I used to do it. It was great money. I got to visit an awful lot of the country in the process.

That's the best quality video I have ever seen of this sort of work. The photographer really knows his business. I liked it! I am dumb enough to not worry much about heights. Once you get beyond two stories it doesn't matter much.

I used to work on some high places. I think 250' on smoke stacks was it for me. Very interesting what all you can see  up there.

Funny note. I told my apprentice to go up this 80' structure  and throw a bundle of rope down so we use it to hoist tools and parts up., He walks all the way up and yells "ready"=====Yep==========here comes the whole bundle===WHOMP

 

.I didn`t know whether to laugh or cry.

 

The tower guy is special for sure.

 

 

 

 

craww, thanks for the insight.  My hat's off to you.  I could never do it.

I feel like it would be a whole heck of a lot easier to drop someone on a cable from a helicopter like when they rescue people!

Nice deer stand for a 50bmg lol.

Heights never bothered me. Looking down the black hole in an elevator 50' was no different than 500' the black hole was still dark just the same.

Falling facts,

When falling you have the first two feet at the start of the fall to grab something after that gravity takes hold of you. I've seen people fall and actually save themselves. But being alert and knowing your surroundings at all times plus quick thinking can save your life.

The national timber tellers association says,

ASK YOUR SELF IS WHAT IM ABOUT TO DO SAFE?

Be safe at all times, don't do any high wire acts of bravery with no safety harness. God bless, bigbill
