WHAT ABSEILING FOR A LIVING IS LIKE//GOLD COAST ROPE ACCESS TECHNICIANS TALK ABOUT WORKING HIGH// 

Lol, their job is pretty cool 😎 isn’t it 😀👍

@@SuvisJournalism it is, I might have to come out of retirement when I get back 😊

Hi Dane! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I really enjoyed doing the video with you and J.B. :) I think you guys are awesome, and it's so great to have such an interesting story on my channel. So gratitude is all mine! I hope we run into each other again somewhere on the Gold Coast. If I see you abseiling down one of our neighbouring buildings, I'll sing out and say hello :)

Dano!! Wicked bruthaa..🤙🤙🤙

Did you guys bang?!

Yes I agree, they are brave men, especially to overcome the initial fear 👍 Thank you 🙏 so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate your support 😀🙏😎

Yes, as long as you’re not scared of heights! 😀😎

Hello!! Oh, that's great, your hubby is a brave man :) Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, it's great to e-meet you :)

Thank you 🙏 so much for your kind support, I really appreciate you 😀

Yes I agree but I think you have to be brave too, lol 😂

@@SuvisJournalism no darlo🙈

Hello!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and to share your experience :) I really enjoyed hearing about you growing more confident and having fun on the rope. Good on you!! I really admire the courage you have to give it a go and work on your skills. I wish I was brave enough to do it myself, lol :) Stay in touch and let me know how you're going with it, and thank you again so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate you :)

@@SuvisJournalism I was almost 70 years old when I decided to learn to climb, and last year I climbed an old growth fir tree. My goal is to climb and learn as much as I can while I am still able. It is great fun and wonderful exercise. I'll be 72 years old in May, and hope to keep climbing for many more years.

@@340wbymag Wow, that is really impressive!! How big was the fir tree? If it was old growth, it was probably enormous :) And I am guessing that with your strength and vigour, you absolutely will be climbing for many more years to come!! You are an inspiration :)

@@SuvisJournalism Some old growth trees are over 300 feet. I didn't climb quite that high. My goal isn't to climb the biggest tree, although that would be fun. I just want to enjoy the exercise and play like I did when I was a kid, and so far, I have been pretty successful at that. When springtime and early summer rolls around I will climb trees in the local mountains or near one of the local rivers and just sit quietly so I can watch for animals like deer, elk, and bears.

@@340wbymag Those old growth trees can be the size of a small high-rise building!! You should take some video!! I would love to see one :)

It's pretty cool what they do every day isn't it!? :)

Yes I agree! Working on the ropes is pretty risky!

Nah. It’s actually pretty safe. Accidents happen bc of human failure and not bc of the gear.

Lol, thank you so much for taking the time to comment :) Yeah, it's a great story :) I always assumed that rope access technicians would experience no fear about their work, so it was even more impressive for me to hear that sometimes you have to overcome a very real fear to work on the ropes :) Thank you again for stopping by, it's great to discover your channel, too!! :)

No, we are in Australia :)

LOL, I could not agree more :) His name is Piper, and he is in so many of our videos. Either featured, or in the background, or barking, or video-bombing a reel by destroying something we are trying to highlight in a video. We love him though, even though he can be so annoying at times :)

You should definitely give it a go :) I know what you mean about a fear of heights, lol. But I think you would get used to heights after a while, and then hopefully it wouldn't worry you anymore :) Thank you for taking the time to comment!

@@SuvisJournalism I agree I wish I could afford a pickup truck so I could go to a area that I can go tree climbing

@@trevethan82319841 That would be good practice for heights, that's for sure! We live in a high rise building as you can see, and it actually took me a little while to work up the courage to stand right near our balcony railing. I have a fear of heights, too :)

@@SuvisJournalism I live in a apt in a small town and it sucks that the park here the town government doesn't allow tree climbing because of safty and insurance reasons but I miss Philadelphia I would love to go repaling off of a old railway bridge

@@trevethan82319841 That would really be cool off of an old railway bridge :) I know what you mean about town governments, they can really suck :( The council here kept parks closed for kids, well after the risk of COVID had passed, so children had nowhere to play outside.

It’s not for the faint-hearted that’s for sure 😀

Me too, I am genuinely scared of heights :)

Hello 😀 You could try contacting rope access technician companies to see if they have openings 👍😎

Hi again :) Building Rectification Services here on the Gold Coast is currently hiring. You could call them on: (07) 5539 3588 :) Good luck!

Hello! Where do you live? If you're in Australia, there are rope access companies here on the Gold Coast that are hiring, as well as rope access courses that you can do :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uj4PtFKznHY.html

​@@SuvisJournalismi have been working as rope access for 5 years in my country in Indonesia ,of course i want to have opportunity to work rope access in Australia 

@@Fajar.andunisy I wonder if a company would help you come to Australia? You could potentially contact some rope access companies here on the Gold Coast and ask? :)

@@SuvisJournalism ohh i see thank you for your information,

LOL, I shouldn't laugh but you made me laugh to read your comment. You poor thing!! And you're up there doing important and dangerous work!! I feel for you :) On another note, I often wonder what rope techs have seen in their day. Once we had rope techs doing the windows in our high rise and I forgot and accidentally came out of the bathroom, fresh from the shower, in the raw, and spotted them just in time to grab a towel, just before I gave THEM a fright, ha-ha :)

@@SuvisJournalism I'm sure the lads didn't need to see you😂😂 Once there was a girl who rubbed stuff in her bits for all to see. My men knew every morning she would do it. I had to go to her doir and ask her to shut her curtains. She tried to sue. She failed. Nice boibs though.

@@SuvisJournalism I have no priblem being Violent to keep my men safe. Most RA guys are hippy Climbers or nental Freefallers. I'm both. I'm also the former Soldier who cares for his men. I'm sure if you were to work with me or anyone I taught you would love life better.

@@HappyBear376 You are a good man to care for your team and to keep your men safe :) I really admire the hard work and dedication it takes to be a soldier and to work with ropes. It's really impressive! Thank you for sharing and for taking the time to stop by this channel. I truly appreciate your support and for sharing your anecdote :) I am sure it will make other rope techs smile :) Perhaps something similar has happened to them, too? :)

@@SuvisJournalism Other Rope Techs Know who I am. The ones I teach are told one thing. Be the Boss you wish you had. I'm old now and suffer from Britny Spears (My lower back is killing me..).

I thought the same but he had it on just very low behind his thigh

ask the experienced guys whether short were ever an issue.
