Yep.
Someone got what they didn't pay for today.
The owner of the forest that I take care of asked me if we'd take his brother's son up a large ( For Denmark!) Doug fir as part of a polterabend/ Bachelor party thing.
Normally I don't do that, but seeing who saked, I agreed on the condition that the guy was stone cold sober.
So we set up a lowerable system, with a safety line in the top of the tree.
I went up with him and my former apprentice, Rune, who is getting into professinal drone use, filmed the whole thing.
Worked really well. The guy was apprehensive, but not scared at all, had a blast, in fact.
Kinda ruins the thing if they start pissing their pants and crying for their mom half way up.
I told them we didn't want any money for doing it ( Jerry B. once told me that he never took money for taking people climbing, because then you can't say no, and I stick with that), but they had made us a nice picnick basket full of fine french cheeses and different cold cuts of meat.
They live up north of Copenhagen where the rich people hang out, and they sure have a different level of cheese store up there than what I'm used to.
Yum
That is the ,about to get married guy up high, me lower down.
