    I am 70 now, I never thought about not being able to do all the things I did in my youth. Time/age catches up with a person. To make things worse I allowed myself to get fat.
    I have kept a piece of rope next to my computer, since you were showing knots at your house.
    I am sure Adam and the rest of the crew appreciate your limb placement.

    I have really enjoyed the way you do these videos and the content. I love the humor. It's like talking with friends and joking around but with serious content. I've been felling trees and cutting firewood since 1975. When I was 77YOM two years ago, I started climbing using information and inspiration from your videos. It was a little scary at first, but I used all the proper equipment, safety techniques, and had my wife be the safety person. I love the Husky battery powered electric saw and have used it since they first came out. Wish I could get the bar and chain you use for it but understand they are not available now for us customer type people. It's probably best that I don't have it. It would need different sharpening equipment. I love your videos and all your team. They are all so enjoyable to watch. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!

    Enjoyed the video. Your perspective on climbing and cutting is very interesting, informative & entertaining. I know exactly what you mean when it comes to the Sanctuary of climbing and cutting. Any problems, concerns, troubles, etc are parked off to the side and the concentration on the climb takes over. Fly fishing takes me away also.

    The enjoyment that I receive watching your videos is very stress relieving for me. I'm glad that your medicine flows back for my benefit. It was coincidental that you related your manipulation of the branches to judo. In my mind, it was more of a style known as Kung Fir. As we grow older, we definitely need to redefine our physical limitations for the sake of of longevity. Interesting how you related the uncooperative chainsaw to purchasing a new plane. Still considering the Cirrus?

    A question about the steel core lifeline. If you were to slip (say your spikes failed to grab) the hope is the steel core would bind up enough to prevent a free fall. But with the slack in the steel core (looks like over a foot between your belly and the tree) would it grab on a straight tree with loose bark like a fir? Have any experiments been done to see how far one would fall before it binds up? Just asking and always wishing you & your team safe work.

I wonder if you know anything that might help mitigate stress injuries to the tendons and joints? I’m looking for arborist specific advice and what I’ve found generally amounts to: “everything is going to go to hell, just be happy your knees and shoulders aren’t shot yet”. I’m 34 and in good shape, 180 pounds, but tall and lanky. Anyone got any tips, or is it just a ‘tough it out’ sort of thin?

    Not as good as I once was. I’m as good once as I’ve ever been. Know that feeling.

    I have a question and don’t feel obligated to answer if you don’t pleas too. I’m from Florida and just started my own tree service not to long ago and wanted to see what you did that you thought worked the best to get your call volume and enough business coming in to become as established as you are now. I know we are in different parts of the country but just thought you might have some good opinions

    Do some rope assisted sit ups. Do them slowly about five to ten times a day. Do them for full range of motion stretch, not for body building exorcise. Then lay flat raise both knees toward chest and lay both knees over to the right, then to the left. If it does more than stretch mussel and ligaments then of course discontinue. Helped me a lot maybe it will help you. Love your channel !
