  My ass would get confused by all the ropes and would end up plummeting to my death because I disconnected that one line.

  Looks difficult in nice weather. Imagine 10 below snow blowing sideways. Thanks lineman guy

  My dad did this for 40 years before retiring. Worked many ice storms in other locations and was called out all hours of the day and night no matter the weather. That man only had a 3rd grade education but could work circles around a lot of people. He "burned" a pole a couple of times. Back in his days they climbed everything. He has been gone for almost 10 years now and what I wouldn't do to have him back again. Thank you to all the linemen for doing this type of work!

  Thanks for all the linemen that risk their lives to keep the power on so we can watch YouTube.

  There is so much more than just knowing the electrical side of things, the climbing alone is pretty damned complex.

  I've got mad respect for these guys. They play with lethal amounts of voltage just so we can have some damn hot pockets

  I wouldn’t be able to do the ladder bit at ground level. This is truly legend. Won’t take my electricity for granted ever again.

  I am stressed, bewildered, worried, and exhausted just by watching this video. What a job!
