You might just have a future in this business... it's not too late to back out, once you put the spurs on, you're screwed.
True story, I worked one week chipping the guys kept riving me about climbing trying to scare me etc One day the top climber ask if i thought i could climb I said sure. He said see that 100 foot pine ? Me yup, he said see that big limb overhanging that tree phaze? Me yup, he said if i tell you how to cut it you think you could? Me yup if you think I get a dollar more per hour lol. He grinned said deal handed me spurs 1982, I climbed up and cut that sob and came down. Everyone on crew but me thought I would freeze lol, was climber that day on. My very first climb was overhang, btw i don't recommend that, just how it happened for me!You might just have a future in this business... it's not too late to back out, once you put the spurs on, you're screwed.

Well in them days I was cockstrong and hard headed chest beating mofo lol. Wise to go the easier route, its a wonder I survived first 5 years but never a serious injury in 30 years! Few close calls yes!Lol awesome. I think I'll start a little smaller, stick to the wood line for a bit.
Pretty good, not professional though. I think I doubt my ability to be on the safe side but it's something I'm trying to get over.How are your saw and felling skills Scott? I do have some connections on that natural gas pipeline to Fairbanks if you get jammed.
Can you fall this ?Pretty good, not professional though. I think I doubt my ability to be on the safe side but it's something I'm trying to get over.
No but i had one chase meWeren't we all back then. Cowboys with chainsaws. I never really expected to make it this long. You ever chase a hurricane, Rope? Now that's a hoot!
Ha, probably not, that looks like all sorts of trouble. One day my friend, one day.Can you fall this ?
I'm always here and I get better everyday, that would be awesome!Scott, still have my ear to the ground. If and when that project pops, I'll give you a shout. Good money, good per diem.
Scott remember this, a good winch covers up a few mistakes with the saw, not all mind you but will cover some!Ha, probably not, that looks like all sorts of trouble. One day my friend, one day.
