Was he a tree guy?
Kind of. He thought of the idea when looking at a chinese finger trap so he "spriced" up some single braid. He was the owner of Pe's Trees, but they also did landscape, lawn care, gutter cleaning, aluminum siding, driveway seal coating and junk cleanup and hauling. If you don't believe me check Wikipedia.Was he a tree guy?

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is this harda$$ splicing while he's in the tree?!?! That's skill! Can't remember ever taking a fid up in the tree with me, but I guess in an emergency with groundies who don't even know how to tie knots, that's what you have to do. Nice!!
