So you haven't seen the movie then? You should...

Go rent : Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail.

"Bring out yer dead!
-wait, but I'm not dead I'm not dead!
Yeah you are
-No I'm not, I'm very alive!
Nope
-Honest, I'm not dead
**THUNK**
(freshly dead body is thrown on the wagon)"

Once again...I find myself with the inability to even remotely comprehend where these STUPID FRIKKIN comments come from. Till I get as "GREAT" as you,,,I guess I keep my insurance premiums up.

What regulation does it break when you take the chain off a o44, rev it up, and put between your ground man's legs, and open the throttle up wide. I know what thing... I'm not wearing his chaps.

Do what you want,i do what i want,when i want.Nuff said,i'm a good climber,i don't need someone who's never been in a tree writing standards going yep this is a good idea when its a bad idea.Most standards are okay for newbies and people who can tke all day to remove 1 tree,i try and do 2-3 trees a day,so in my eyes the standards will slow me down,make me less productive,which means i make less money.

Bill,

It would be great if you could post a video of your technique. You might even silence a few critics.

Bill, with only 2.5 yrs. of weekend. climbing exp., + a big fall, and tossing regs and safety out the door, I'm comfy firing off @ you with a BIG FAT!! you SUCK at tree climbing Bill!! your srt is a joke, and your entire setup is silly. following regs has nothing to do with production How much crack do you smoke Bill?

I don't know Bill, given the amount of vitriol aimed at you from other arbor professionals the hard hat may be the least of your problems.
