I had a theory about this poll and its all gone Pete Tong.

 

45% at average come on fellas we have bigger egos than that! :001_tongue:

 

jk jk no I like to see a bit of honesty and tbh imo for some reason I think that tree lads/lasses seem to be a lot more down to earth than anyone else I have ever met.

A better guage might be "What have you broke during tree take downs" in your career...

 

I'll start:

 

2x greenhouse glass panes

1x Fence panel

1x small garage window

1x 3x2 concrete paving flag

1x Mewp

 

:001_tt1:

 

And also how many injurys or close shaves have you had?

 

Can you count them? If not, may be one might be classed as 'not that good':001_unsure:

 

I would say Im fairly not so bad in a way, at climbing. but I did once fall about 30 - 40 feet from being a stupid arse fee climbing for 'ease and speed'. Fortunately, landed on my feet with my stupid arse in the middle of a mock orange and I didnt break my back. Hurt my feet a bit though, broke a metatarsal. Didnt die though!!

Does that make me a crap climber though. Id say I learnt an important lesson. Theres always room for improvement.:thumbup1:

There wont be many that can say they have done everything by the book through their career.

 

We have all done silly risky things, it's just some get away with it and some come a cropper.
