    Definitely not rich but thank God that I have quite a bit of work. Also, super thankful that @TreeVB helped me out with the project because otherwise I would have been screwed. Learned a lot from him and hope to implement what I learned in the near future. But yes, as of right now I continue to...

    Ahh. Kind of like that saying that says that its not what you say but how you say it? My intentions may be good but the way I come off can rub people the wrong way? I can accept that and it makes a lot of sense. Something that I can work on now that I am aware of it. Deep stuff @Chaplain242...

    I liked the article. I like where it says that the 'im better than you' attitude destroys our relationships with others because thats definitely true. Also, whoever would be great among you must be your servant. In this situation I interpret it as if I know more than someone else, I will...

    When I was climbing last week I was like "how the fuck is it that some companies pay climbers 18-20 an hour?" I would atleast pay 35-40, especially now that I see how dangerous this line of work is. I've made peace with the fact that if I pursue this career, that it's not matter of if but a...

    Much respect to you man. Sorry about your injuries but it takes a badass to be up there after those injuries. I hope to one day get where you are at and have the ability to bring those types of monsters down.

    No offense but that's not the definition of arrogance. Arrogance is feeling superior to you. I don't. I hope to one day reach the knowledge you have but if I ever do, I hope to never display any arrogance for being that knowledgeable.

    Thanks man. The good thing about a forum is that we can all share different perspectives. I have also worked at aggressive work sites and I have noticed that leadership like that is not effective. Working at aggressive worksites is not good for employee morale and that is not what I want in my...

    Thanks @southsoundtree. I really appreciate the advice and honestly this is the type of stuff I was looking for when joining treebuzz. @swingdude like you said he put it very eloquently. Very different than making comments such as "he seems to have fallen asleep again" or "you're a fool", etc...

    @rico , fair enough. I am sorry that I offended you. Ill do my best to not talk shit. Hope you do the same. In regards to the suggestions given, I guess im just not clear on a couple of things. Go hire a pro climber, pay and treat him well. I did this. However, some people said that this was...

    @rico I'll tell you this much, I'm gonna go through with this and share my whole journey along the way. If a limb falls on my client's home, you will know it, if I'm successful I will post, if I die I will have someone come on here and post, if I get injured I will post. I will have to be...

    What about the men that gave me encouragement and great advice? Do their opinions not count because they don't adjust to your pre conceived notions?

    You guys are great. This is the type of help that I've been looking for all along. And yes Mike you're right. I do gotta stay humble. It's easy to forget sometimes

    That's the thing, I'm not trying to have a pissing match. I'm trying to learn and absorb. You aren't trying to teach, you're just being a dick. Maybe you do have a shit load of knowledge but what good is that if you're a dick? I would rather get my knowledge from someone just as...

    The attitude is towards rico after he called me a fool. Wouldn't you get defensive if someone started name calling you? You would just sit there and take it? Nah man. Like I said I'll give you the same level of respect you give me. I don't think I'm asking for too much.

    Look dude it's easy to talk shit over the internet so I won't even engage in continuing to do that. What I will tell you is this, you will get the same level of respect that you show me so take that as you will. I will also tell you that there were instructors in that class that have real...

    How does talking shit help anyone out ever? I'd understand if it were banter but it's not. Also, I should look into another field because I can't handle shit talking? Lol. Great logic bro.

    Just finished a climbing course over the weekend

    Nah man, you're the fool. Taking this course also made me realize that there are people out there that really want to help out and others like you that just like to talk shit and try to discourage others. There were a couple of people there that had been working years as groundies that didn't...
