1 mexican roofer can do this in 1/3 of the time. Great and safe procedure though. There should really have someone immediately hold the bottom of the ladder from the front though. Less chance of slip than holding it from the back
I use to love doing this by myself just push the bottom against a wall and push up ! its all about balance and knowing your strength! I know have a herniated disk problem thats why is better doing it as group.
Good demonstration - I think some miss the point that you are methodical for educational purposes. I think the ladder knot at end was unnecessarily slow and NOT for education intent (I.e. needs practice).
Well thank god this wasn't a real emergency situation because these 3 are slow as molasses... It would have taken me ...by myself less than 30 seconds to have it off the truck, extended and up in position.
@@justinpurcell2261 .. I suggest you ask to try this with some firefighters. Put on 70 pounds of gear and raise that ladder. Firefighters have to pace themselves unless it’s a rescue, especially small understaffed departments. I’ve been a firefighter for 22 years. Served in the Army before that, worked in construction, all kinds of jobs. The first 15 minutes of an intense structure fire is one of the most intense and physically taxing things you can do. I’m not exaggerating. One of my best friends is a mason and he is gassed at fires. Anyone can throw ladders under no duress. This is also a slow instructional video. The pace would be totally different in real world application.
35 is a beast to deal with! Respect
He didn’t climb very far . Is he scared of heights?
Dose he need to show you how to climb a ladder?

I'm not sure I'd take your word for it

I would love to see you throw a 150 lb 35 foot extension ladder all by yourself lmfao I doubt you could do this at all let alone in 30 seconds
