Message For young climbers

[MasterBlaster]

Unless I was running my saw, most people never noticed me in a tree.

On the other hand, I've had many an audience.

The grandeur of tree climbing as a career is fleeting....

Boy, not for me. I love it as much now as when I first started. What a great way to make a living.

 

[MasterBlaster]

The heat finally culled me...

 

[Chris E]

Yeah I can watch Reg talk for extended periods as well, its that dry wit and slightly jaded outlook (realness).

running a business is what really sucks. I love the climbing tree part with a passion and thats just about it. the rest of it you can have.

 

[FJR]

Yeah I hear that a lot Kevin. Many people like the tree climbing portion and not the business portion. I am a little on the opposite side. I really enjoy the business portion. I do enjoy climbing, and I wouldn't want to change what I do, but I don't have that love to just go climb a tree recreationally like many people do.
It vary well may change someday, and I am open to that.

I wouldn't be doing this job for a wage.

Business is what makes it worthwhile.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't have that love at all. I've climbed enough trees...

 

[Chris E]

I find its mixed bag for both business and tree climbing, both can suck, both can rock.

Sure me too, but WE love it, we're not feeding on other people telling us how wonderful we are
I have loads of pictures of me as a kid climbing around in the big rubber tree in our garden, now someone pays me to do it

Most home owners and there neighbors here in nor cal seem to luv watching us remove a tree or deadwood , they like to tell us they could never do this and how do we climb so high up without fear

 

[MasterBlaster]

"I bet you sleep good at night!"

"Do you ever get skeered up there?"

"This ain't your first time, is it?"

LOL

[Bermy]

...you're not afraid of heights are you?
...have you ever fallen out of a tree?

Shit, if the answer to either of those was YES, do you think I'd still be doing it? Haha

 

[MasterBlaster]

No shit, har!
