Hunter Safety Systems was founded in 2001 by current CEO John Wydner in Danville, Alabama. Wydner was hunting with his brother and friend when tree stand collapsed, causing Wydner to fall. His life was saved by a few tree branches, but Wydner started to realize that hunters did not wear their harnesses because they were difficult and cumbersome. Wydner set out to make a better harness.
The company sells hunting vests which have harnesses built in, as well as hunting Lifelines, Tree Straps, and other hunting accessories. Today, the company is a leading manufacturer and seller of hunting items and accessories, such as trail markers, bow holders, and warning signs, as well as their infamous safety vest.
Hunter Safety System is still owned and operated by the Wydner family and has headquarters in Danville, Alabama. In 2014, the company introduced a similar hunting vest designed for women.
