That's how I felt. I was hoping to see some wood get rigged. Maybe soak up someone else's knowledge. All I see is fenced smashed, cars hit, and climbers bugging out in the tree. Id rather not absorb any of that.
Its a lousy show. Its not completely degrading to tree workers, but its a little silly. I guess to joe schmoe it might be neat. But to someone in the business that likes to observe someone else's methods and style, its a let down. They all have some NICE iron. Tree work must pay big in that...
Its hard to tell how good these climbers are. The guy I am referring to over complicated some stuff and was a nervous wreck standing out on a lanky limb. Even though he was tied in higher on the tree itself. He was all rattled by getting on that small wood.
You are right Butch, it doesn't need to be shown on TV. I was being sarcastic.
When that dude hit the car with the log he was lowering, my thoughts while he rigged it up were "no no no". If I remember right, he had a rigging point equal in height or higher then the top of the log he was...
Look, it wouldn't be reality tree work without showing guys with chemical dependency issues. I hate to say it but anyone that's been at this long enough knows what I'm talking about.
