rope with a Prusik knot and carabiner, designed for controlled ascension and descent to and from hang-ons and ladder stands. The system will stop the fall of any hunter up to 350 pounds. In Millennium's 2-man stands, the SafeLinks come with double Prusik knots and two carabiners.
Gravity never falls asleep. It never loses focus. It never gets tired. It never gets distracted. It never wavers and never makes a mistake. Human beings, on the other hand, do all of these things from time to time. That's why treestand accidents are a leading cause of death and serious injury among deer hunters.
But not all of these falls happen from the treestand itself. A huge percentage of falls occur while climbing in and out of the stand, sometimes even with a harness on.
The safety vests didn't fail - the hunters wore them, but may not have had them hooked to a safety line while they were climbing in and out of the stand. This will no longer be an issue with Millennium’s SafeLink technology, standard with every hang-on and ladder stand.
A Prusik knot is a friction hitch that does no damage to the main safety line. Used for it’s supreme strength and dependability in mountaineering, canyoneering, caving, and rope rescues.
