I legit watched a kid that was working with his dad fall off of a tower attempting a gin pull jump. The tool used for stacking towers, it’s a huge trellis that is fixed to the top of a newly applied tower section, used to pull the next piece up to repeat the process. Most towers are around 900ft on towers those things are applicable for. So, one of the spooky things we told all green horns, is that if you fucking fall, DO NOT scream. Because it can really scare other teammates and possibly cause a second accident. 2010 in October I think, anyways, this company owners kid, fucking missed his jump, when he thought he had a tie point set on his descender. Homie, I watched him do it, he didn’t scream…….
His father was never the same. Hell none of us were. It’s dangerous fucking work man. And that kid, was a fucking hotshot. Chew on that shit. Scaffolding and rigging is something that demands respect. Do your job right, literal lives depend on it.

Crazy story. That shit has fucked me up for years now……..


SMILE MOTHERFUCKERS

Sorry if that story was a drag……

Edit- rip Kenny Strickland. 👊🏻

Moral of the story, you never want to take the fast way down a tower. Slow methodical sure and safe is the way. No one likes a show off. Oh, AND DONT DROP YOUR BOLTS AND TOOLS. They hit max velocity fast, and will definitely kill anyone in a hard hat. They sure look cool though…..
Much respect is due to those that build, I’m a chicken shit anymore than fifteen twenty feet of the ground, my legs lock up and my body rejects heights with all its being. I can use a treestand and that’s about it. Here’s a tribute to those who have fallen!!

Hey man, thanks for that. Awesome post. Truly. Those li es of work ain’t for everyone man, it’s a prerequisite to be half crazy even to be considered hahaha. It’s the Wild West up there for sure. Just like folks needed us up in the air making your dumb porn receiver work, we need all of y’all on the ground for everything else because we are all Neanderthals 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude tons of fun when you tie the tails together and toss them on a power line like old shoes.

They really lose their shit.

I’ve actually got a grow question for ya Capn my top buds under the light are getting slow leaf curl upwards I know to much light or heat but because I’m only running 1 light the edges of my grow don’t get enough light unless my Gavita is turned up to 750watts so should I knock it down to say 600 letting the edges suffer or keep it cranking at 750 and burn a few leaves up? I’ve been leaving it at 750 thinking who cares bout a few leaves just want your opinion?

We are best of buddies now. The monkey fist is generally used as a marine tool. So they can pitch tie down rope to deck hands with some aim, I have one on my keys……I love being constantly reminded that y’all are in fact, my people 👊🏻🤡
Yes! That, and clobbering anyone silly enough to attempt to hijack your ship..

I learned this knot from an old friend who grew up a on the bay, and fancied himself a bit of a pirate.

Can you raise it any higher? Higher hanging height with higher intensity create a more even light spread

Always listen to your plants when they scream at you. Less could be more in this strains case I would absolutely knock back the throttle. 10 percent at a time. It may take a couple few days. How about the spiked edges of your leaves, the very points, are they browning?
