As far as PPE goes, when I was your age I didn't wear PPE either. However a good friend of mine beat some sense into me and now I wear that stuff almost religiously, if I am climbing and don't have my helmet on I feel naked.

I dont wear a uniform or a hard hat. I dont use any safty ropes either. All I have ever climbed with are spikes,a saddle, and a safty belt. I have NEVER fallen. And i have jobs lined three months ahead of me, so can u leave us red-neck climbers(florida16/me...) alone please.

I like the subject at the top of this thread.....nonsense for sure.
I have heard very excuse in the book over my adult working life for not wearing PPE -doesn't fit, too cold, too hot, not cool blah blah blah, but your justification of never having fallen takes the cake. I wear it all- safety boots, cutter pants, hard hat, visor, muffs, glasses and gloves, and on more than one occasion I was glad I was. And yes on some summer days it is a PITA. Every other professional I ever have worked with has as well.
I have a personal rule about working with people like you, I WILL NOT. Obviously if you take so little care with yourself what would make me think you would give a hoot about my safety (NOTE That is with an "E"). It comes down to a question of pride-I despise working with the second rate.

If you all don't want me here I will leave. Like I said I am only here to learn and try to expand my climbing abilities/knowledge as far as I can...
