you ve taken at least 3 falls in, what 2 years you have being doing tree work? I have fallen 2 times in about 40 years and nothing to be proud of. It will catch up with you. one of my falls was just about 20 feet while low limbing off a short climbing line and ran out of rope. there was a metal spike sticking up out of the ground about 2 ft high right next to where my back hit. the other time while free climbing I fell about 50 feet, slipped on lichens and should have died from that one. you are too casual about this and don t seem to have learned from it.
