    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
