Climbhome,
You sure nailed it here. I started climbing in 1970 for $1.60 an hour and had fun with you mentioned and more.
First day up a stick my foreman was opposite side of the pole and drove a molding staple into my safety with out me knowing.
The most fun was training (spelled torturing) new guys.
Find a fresh dog turd and fill their ditty bag with it.
Working an easements we'd drop our belts and jump off the garage roof into swimming pools.
A piece of .412 made a nice Boones Farm holder for your belt.
Back then anything was acceptable as long as you got the footage. Burn a full reel of strand and get back to the barn to drunk to drive the POS truck. Good times....
