Thirty Feet Up
Episode 48
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025

A routine morning in the Michigan woods turns into a life-altering event when veteran hunter Greg Shull experiences a catastrophic climber tree stand failure during the 2009 deer season. In this episode we examine Greg's story and use it as a powerful lens to explore the realities of hunting from elevation- where preparation, equipment, and split-second circumstances can mean the difference between a close call and tragedy. This is not just a story about a fall, it's a conversation about responsibility, awareness and why tree-stand safety matters to every hunter who leaves the ground. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or new to elevated stands, this episode offers critical insight that could save a life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
