    I dont think people realise how insanely hard that 880 is to operate. I ran one multiple times, and I’m more then glad it’s gone. Massive hat off to Kevin. He’s fitter then most 30 year olds. Mad!

    I absolutely enjoy watching your videos myself having been a climber in the early 1970’s. My down fall (literally) came when I fell 55 feet landing on my feet resulting in a compound fracture of my 2nd, 3rd,and 4th lumbar vertebrae. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and a year in traction. By Gods grace I could walk though with a limp and returned to climbing phone poles as a lineman for four years. Thank you for the chance to feel like I was up there with you.

    I started the carnivore diet in September. I went 3 months, before having a "cheat meal". I ate pizza, and it tasted fantastic. However, the next day, my gut hurt, I felt achy, and my joints didn't seem quite as limber. Couple days later, I was good again. Tried pizza again a couple months later and had the same reactions. I'm sticking to carnivore, from here on out. Once we clean up our diets, it's crazy how certain foods make our bodies react, and I at that crap for decades. Congrats on the diet fellas.

    Sorry to hear your Husky 462 got stolen out of your truck! Might have to buy a bunch of same key padlocks and lock those saws down. Your biz insurance should help cover the replacement cost, if you have that particular theft endorsement. Should also look into and get biz interruption/biz continuance policy, as well as the disability insurance WA state doesn't have by law, i.e. law might require 6 months STD (short term disability of 6 months) and LTD is your dime, or the other way around. LTD saved my life at 42!
