This is impressive!

I marvel at the guys who climb. I can't imagine doing that.

I would consider this a big tree.

Great find! It's always fun to watch a professional at work like this.

Great work but at 6:25 that huge piece of trunk swinging over the nearby climber didn't look good on the crane op's part. That climber throws up his arm like he'd deflect what looks to be over a one ton lift. It's also SOP in the arb business to be tied in twice but on the trunk cuts only one tie in is being used.

That was some great team work easing over that last section of trunk!

Glad I wasn't footing the bill to have all that done.

BTW......great work done. I didn't mind jumping out of airplanes, but I don't like climbing tall trees.

There's no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

 

[MnSam]

I wonder how much that one was to have taken down.

Wow that was impressive. Pretty good camera work also.

There's always a "good enough" reason...........

What class were you in?
My baby brother jumped Egypt ,Panama , and was a CO in the 82nd when they jumped Granada.
His best friend ended up as a CO with the Old Guard.
They had done ROTC and then Jump School together.
They were always number 1&2 in everything.
They were good.
Promoted ahead of the Ring Knockeds I'm pretty sure.
My brother was injured in Ranger School and couldn't finish.
Rick did and went to the Old Guard eventually.
Brother got a Bronze Star. Proud of him.
Still real active in Airborne groups. And SF.
I was at the other end of the service.
Never any awards in Special Weapons.

I went thru jump school in Jan. of 1975. We were the first class in Army history to have females in it. There weren't any in our company, but were in others. We'd see them from time to time.

There were a total (supposedly) of seven females. Two dropped out in the first week. One was injured and dropped out and at least two graduated. Not sure what happened to the rest.

That was better than anything shown on AxMen.

That was after my running around the fields at Bennington and before he did. Lol.
There are a few years between us.
