    I really admire your enthusiasm and dedication to a risky occupation.
    I can relate to why people like you and others do. The reason why I can relate, is that many years ago when I was taking an advanced Parachute course at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, we were doing a very early morning jump 4:30 am. The plane over shot the target area and gave the green light. I ended up in a clump of tall pine trees. I had cuts and scrapes,but ok. After the headcount I and a few others were missing. The others were located quickly but I was so far up I couldn't be found by the small crew. When I was located, a local tree company was brought in to get me down. I was very nervous about this after being in the trees for most of the day. However, one guy comes up cutting his way to me and talking about how he's here to help me out. Well, I can say that once he got close and assessed the situation, it didn't take long until I was on the ground.
    I thought jumping out of aircraft was exciting, but this was by far the best experience in my young life!! My deepest respect to what you guys do.
    And to this day I'm still afraid of heights!!

    What a golden opportunity for a new climber, having a guru video the job you so smartly walked away from. No harm, no foul. We all seem to take those jobs when we first start out. Seems easy enough and the lure of money overrides our common sense. Most of us get lucky and avoid a serious injury, or worse. Kudos to both; one for knowing when to tap out and one for recognizing a teachable moment.

    There is no such thing as "over explaining" ... This is particularily the case when addressing your audience via a camera; you have no feedback, thus no way of guaging the level of the viewers comprehension ... Personally, I like your presentation style, I think you have found the right balance making these videos interesting, informative and entertaining to watch. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you for taking the time to do it 😎

    pulley with sling, and two 3/4 inch thimbles with slings, and using the waist strap as a shoulder strap before watching one of your videos on how to use it. Now it makes a
    great compact rope bag to carry climbing rope in!

I say it's a no-go, because given enough time it will end up in your face/dental area for sure at a certain point in time. He's on about the advantages of a bit of weight and so on and such.. I see you use the carabiner instead of a timber hitch too. Any more argumentations for it? Greetings and much appreciation from a small place overseas.

    Here’s my question. At about 10:24 ff you scaled up that wobbly leaner. Did I see that correctly? No secondary harness or flip line and the climbing rope was going to horizontal. So is balancing on that leaner an issue? You make it look quite easy! I find those the hardest to climb with an impetus to swing to the underside in the event of a loss of balance, gaff issue, etc? Any advice in this specific skill? Great videos as always. Just started climbing...58 years old. Loving it!

    Please don’t think you are over explaining! We need teachers like you need to explain so green horns like me can be safe and understand things only experience can teach!
