I know the age thing catches up to us all. I’m 57 and still climbing every day. It hurts a little more but I still enjoy it. I hope to keep going another 3 years.
I'm 67 and out of time for what you do. I could never climb like that anyway... I get terrified being up high off the ground. I still ride my big Harley Street Glide tho!
I’m in my early 40’s and started climbing doing removals in my small community…. I price for the job not the time it takes, let’s me work at my own pace and enjoy it without the pressure to produce for a company… as I get older I’ll just slow down a bit more untill my body says stop. ……and I’m 235lb’s before I strap on my gear and a saw… even a 8” poplar top feels like cooked spaghetti to me 🤣
i'm pretty much in the same place. Ive been doing part time sub contract ground work and some solo removals/lot clean up. Just purchased climbing gear and have been slowly working towards starting to do more jobs on my own. I'm a bigger guy as well, late 40's though. Good luck and stay safe!
Tim, I sit here watching you videos I can't turn it off you got me bit worried 😢 cause you was on that Skimpy limb and crap one next too you was worse and you just playing with tree , ohhh boy I'm 200# and not sure if I play with that tree that much but I may think bit different, but just saying you one hell of man I enjoy all your videos I check out your stuff I can buy.
I'm 38 with sciatic nerve issues. I climb depending on the jobs I'm probably in 8 or 9 trees a week. Sometimes more. I know it'll be a day when I have to get a lift and do smaller trees I guess until I can stack enough money to retire if my mind will let me lol

Well I know I climbed up to 2 hours 63 years old so I have now doing part-time work it's not bad you do get younger people so you got to keep going
Tim you are as young as you feel you are. I’m 60 and still climbing, not every day but still getting it done.
Nice work.
I feel like I'm 25. Thanks for the encouragement.
I learned a lot about tree climbing thanks to you 🙏🏽

Great video
Do you see a bucket truck or a spider in your future when you decide to stop climbing?
🤔 maybe. More likely will hire a younger climber.
When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail…
Have you ever had a limb to break on you causinf a partial fall
Nope. I have gaffed out though which happens to everyone.
