Eating lunch

[Seedling345]

Ok so I was on a thread over in the gear forum and realized the only bitch I have about my harness was no accessory loops not for gear tho I travel fairly light but some days we start a tree just before lunch and I like to tie my lunch on am I the only climber that does this. Imagine hanging in a tree relaxin eatin lunch staring out over a lake or lookin down from the tallest trees in the forest any one have stories or pics of views.

Welcome, Seedling!


My lunch frequently fits in my pocket. I eat on the go. A ton of Balance Bars. I'd like to relax, if I'm going to stop to eat, so that generally means the ground. You can rig up a nice seat, cheap, to pull up when its lunchtime . http://www.mountainproject.com/v/106385746

I rarely eat lunch. I end up feeling slow usually. If I eat when actually working I just grab something as I pass by the truck.

Make yourself at home here, Kevin.

I would never eat lunch in a tree, unless it was a rec climb, and I don't do rec climbs. My goal when I enter a tree is to get out of it ASAP... no lunch breaks when I'm aloft.

Moreover, I don't believe in "Lunch Breaks." You keep working... if you need a break, take a break, and nibble on something but don't shut everything down for 30 minutes. My goal is to get home early and not milk the job to make a day.

I have only eaten in a tree a handful of times in 20 years. Rarely get hungry up there.
I have had my flask of tea sent up many times, I NEED tea regularly.
You wouldn't like France's lunch breaks Butch, 2 hrs in a restaurant!
We don't go for that, stop for 1/2 an hour then back to it, get home quicker!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Exactly.

Get home quicker!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Also, if I eat a real "lunch", I'll need to find a crapper toot sweet.

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Welcome Kevin. I've eaten in the tree a few times when I knew I was going to be aloft all day.

I've never eaten lunch till I've finished, big breakfast then get it over and done with. Some emergency food in the truck though, trail mix & bars.

^yep!
I tend to eat a big breakfast and bring a few Kind Bars and water to the job. IMO stopping for lunch kills production and makes for a longer day.

I'm just happy to not get eaten by the tree.

 

[flushcut]

I saw that movie! It can happen. Kid asleep in his bed angry tree just nabs him..... nom nom nom

 

[MasterBlaster]

Steve nabbed it... a big breakfast then have some snacks ready during the day.

 

[pete mctree]

I tend to graze during the day - bag of nuts, some tinned fish, fruit etc - not usually carbs as they leave me flat.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's the way to do it! Otherwise...

My wife makes me a hell of a lunch on tree work days. I often have enough to offer snacks to the bros. Why, because I usually bring home cash.

I have climbed all day with no break plenty of times and I will say that I get burned out early. My crew gets a lot more done in a day when we take lunch. Not too long of a lunch. Under 30 minutes total, lunch and breaks.
