Omg how many safety rules can one person violate

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

Always wear a helmet.. I swung around and hit my noggin

Well I work a lot but would be happy to "show you the ropes" sometime. I used to climb up with ropes and stand on a branch to hunt. By hunt I mean get skunked: )

Oh Waverly, well hello, do you ever go to the wtf section in off the topic forums. Its addicting.

Im in Waterloo, any rec climbers around?

No no not Idaho, Im in Iowa . Idaho has potatoes Iowa has corn

Welcome aboard ripandsplit, ever been to Iowa?

and the squirels are always talking SH%&$

Bummer, I'd like to get more people interested in climbing around here, so far it's just me and the squirrels : )

Are you near Waterloo?

A good groundy keeps his mouth shut , My son is too cautious to be a groundy , he keeps saying , "that looks dangerous Dad" : )

I used a Rock climbing harness for a few years, They are rated for life support, just not as comfortable as my Weaver saddle. In my opinion

Well sort of, I like to stay Low and Slow : )

My home stitching rips right out, I want to learn how to do it also, good luck : )

Hey, go to "off the topic forums" then to wtf pictures, then reschedule your life for the next month : )

Welcome aboard oldtime fidler, stay safe : ) PS is cad computer assisted design?

Sometimes the deer have a good laugh when I get my throw line tangled... for an hour: )

I,ve hunted that way for years, it's good exercise, it gets your blood going but is not too hard on a good day. I use a Blakes hitch and dbl rope technique. It's hard to get a firm stance on a branch though. descending a tree in the dark is thrilling. It's a fun hobby, good luck!
