I've worked with and learned from a lot of disciplined people in the land of almighty discipline. In thirty years I've yet to see someone not fulfilling their duties on a job. A place where it isn't uncommon for someone to sacrifice their lives and loved ones for their work...have to live...
The story of Jake reminded me of the Polynesian harpooner, Queequeg, in Melville's "Moby Dick" A very interesting character how he took to his trade. He was the mate that shaved with his harpoon.
Rico, people here are the live and let live types too, and you seem to understand why some folks make comment about not working with PPE. It's been pretty common here to put forth a cautionary about not working with the protection stuff if it's seen happening, but it doesn't much go beyond...
The way I do it is to think to myself that life won't always be hell, and think of the people in the house or hotel in air conditioned conditions, as wimps. :lol:
Wearing PPE is a learned skill, just like cuts and how to put brush in a truck to maximize the potential.....almost anything else with tree work. Some of you guys haven't learned yet to take breaks. :lol:
What's wrong with cutting up your hinge close if you've got favorable lean and the top going over the way you want? The reasoning seemed good to me, minimize push back on the spar. I've thought of it as a given for the most part.
That's a rational like saying that the cops should only go after serial mass murderers, let the individual homicides all get thrown in and sit without effort in the unsolved cold cases bin.
Cool vid, Stephen, liked the selfie too.
