More crazy Russian video

[flushcut]

Wow. All of a sudden Russia seems a little rougher than I imagined it?

I'm not looking to shoot, get shot, rape or get raped, or generally be harassed in any way when I head out for a bite to eat at a restaurant.

I blame management.

The cat in your avatar, Russian, has a name...

 

[squisher]

lucky you

You can say that again! I feel blessed, every day.

 

[flushcut]

Have you been to Toronto???

I've been to Windsor.

 

[squisher]

I haven't been to Toronto in about 28 years. It was awesome back then, and my dad still exclaimed on how big it was compared to when he grew up.

I bet it's a little different now.

I guess in mother Russia restaurant cooks you.

Is it difficult to travel between Russia and the United States?

Agreed, Wikipedia is great. I've never ponied up any dollars for them though, npr either. One of these days I'll donate...

For the amount I use it, no way I'd feel good about not paying.

I give then 50$ every year.

 

[Levi]

50 per year seems reasonable. They'd have a load of cash if all users gave that much!

That was silly the first time I watched it.

Just imagine - your groundie holding the rope suspending you.

HA!

Likely the stage director of the film attend the climbing wall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWHYrUq68LU

[MasterBlaster]

Very cool. I wish we woulda had that when I was a kid!

 

[pantheraba]

Fine looking group of kids...fit, engaged, focused. Great activity. Was your girl one of the climbers?

 

[Maximalist]

These events took place in Krasnodar. (Distance from Saint Petersburg to Krasnodar 2000 km = 1243 Mile) In addition, my daughter unfortunately engaged in dances ...

 

[cory]

The Paulie thing was awesome

And believable too, MB, imo. All the wacky stuff we see on the internet, a groundie holding up a climber wearing a harness is nothing!

 

[flushcut]

That was silly the first time I watched it.

Just imagine - your groundie holding the rope suspending you.

HA!

In a belay situation it happens, but I agree that was a very poor representation of how tree work is really done.

 

[Chris E]

apparently the guy was just starting out, still learning the ropes

https://youtu.be/ovig0unTAwQ it was a hard morning after new year party. None was ready to help me

[MasterBlaster]

Cool. You outta use a two lanyard system... a lot safer.

One tie-in is no tie-in. Know what I mean?

 

[Jomo]

Nice work TreeMonkey!

Too many stubs for my comfort, but you sure got it done.

Keep em comin mate.

Jomo

 

[SeanKroll]

Yes, two tie-ins/ ropes. Seems like the stubs might be to catch you if you slip. If you slip, stubs can break bones. Maybe you're trying to cut away from one rope/ tie-ins point.
If you can afford a camera, you can afford protecting your life.

I suggest a choking system to provide fall-arrest.

Keep them coming.

 

[Treemonkey]

It seems that a tie is not the weakest element here. Once in 2004 I fell down together with a tree from 38ft. Since that time I can speak English and allways use only one tie

 

[Treemonkey]

Oh, I didn't break any bone that time, but the sound of my felt body was impressible. Also there was not any helmet on my head.

 

[Mick!]

Tree work helmets are useless in a fall.
