good vid bro😅

Question, was NLC worth it?

Where I used to work in Canada , when I started in the 70 's we were taught to free climb . No pole straps until you got to the top ! !

You did great for a newbe. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey man, I’m also a fellow Christ follower, who is about to go to northwest lineman. I was wondering if I could ask questions about the trade and the school and how it all is as a Christ follower

Did you get in an apprenticeship yet ?

Is the class room work hard

Thank you, I needed this 🙏

Done that hundreds of times and my palms get sweaty every time I watch a vid of it 😂😂

i told my boss hey boss allow me try the climbing he look at me and said won’t let you do that your not functioning ahhhh i told myself i will and i can do this someday 😅

What size pole do you use? Also is it medium or light power

This is an acquired skill set, which is not a natural human act. Same thing I tell my students, when they go into their first live fire training evolution. Anyone who thinks lineman dont earn their money, I offer this video as exhibit A.

Did you ever get a job afterwards man?

Pretty slick son

looks like prisoners lol!

those boots are niceee, what are they if u dont mind?

I can't even remember my SuperSqueeze looking that nice! It's not even green and brown anymore !

I’m retired now, in the trade 43 years, 70 years old and can still climb. Just some friendly advice, look up, watch where you’re going, don’t watch your feet. Step into your hooks, don’t kick them into the pole so hard, as someone else said your weight will set your hooks. When my generation of Journeymen broke in, we weren’t allowed to use our safety straps to hitch hike up the pole, no such thing as Bucksqueze or Jelco fall restraints. When you free climb you develop the rather it takes to climb efficiently, the new rules don’t allow that. My advice is to take your time, it’s not a race. When I was coming up I was always in a hurry going up the pole, getting the job done, rushing down the pole etc…. One old timer who took me under his wing told me something that I never forgot, he said “ kid why you in school a rush, take your time, take a look down the road, when you get done on this pole, there’s always another one”.

I can't believe we used to do all that stuff with just an old school brown belt. No fall protection!! Love my EZ Squeeze!!

Your climbing will get better once you become a apprentice.

much easier to throw the skid if it wasn't so tight, try only having 2 or 3 teeth in rather than all of them.

bouta head up to oroville rn in the AM for Dec term prayin I get a group like this if so , shi gona be ez and fun af 🤞🏽

So happy I learned how to free climb, none of this bs.

Hell yeah little foot. Good times

Would you recommend getting my cdl first then apply for NLC?

THIS IS ALL PART OF DE-NUTTING A MAN CLIMBING WITH STRAPS WRAPPED AROUND THE POLE AND EXTRA SAFETYS THIS IS OSHAS BULL SHT

i leave october 26th for idaho pretty excited

I thought it was carabiner pointing out?

How do you pay for housing while youre there? Are you getting paid while youre going to the school or are you expected to save up money and pay for rent while youre there?

Now throw that sissy bucky squeezie in the garbage and climb the pole like a man

Just curious because I’m going to NLC Oroville this December. I’ll be going in with my CDL, gonna be doing my crane op there. Im planning on applying everywhere. From your experience with people you knew from school, how fast did they get a job and you got a job?

You got a insta or anything bro

He asked for an oil change and they said it was 10,000😂😂😂

Stay the fuk out, locals only. Been swimming this hole for 20+ years. Longer then u kids have been alive🖕

How was the Application process? I’m in Florida now and have 5 years of Commercial/Industrial but plan on going to the Idaho campus so I can be closer to my wife’s family. Just nervous about the application and relocation process

Yooo its Kyran, hope all is well little foot lol. Just got in with edison

Taller than i thought, but ok nonetheless

Little advice. Get some Kenetrek lineman extremes or Hoffman Classics. You will be much happier. Stay safe.

Hey bro I have a quick question for you. Does NLC help with getting a job/ apprenticeship after graduating?

Starting next month PG&E only did 3 day in house climb school.

Yo bro were you hybrid or in person Because rays hybrid .

Thanks for the videos i start NLC april 10th what was the hardest part of the whole term?

Its been 7 months. Did you get an apprenticeship yet? I'm on calnev list rn at 34. But they are already opening it up for interviews again.

Big big difference reaching out and just touching it and reaching out and actually changing it out lol that would be pretty painful changing that insulator out locked in that position for 15 mins lol

Yo bro i start April 10th What dorm did you Stay in ?

Drive super

Sorry don't see cars,trucks, trees, trailers, houses, wires hanging multiple junction poles for real life situations... Angles hot wires, broken poles leaning while trying to set a pole... Try making senarios for survival... Williams ll James IBEW local 94 international NJ Teamster Recommend

Yulia supervisor manager from PSEG she knows of him

Nice job... To bad no more free climbing changes game... Back in that day Williams ll James IBEW local 94 international NJ Climbed 55'-65' poles 7 times in row with continuously, 360 at top, middle and bottom
