You got a chigger in your panties Vapid Gaynine?

Just bid $16,000. on a removal plus $1000. on the stump, 12' dia at base. Giant A. elm over a mansion maybe 120' plus tall and 1/3rd already fell off. Probably need both these saws for it and likely some more.

If you are 15 you got a great career ahead of you if you play your cards right.

I got first in a pole climbing contest at the State of NJ agriculture fair in the middle of the fair grounds on 60' poles. The race did not include going down. Just had to get to the top and hit a bell. It was probably mid '70's. Also tied for first in the tree climbing contest where a big spread oak had flags tied around the canopy and you hit them all and it did include being timed to the ground. Got drunk as hell and partied after with all the guys. Too much fun.

I got arthritis in my right index knuckle. At my age you learn to deal with pain. Nothing I can't do I could to 20 or 30 years ago. You just have to take care of your body and exercise and don't smoke.

I really need to spend less time behind a keyboard, my right arm has some muscle stuff going on, hope its nothing too bad, but its a little annoying

I climbed every day for the climbing practice but after work every day I'd take a guy in the woods and climb a big pole I stripped and he would belay me so I could go flat out for the pole climb. It paid off. I got down to 147 lbs at 6' tall for it too. Around 185 to 190 otherwise.

ive got a tulip tree that I climb for practice all the time (the one in the video)

from what ive heard, find a tree and wear that thing out, then you will be about half way to being a good climber

Get into a sport and lift weights and run or bike for a hobby and it crosses over to climbing. I played upper level racquetball with city and state level tournaments for 40 years and that is a great cross over sport. Quads, sprints, toning...fun.

If you are gonna make a living at this you need to climb without spikes like you mentioned in the video. Much tougher than spiking. When you get old like me and the MDS you buy a Wraptor..

[ZinTrees]

I dont do any sports, but I do maintain 5 acres, thats about all "exercise" I can take on a daily basis

im taking it easy in the heat, I got heat stroke a few months ago while I was in florida helping my brother do lawncare, not fun, not willing to do that again

and he only paid me $30 lmao

I do a ton of spur-less climbing, SRT, DRT, blakes hitch, hitchclimber, only thing I really need to practice at the moment is throwline usage

and, speaking of, I think imma head out and hit some stuff with my throw weight real quick
