Hah! it's funny in the part where he gets his journeyman's card and he says; "It means there's a whole lot of work you're not gonna have to do") that a plumber is in there!
Hopefully this year I can get my cdl permit and go to my local line college and make my cdl and sign the books. Ever since I was a kid this is what I wanted to do. I have a huge collection of power line tools and equipment and poles that I climb in my yard. I can’t any wait to get paid doing what I love!
Love this old stuff
Golly, I love these old videos.
GO IBEW!!
WORK UNION!!
STAY SAFE!!
LIVE TO TEACH BY EXAMPLE!!
In some ways, life was better back then. And also in some ways, life is better now.
The video narration is actually insane

Wouldn’t recommend line school .just get your CDL and sign the books ,and come on as a ground man then join their apprenticeship.
I think the same narrator made “shake hands with danger”.

We can only hope to be as great as those who came before us. Hopefully I soon walk in their shoes and have the opportunity carry on their ethic.
Where have you applied at? IBEW or nothing just remember that
@@freethinkingamerican80 absolutely brother, I’ve applied to both locals in my state. Just got my CDL, figure I either go union or I don’t go at all!
With your ethic and motivation to do so, I'm certain you'll make it far in the field!

@@EmersonPUSA thank you, I appreciate that tons.
Not in the business, but this is still great. Should introduce the trades to all high school kids with videos like this.
Comment for the algorithm
Me too
They won't let you climb anymore than a fence these days.
:50 he's not using the climbing/safety belt.
they used to free climb back in the day . Just how it was.
0:50 Has a belt to go around the pole. . . not using it. What is he going to do when he gets to the top?
he's going to belt around the pole when he gets to the work...
@@deopressoliber5984 I am imagining him holding on by 1 hand while he swings the belt around the pole and tries to snap in.
@@SeaScoutDan yes that’s exactly how it’s done when you free climb . Old practice though. Not OSHA approved for wood pole climbing now.
I was thinking the same thing. I learned how to gaff up in the Navy Seabees.
free climb it's the best way osha ang bucksqueeze suck old lineman is a reel man the lineman now is fucking gay
