    The dude who does stuff you cant.

    Subscribe to his channel watch some of his videos. He will show mishaps as well as successes.

    Guy has a hell of a backstory but is a true badass in my game. I realize most aren't into trees but when you have been there and done it you recognize balls.

    I been knocked off my gaffs.
    Instantly you hug the tree so hard it nearly throws your elbows and shoulders out.
    But he laughed...

    Back story the dude spent three years in prison.
    He walked into a gas station with an unloaded double barrel shotgun and laid the clek down and called the cops. Then took assault with a deadly weapon willingly.

    Guy has been through it all.
    Hes not a flincher.
    Fellow adrenaline junky and I love the bastard.

    He not a juice head like us but damn he has potential lol

    I worked w this one guy who had a drinking problem. Would get drunk at every job. If owners were home they would usually notice and I would have to run damage control. One time, he didn't use a climbing rope, fell and hugged the trunk to catch himself. Slid about 5 feet down. Had massive scrapes along his forearms. He did attach his chainsaw though so that wasn't a loss...

    I had to disattach my harness once to get around a limb on the way down.
    My saw was above me caught in a crotch and i couldnt get my lanyard back around the tree because it was too damn big.

    I struggled to get my saw out until my arms gave out.

    I had nothing left and let go.
    I sat there dangling from my saw lanyard for 5-10 minutes until I got the energy back to flip my harness lanyard around the limb and disconnected it the just slid down the lanyard and jumped to the ground the last ten feet.

    I just left my saw hanging there and went back up with a rope like I should have in th first place lol
