What is the recommended method for climbing a tree to enter a tree stand?

Using a single rope
Climbing freely without assistance
Using a firearm as a support
Always using a fall-arrest system

The correct answer is: Always using a fall-arrest system

When climbing a tree to enter a tree stand, it is crucial to always use a fall-arrest system. This is the recommended method for ensuring your safety while ascending to your stand. A fall-arrest system typically includes a safety harness that is securely attached to the tree using a safety strap or lineman's belt. This system acts as a safety net in case you slip or fall during the climb. Using a single rope (Option A) can be dangerous as it lacks the additional security and support provided by a proper fall-arrest system. Climbing freely without assistance (Option B) is not recommended as it greatly increases the risk of falling and getting injured. Using a firearm as a support (Option C) is not safe and should never be used for climbing trees. Firearms should always be handled with care and not repurposed for activities they are not designed for.
