I first saw this a couple years ago. EVERY since first seeing this I think it had to have been phot shopped. I say that not because I don't believe that someone is stupid enough to do this but rather I can't see any way to get that second ladder in position without the use of a bucket truck / huge cherry picker.

Yeah I'm familiar with those items but I don't see how someone is gonna be able to stand at the very top of the first ladder AND be able to swing something 30 more feet overhead to the next branch - not to mention trying to get the second ladder exactly in position where it is???? Hey, who knows though right 😆

I used to work for a tree care company. We started each week with a safety meeting that generally started thusly:

so and so died attempting to prune/remove a tree when they...


There is no shortage of morons out there ladies and gents. BTW, as a homeowner, you get the exquisite pleasure of paying off in the event that one of these chainsaw wielding knuckleheads hurts themselves on your property and aren't carrying an active insurance policy. Something to think about the next time some random redneck with a chainsaw knocks on your door claiming to be an "arborist".

What are youse guys talkin' about?
You put your left arm through a rung section of the second ladder....
....climb first ladder, staying to the left side...
...you step off the first ladder into that crotch....set up the second ladder.
Meanwhile, you got a faint smile on your face, remembering how your family got you
out of grade four....they burnt down the $@&*£ school....ah, good times.

I had a similar experience with a kitten...it was stuck in a tree, afraid to come down...
...it's cry sounded like a human baby.
...got out the extension ladder...the kitten was about 15 feet higher than the ladder...
...had to climb the rest...reached up as far as i could with my left arm....the kitten ran down
my arm and clung to my shoulder for dear life....when we got to the ground, the kitten
wouldn't let go...it was like having another growth.

I figured the cat belonged to one of the French families down the street....
...'cause when it finally calmed down, it said "Miaou"....
...most cats say "Meow"
