Rock climbing harness for me too. Being able to add or take off a jacket so easily is enough reason to switch imo. There are lots of other benefits too. Tying in on the front seems like a problem until you get in the tree and actually do it.
Yup. Using a traditional hunting harness seems insane once you go to a climbing one.
I do what DIYSportsman did above - webbing wrapped around the waist of my harness, zip ties to keep it in place for a linesman’s belt. Then attach the tree tether to the front once I’m up the tree. It’s never even come close to being in the way, unlike the connections in the back, which always managed to annoy me when I drew back or stood up or turned around or just sat there.
Not to mention that you can self rescue instead of hanging there like a piece of meat until you pass out or someone rescues you like with a hunting harness.
Just get an RC harness. There’s no comparison as far as safety, ease of use, weight, convenience and bulk. It’s better in every area.
