Yeah, but I have a rope tied in.

Just pointing out the irony of a guy that would srt off of a 2 inch ball on a hitch giving another guy hell for free climbing.
Dan, let me tell you a little something about myself. I only talk about what I know, and don't pretend to know stuff that I don't. If I ever claimed anything, you can take it to the bank.
Something else, I don't care what people think of me. Good or bad, if a topic arrises that I have experience with, I give my opinion. After all, that's what forums are for. You can't bully me, I used to be one.
Dan my woodsheds are full and here's a picture to prove it in case you don't believe what I say.
Dan, I didn't miss a thing. Let's put this thing to rest, I will admit I had fun. I don't know if you drink at all but let's have a "COLD" one .
I didn't start this thread to to bully, bash nor beat you. I wanted me and your peers to make you stop your bad practice and that only.
I know the game, you can see I don't play, you can hear I don't. You were playing that game, Huh? trying to? No. I like to have fun, I like to blather on about the insanities of the work, not really playing games but most people get that impression at first. My first impression of most people? Well I had a feeling we might be talking about this.
We don't really know each other on the site, we can't always hear the conotations behind what a man says, you can't see his expression, you can't see me crying when I remembered watching Kevin land on his elbows... for the second time.
I guess I want my words I write to sound like poetry for some mad reason. I guess Tomtrees would say " no climb tree no rope no good" But that is him and even that takes a little thinking to understand.
No , my friend, I am not one to want to scold, troll, or act to tough and you better beleive that I sure as **** don't care what anyone thinks of me either! Hey, if a guy said that who was running for prez i would vote for him!
Now Treeco had a point... with the hitch I used to catch that dam bird. I tried to impress upon him the fact that The Dan went over that set-up more than twice and I knew. He then says" hey its your life!" but that's it, no more. Here i am telling this guy I don't see a problem but if you do you telling my would be good. I think he thought I was just acting like so many other tough bragging tree guys he has met along the way. I can see why he thought so. I am like you Nails, I like the sting of truth, not the agony of changing the subject and beating around the bush. Me tough? Sure i guess, sometimes but I don't measure it on the scale of " you have to be tough if you are going to be stupid." Heck, I would probably love the high if I could get past the fear and stupidity of sticking a needle in my arm.( that might take some thinking but don't you agree?)
Dont stop now fellas this is pretty entertaining and nails, thats a but load of firewood..... I presume you have a outdoor Taylor Wood stove or something similar??
Dan, I understand your feelings for your buddy that got hurt. I know it probably makes you sick in the gut. I am truly sorry about that.
plus the thought of my hand cracking off your naked dare-e-air kinda got my jumpy.
lol.
ive been checking in on this one here and there.
you a grown ass man and will make whatever decision you got to so telling you what to do is out the question.
but
rarely will you catch me above the first branch not tied in.
to each their own brother. you know that.
seriously though, staying tied in is the best way to stay in the tree.
other than that bud, keep filling that shed up with the firewood. supposed to be a tough one this year.
stay safe fellas.
You better wear gloves, I don't want you to cut yourself on that jagged steel.
Yeah yeah, all the guys say that... at first.
So anyway tell me why you freeclimb? Seriously. Its not like I want to bait you to berate you.
There are a lot of gray areas in something so black and white as life and death.
I told me wife I am slower now cause my list of prechecks I have to do with every step has gotten so big and that is just getting to the YMCA! And once again to show us all how important the precheck is... and that comes with EVERY STEP...take a peek...again...
... and up from the ground came a bubblin crude! I did think i was responsible for this mess cause I left the old pipes in and until I was proven otherwise I was real mad at myself. truth is I was responsible for always taking a step back, looking at things with many perspectives, making choices and being dead on.
Me too, if I don't know I ask but that still don't mean i know cause someone told me.
Really everybody does think I got something going on in the head, that's cause I am real busy counting cycles to failure, all the time, with everything.
I picked my kid up at school today, her mother let her take the jump rope in the car, just the other day a little girl had her hand ripped off cause she let it get wrapped in the wheels. I don't want to find out if I am that tough.
Have a bong and relax? Not really going to work here for me, anywhere else for the record.
lol.

Why do I freeclimb? That is the question. It's against my better judgement to tell you but, what's one more for old times sake.
I like the freedom of movement, speed, smoothness, and not being restricted. I like it when you have a lot of branches or the diameter is perfect like 12"-24". Just a straight shot to the top, tie in and go to work from there. I always have my climbing line clipped to my saddle and a buckstrap on a side D in case I hit a bad spot or want to stop for something. It's just how I have done it since I was young. This whole presetting a climbing line thing is still pretty new. I do like having the option though, cause looking back I climbed some nasty **** that I would prefer to shoot a line on these days.
That's it.
Truly a bullheaded statement. of course you can do what you will but will you just try this, its really easy: shoot a line, run one end through some sort of belay device and tie the other to you. Dad can mind the slack and you can rape the maples. if dad keeps letting the slack drop between your feet do this: "YO, you f-ing a-hole, keep that dam rope tight before I come down there and jam a spike through your eye!" Try it that way. Then we will see just how tough you are
trust me when I say your better judgement really ain't all that great. why would it be agaisnt it to tell my why anyway? Stop playing.
