I had a couple pros out doing some felling and limb chipping for me a few months ago. The owner had a guy doing all of the climbing work, and it's a lot of fun to watch that much skill on display.Yes! Minto Flats!!! And yes, the fact that we had only flown for a half hour there and spent an hour fishing was probably tempting too... but he still followed the rules... and even that third or fourth rung is enough to change your life forever. Ya'll are gonna do what ya'll are gonna do. I'm just gonna say when you take a saw into the tree, everything changes, and enough "pros" get hurt doing it. Stay safe, Jeff
I asked the owner if he does climbing work and he said that he had done it for 30 years, but now he lets the younger guys do it. I asked him if it is as dangerous as it looks and he said, "Yep. You only get to Fk up once and you're dead."
