Abstract
A harness system for supporting a person off of a ground surface. The harness system may include a seat supported by a strap attached to the seat. The strap may form one or more leg containing loops for keeping a person securely positioned in the harness. The harness may also include a climbing strap for securing the harness loosely to a support device, such as a tree, while a person climbs a support device. The harness may be secured to a person by tightening a waist strap around the person's waist. The harness system may include one or more modular pouches releasably coupled to the harness enabling the harness to be customized for a particular use. A shoulder strap may be used to prevent a user from falling out of the harness and to support the harness.

A modular harness system for suspending a person off of a ground surface, comprising:
- a seat having a first top corner, a second top corner, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite from the first side edge, the seat being supported by a single strap attached to the seat;
- at least one modular pouch coupled to the harness;
- the single strap forming a first leg containing loop, a second leg containing loop, and a waist strap, wherein the first leg containing loop is formed on the first side edge and the second leg containing loop is formed on the second side edge and wherein the waist strap extends between the first top corner and the second top corner and forms at least a top strap section and a bottom strap section that forms a closed loop of a fixed dimension, wherein the top strap section extends between the first top corner and the second top corner of the seat and the bottom strap section extends between the first top corner and the second top corner of the seat;
- a fastener affixed to one of said top corners with the waist strap threaded therethrough for adjusting lengths of the top strap section and the bottom strap section wherein shortening the bottom strap section lengthens the top strap section by an equal amount;
- and
- wherein the harness is capable of being supported by the top strap section of the waist strap.
