    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

Happy Days is set in the mid 50s, 20 years before the release of Happy Days. So...

    Kinda depends on what you want to do and see. The bear stuff at Anan starts around the 4th of July and peaks in August. Other things like whale watching, Stikine River, LeConte glacier are more flexible.

    😂 I know him, he has a buddy that does most of the filming and editing. Our Manitous are the same max capacity but mine has an extra section of boom giving it an extra 13’ of height and 14’ of reach. Mine also weighs 8300lb more to accommodate that longer boom and I assume I have decently...
