If you think you re a dinosaur, you ll find company on this forum. I started in 1969, then couple of years in USMC, then non stop to now. Still climb any time, but in 1992 I added a couple of buckets, 55 and 75 to my business. I stay fit by weights and running/racquetball most days of week and haven t gotten fat or bad injuries. Buckets on takedowns have made my 2 man operation very profitable and climbing for td s and pruning enjoyable.
