    totally understand, I get ya. however over my jump career quite often I had to trust others to pack my chute and me deal with the consequences, my reserve was never packed by me but by an FAA rigger. I'm not trained anyway and wouldn't trust myself. The substandard planes and the trainee...

    understand and agree with your points totally. your point on the "misuse" of the word fear is not necessarily because of misuse, words can have different connotations and use by people due to their lexical range and based on individual understandings and experiences. One of the older...

    "I deleted my post to be nice but now I wish I wouldn't have.", "AM SHAKING? :) I know its not a skydiving forum sherlock, no kidding, but the thread was about complacency effects all pursuits not just tree work. It's human psychology. Skydiving is where I come from and what I know, to...

    Yes I know it is just a movie and It's humorous to see Rico's reaction. He obviously understood the dig, just as I understood his Matt Foley Digg. However the Humility is what I have been pushing more than fear. Am not scared of a little fear but am vary scared of loosing Humility.

    One last point you stated a few posts back " Not really sure why I am defending myself to someone who has ZERO comprehension of what my day to day tree-life looks like. Instead, please accept my friendly invitation to come out and spend a day wreaking a big Fir or Red.." Then you post a...

    The lesson is not about fear, it's called Humility. Quint had plenty of skill(like you) but not a lot of Humility.(he thought he had seen it all) Sounds of lot like you my friend, a too high opinion of yourself. You see I don't, I know I know little and am not scared to admit it. Even when...

    Glad you are ok. Enjoyed reading your post. The comments you made really resonate with me. especially the comment you made, "I've worked with a guy who was naturally more scared of heights. This person did not give up. And shouldn't have, just because he was more fearful than others. He gains...

    thanks for that although I don't wanna bore anyone about skydiving, just rock on up to your local dropzone and they will sort you out. I come to learn about tree climbing, never meant to get involved in such a lengthy discussions, Rico just wound me up with the attitude, which I must admit I...
