Buried a friend fell out of a tree

[ShermanC]

A friend of the family fell out of a tree while trimming it. No helmet or ropes or groundy. He lingered for two weeks and passed. Be careful folks

How right you are. Daily I give thanks to be alive and well wit my hip replacement. In June of 1999 I fell about 20’ from a tree and shattered the right pelvis. I had climbed trees for six years yet I forgot to tie in my climbing saddle. Since 2001 I have worked trees by aerial lift. My NIFTYLIFT TM40 reaches 46’ and long tools work well to about 55‘.

So sorry for your loss. I’m not a climber but sure have respect for those who do. Lost a logger friend last year. Limb took him out even with his hard hat. He was doing his last big job then planned to retire. Sobering to me as he had forgotten more than I will ever know about using a saw. I still think of him every time I fire one up.
Be good to each other men and be careful for your families sake.
