I would rather stay home with the wood burner and a beer.

An experienced climber should be able to take a tree down calmly and safely. If your on a white knuckle ride I think your doing something wrong.

 

Well put!

 

I know where he's coming from too, and hopefully he knows that having a bit of fun at his expense is par for the course on Arbtalk. If your going to put yourself out there as the great big tree taker downer for nothing then you will get poked at!

 

could not agree more !

climbing in the freezing snow and wind, throbbing hands and a wet backside. stuff that for a game of soldiers. coffee was invented by wise tree cutters i reckon and donuts are your reward for being sensible and staying in the house lol

What a hoot this thread is!

[bob]

totally agree

i get more adrenalin driving to the job than doing it

although it is nice to be tired from doing a good biggy that all went well

 

even the really horrible not fit to climb trees dont give a buzz but they used to:thumbup:

try canoeing paragliding rock climbing get it out of your system

in fact charge more and fund a parachute jump

thought you was still renting when did you get mortgage ??

I get more of a buzz straight felling big trees.

When it comes to climbing : the bigger they are, the more fricking work there is involved.

 

I'd climb a tree for free, but not with a chainsaw in my hand. (or a silky for that matter)

[Mark Bolam]

I hear ya there Frank.

 

Biggest buzz this year was knocking down those big sticks in my mates wood.

 

Did Gavin get any big tree work? Anyone?

[toprotter]

Best buzz is getting paid for a job well done
