nope. never been called a hack. i take pride in my effort. the results from my effort will never allow for me to be called a hack.
i do crane takedowns, run a bucket, climb a rope, and climb on spikes. none of the bs that show pulls would happen with me there. well, maybe it would happen but i wouldnt be there. why? because i dont work like that and i wouldnt want to be associated with a bunch of idiots. before i climbed though i did work for a guy who ran "popeye tree" into the ground. that guy, peter g, was/is the biggest POS i have met in the tree industry but now after watching a couple of those shows paul nosack is now tied with pete. a real amazing accomplishment if you know who pete g is. btw. pete used to let guys suck his #### for coke. i wonder if paul got his stuff from pete.
again btw. popeye tree is the same company that tore an enclosed porch off a house when he flipped his crane a few years ago. yup.
so, old joak. you been getting your coke from pete too?
