That’s me in the tree! I totally enjoyed myself in the sequoia - it was the perfect last night of what was a perfect holiday. Two things stopped me going higher: (1) knowing I’d had a few glasses of the local brew and (2) not wanting to jeopardise doing the parkrun I had my heart set on the next morning. I will dream of coming back and climbing right to the top… and enjoying a beer on my descent! A pleasure to meet you Blair, good luck with the book.
I climbed my first big pine when I was 7, 51 years ago. Mom couldn’t find me and when she did was kind of upset. It was safer 65 feet up that tree, lol. I remember finding a birds nest tied to the top fork with nylon string, I was fascinated by that. I’m glad your video popped up this morning and I will look for your book. Thanks.
@@saltrock9642 it will be a while before the book is finished but I’m off to a good start. About 80 pages so far. Problem is, I keep remembering good stories to add.
That excerpt is well written. I think it’s an excellent idea for an animated children’s book. Like George of the Jungle. You can inspire an entire generation to climb trees (and appreciate nature) if you can sum it up in a short read. Everyone remembers their favorite children’s book, just don’t let Humpty Dumpty fall out of a tree!
Blair I will prepay for a book im open about your passion in education I teach as often as time will permit kids of all ages even the ones whom are old enough to own a home .. Joe
@@mvblitzyo thanks Joe. I will make a list of interested subscribers and keep you in the loop. I post this as an inquiry as to how much interest there is. Seems like a few folks are interested. Still got a ways to go. I have a lot of stories to add to this and put them in order. Sorting old photos as well. Thanks Joe
Good video as always and looking forward to the book. Have you ever done tree work away from the tools and do you think you would want to do that in the future?
Nice work on the Book. Keep thinking about the book and you'd find new ideas popping up in your head. In respect to working around those power wires, would it not be better to have the power company come out and cut the power for an hour or so to allow you to cut those branches. Better to play it safe......always, as accidents are what they are..........accidents. Cheers
I think that climbing tree in the beginning was a Cedar tree...?? Those oblivious people walking under you are not really oblivious...they must know who you are and have supreme confidence that you would never allow them to get hurt....LOL..!! If you believe that, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona that I will sell to you real cheap...LOL..!! Real oblivion is the state of mind of your current Governor.

Hell, let’s toast a few on the top!!😳

Thanks for another video. I watched the whole thing. 👍
@@VeteranTreeService must be doing something right then.
That tree looks like a some sort of sequoia, maybe a mature dawn redwood.

Nice job and great pointers! 💪😎
Glad you liked it!
Please don't pull a George R.R. Martin on us.

@@arboristBlairGlenn The author of the game of thrones books. Fans have been waiting for years for him to finish the next book in the series.
Todays word of the day: oblivious. I feel ya.
@@matthewtaylor2185 seems the whole world is that way
Yep, most ppl are walking victims, oblivious to the real world around them!!
@@phillyfathead so many people just walked under us while we were cutting down this tree. Death wish?

Your writing has that music in it and it resonates well. Reflects that just maybe you do things right.
I keep adding short stories to this collection and it just keeps growing. Tree work is one big adventure!
Good work.

“Tree work away from the tools”?? Explain please
@@arboristBlairGlenn Hi. Jobs like tree inspecting, consulting, tree manager for large land owners for example.
Looking forward to it

Hot power was a full ten feet away so I was not concerned about those wires, (much)
TRUMP 2024
Just lost my utility gig. Dealing with the VA and shit I wanna give up. If I'm not climbing I'm not whole.
@@SomeDeadHippyProductions well, go into business for yourself. Be independent! Be your own boss! Just do high end, high quality pruning.
@@arboristBlairGlenn I'm about that, just can't afford equipment at the moment. Business for myself is the pipe dream
Reflects that just maybe you do things right.
I always strive to do right, be honest and fair. If someone cheats and lies their way through life, the word “integrity” never finds room.
Very nice! Great idea!
Thanks
