I'll be there, with popcorn!

You might be kidding .......................

1. I'm going to prep the popcorn popper, loaded, ready to plug in.
2. Butter chunks in the sauce pan ready to melt. (Yes butter, none of that fake stuff !)
3. Salt at the ready.
4. Set the Alarm to wake up, since that is WAY past my normal.

good teaser! It must have been hard to choose from all the material out there!

A pop up for this came 20/20 came up on my FB feed. Can't wait.

Hopefully they show enough of our footage we shot that day to get a good message across. You never know how much they cut out. I bet we have just a couple of minutes of air time.

About time somebody did this with such mainstream attention. Just curious, who's "we"? Was it Aspen or another group?

Nah, just me, the correspondent and the film crew. Not a big production.

I'm watching it right now.

Nicely done!

Now...let's hope that the viewers get the message...call a pro!

 

[Amos Rodriguez]

Calm cool and collected. Nice job Mark, wife says Chisholm is on tv come look. Nice clip.

Honestly Tom I didn't get this vibe. I don't think I heard the word arborist once. I heard landscaping. Mark you are top notch. There is no one better than you to represent us.
I feel they cut a bunch out. They edited it to make it look too easy.
Just don't cut through your hinge and your ok.

 

[macswan]

That's all there is to it right...right?

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Appreciate the support gang! Yeah, they always have to cut out a ton. We shot footage for 6 hours or so. We spoke about a lot of stuff. Even climbed treed together. Did they show that? I am going to watch it this morning since I crashed before it aired.

Matt was real good for a newbie. He likes what we do and was respectful about safety and the skill we possess.

If nothing else, they saw the two of us wearing PPE and they saw videos of others doing things wrong and not. Every time we can get some message across about the value of trees, their proper care , or safety it's a bonus.

Safety first always remember that!!! I like that they kept that for the end...As always well done Mark...

Awesome! I once had to explain to a client that it wasn't fair to risk his well being to his family of 5 kids to save a few dollars. Let the experts handle it and be there for your kids. It troubles me that it took so much convincing,but I cut him a break being a father myself! Way to reach out and spread the message!
