ps ... in the book he talks about the western parks service hiring him to remove the redwoods because at first they had people drilling holes way up in redwoods and blowing them out with TNT but everynow and then the charge wasnt enough to bring the top out...so now there was a very dangerous situation. who wants to climb up hundreds of feet to try and take out the top of a half blown out redwood tree?
