      Hi Dane! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I really enjoyed doing the video with you and J.B. :) I think you guys are awesome, and it's so great to have such an interesting story on my channel. So gratitude is all mine! I hope we run into each other again somewhere on the Gold Coast. If I see you abseiling down one of our neighbouring buildings, I'll sing out and say hello :)

      @@SuvisJournalism Some old growth trees are over 300 feet. I didn't climb quite that high. My goal isn't to climb the biggest tree, although that would be fun. I just want to enjoy the exercise and play like I did when I was a kid, and so far, I have been pretty successful at that. When springtime and early summer rolls around I will climb trees in the local mountains or near one of the local rivers and just sit quietly so I can watch for animals like deer, elk, and bears.

    Must be nice having a safety line, I enjoy mine exploring which is SRT so a single rope with no safety backup and a much more "basic" descender as his would get gunked up with mud. Really interesting job though, I'd love it, the only bad thing is going back up the rope. I'd be going to the bottom and getting the lift back up 😂
