Harnesses are technically seats! Your weight will be resting on your upper thighs where the leg loops go, and around your waist. Pick a harness with wider leg and waist loops for greater comfort. A well-designed and fitting harness will be comfortable enough to sit in for hours while some of the weight is taken off by the lanyard that goes from the side d-rings of your harness and around the tree. Some tree stands are available if you’re up in a tree and want to take a break, but they aren’t ideal for tree work as they face away from the tree. These tree stands are popular with hunters.
