I use a black diamond alpine bod also.
I'll add to this -- if you're going to be in and out of the same stand quite a bit, GET a lifeline! I use them on all my stands and wouldn't have it any other way at this point.
30 bucks to be connected from the time you leave the ground until the time you're back down is nothing compared to an E.R. or worse. Hell, I'd pay that just to avoid so much as a close call. Believe me, falls from tree stands are more common than most will ever realize.
Big fan of these life lines. Have one on all the tree stands I use.
2x for the rock climbing harness. I have tried a few full body systems but went back to an alpine bod. Light and simple. Run the tether behind you with a zip tie or rubber band if you can. Take a bite on it and tuck it if you don’t have a tie. If you know how to use them have some Prusiks handy so you could sort yourself out after a fall.
