What is considered the best practice for tree stand safety?

1. Using a full body harness

2. Climbing with both hands and feet at all times

3. Checking the stand before each use

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Using a full body harness, climbing with both hands and feet at all times, and checking the stand before each use are all important safety precautions when using a tree stand. Each of these practices offers a different level of protection against falls and ensures that the stand is secure and in working condition. While some may argue that using just one of these practices is sufficient, the best practice is to use all of them in order to maximize safety while using a tree stand. Therefore, D is the best answer.
