Crane accident 8/31/21 Washington State

[AlanKekoa]

I edited my comment to clear any misunderstandings, because we will not pick intentionally pick up a piece that is too heavy. That is simply a bad idea.

My apologies for my error in explanation, the next time perhaps I will simply keep my thoughts to myself.

And on a side note, I am far from perfect. I have made my share of mistakes, and continue to do so. I’ve never broken a building with a falling tree or had a major injury, but I’ve broken fence rails, punched a driveway, and had a couple close calls with falling limbs that could have been avoided. I try to learn from those so I do not repeat them, and I try my best to own my mistakes (not always perfect there either) and to use them as teaching moments for the crew here in hopes of saving someone else from the same experiences.

Thanks for your response, none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes and thankfully neither of us has ever made a very serious mistake. Let’s keep up the good work

 

[AlanKekoa]

What the fuck is your problem buddy?

No problem. When you point a finger there’s 2 pointing back at you l, I’ve enjoyed your recent replies.

Give you a break? You’re a liar, as noted by others in that thread that’s not at all what I said. And if they’re very well respected members with tons of experience and still getting hurt that proves my point doesn’t it. Makes me think you got your feelings hurt trying to talk a big game you can’t back up.

I’m a man of my word Sir
You only get one thing in this world for free and that’s your word
I may be a lot of things, but one thing I am not is a liar and your ridiculous. Go do a tree job that your fear for your life and please be safe. I am done with this.

Well you’re still lying, I’ve never done a Job or made a cut where I feared for my life because that would be a cut I would not make, I’d love to see you work someday and see what you’re actually made of, maybe better for a liar to go back to selling pot like a lazy ass who tries to hate on real tree folk. Just get your shit together still acting all hurt, for what? I never said anything to you, you just didn’t like hearing a real opinion. Also it’s *You’re

 

[southsoundtree]

Dude, wtf?

Aggro "you're a liar" and all.





Another guy to come on a forum, call names, and move on, is my guess. Add something worthwhile, please!



If you're wondering is this is an isolated screw-up...
Ask about the climber they almost killed at ETW? Should be easy enough, probably less than a year since that kid's life changed forever.


Jeez!

I will make one last comment here, and that is in regards to your disparaging comments towards Mr. Venasnursery. I have never met him person, but would be honored to have the opportunity. He seems to be an honest man, a man of integrity, as far as I can tell. The very fact that he is willing to put out his past on a public forum, explaining that he used to do some illegal things and instead working the hours he has to rebuild his life, says a lot about his character.

The fact that you are willing to take such statements and use them to attack him, without having ever met him, and without ever having any direct communications with him to give a base for your opinions tells a lot about your character.

That’s just the truth he was lying, yeah sounds like they’re running a messed up show their and I have no respect for business owners with bad track records like that.

Says a lot about my character? That’s funny because I seem to remember well that he started insulting my lying about a comment I made on another post, I didn’t lie in my response to an actual comment he made in a post, I thought the motivation was to never be in jail again not to be motivated because you love trees and doing hard work, it’s like forcing yourself to work hard to avoid yourself, and then lie and make sour comments at people who actually love it and live it. I don’t blame other people for leaving this forum, I’d say their is a lot of useful information and it can be a great tool but that was my whole point of what I’ve now become a part of, is, let’s share with is actually of importance and useful and helpful to each other I don’t spend my time to come on hear and read someone’s pointless bullshit.

Thank you very much sir!

Seems the one doing most the finger pointing is yourself, @AlanKekoa . Do you feel better now? Would you like us to set up a ceremony to award you a medal for threshing out the pretenders and hypocrites? I’m sure it can be arranged. Any volunteers?

No thanks needed, but it is appreciated, Now that we all know how it feels to point fingers peace can reign upon the land once again, good day my friend

I foresee another tantrum thrower headed for the door.

There was definitely some exposure in this thread. Might wanna cover up those cheeks, AK.

You’re actually a little late for pride month. Sure you can try to bully someone because you don’t like it, but that’s pretty lame and childish again.

You’re doing a great job at preventing people from making ignorant criticisms

I am quite proud. A proud father of six children, so every month is pride month.

Try again, this is fun.

We can go all day, you made the comment about butt stuff. I don’t lie or retract my comments like others here, yet you come out of nowhere to join the gang, birds of a feather flock together?

 

[rico]

What’s special is guys in here acting like they’re special and never do any wrong while pointing fingers at everyone else I’m pretty sure the last commenter Steve and Rico are both injured from mistakes they made, so that’s pretty telling in its self, isn’t it. I come here to learn and connect not to read about some bullshit of who’s the more perfect person, also Reach claimed he would pick up a log to heavy with a crane and just sit it back down and then completely edited his entire comment. There’s a lot of pretenders in here apparently

To whom it may concern,

1. No one here has suggested that they are special.

2. No one here has suggested that they are perfect.

3. No one here has suggested that they never make mistakes.

3. You assume that my recent injury was the result of a mistake on my part? Silly fucking assumption...

Your friend the "pretender"

 

[Dan Cobb]

This thread is reminding me of a couple of people I've known. To them, most everybody else was a problem. They never could recognize that they were the common thread.

#2 and #3 seem to contradict themselves, that’s where it comes from, I know you’re not pretending at all I can tell you’re a certified badass and I truly mean that they really don’t make people like that anymore, thanks for sharing your links to your videos I’ve been having some time to watch some real climbing, don’t see many guys doing spur climbing like that someone I actually want to take notes on technique from big time.
