Husband: "I changed a light bulb"

Wife: "That's all"? I did the laundry, vacuumed the house, cooked three meals, and more, and you changed a light bulb?

Husband: "Yeah, but I filmed it."

Yea... I'm surprised he could make that climb with those brass balls he has. No way I would do that.
 
I climbed a few 300 foot towers after I had them erected. Very cool to be that high while still technically on the ground. It’s a different feeling from flying a plane.
 
Cool!

Then, exit the tower using a wing suit!
 
Love the Amsoil sticker on his hard hat !!!!
 
Has no one a sense of adventure anymore? Lol
 
Back in 1980's I was working on a Paramount film location in South Carolina. We had to build two fire towers, one 52 feet up and the other at 20 feet with a platform around the outer edge. Remember the days working on the tall one, nice and breezy up there and felt like a long way up at the time. The movie was " Paradise" with Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and Frodo.
 
Mental aspect aside; climbing over a quarter mile straight up into the air; on a metal rung ladder that did not appear to have many or any platforms to step aside and rest. That's one hell of an accomplishment in itself, not to mention the fact that continually snap the tie off lanyards all the way up. Probably windy as hell up that high.
 
That literally made my stomach uneasy just watching!! That's insane.
 
We hire an electrician that is climb certified to manage the antennas on the city's water towers. I used to do mast climbs on Navy ships when I was young. Highest one was on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Even docked it was swaying several feet in either direction. Now a days I struggle on top of a 12" step!
 
That was fantastic. You know that guy has not only the endurance but also a sense of calm to do that job. Kudos to the drone as well. How else could something like this be recorded?
 
Can't say I've ever climbed that high- I can remember 400' towers on a river crossing. You sort of lose relevance with height past 100' anyway. A fall from anything over 40', and you probably won't be down for breakfast anyway.
You take lunch with you, and anything else you may need. And you make sure the bulb you brought up was tested.
Haha
