RE: Don't be stupid (like me)
PT, I have to come clean on this. Maybe it will keep me, and perhaps someone elsealive longer. The reason I said "especially me" in the end of that post was because I don't use my safety harness as often as I should. Which is ALWAYS! This does indeed come from me being overly confident because of the work I have donefor the last 30 years. My problem is I'm comfortable being high upin a tree. I'm 50ft-90ft up (always tied in) on any given day. So, 20ft seems like I'm on the ground.
They refer to this as false confidence, and I'm aware of it. I just need to change the way I think/rationalize about this issue.
