This is another follow up question... from kolbsters, who takes their cellphone to the stand with them? I do but it's because I lost a buddy who fell out of a treestand and didn't have one. Knowbody knew where he was hunting, and he fell and broke his back and damaged spleen and liver, he layed there for hours and died overnight. Maybe if he had one, he might have been able to call for help.

Sorry to hear about your buddy,wallofsam.
I take my cell phone with me and place it in a plastic newspaper bag to keep moisture and condensation out of it.
I usually keep it turned off, as the phone seems to wear down searching for cell towers. When I get to the top of a hill, I'll turn it back on to see if there are any messages.

I always carry mine, even if i get no service in the area i'm hunting. If nothing else it's a compact camera when i'm successful. Keep it on silent. Many a day i was able to extend my time on stand, kill the boredom by sending a text or two to my wife. "oops, honey, i gotta go, there's a buck coming." Woulda' been outa there long before that if not able to pass the time and stay occupied. Killed a decent buck while waiting for a text.
