Guy at the Charlotte crane class said he skips the brake check on warm days, and I can't get it out of my head
He said "it's only a 40 footer, she'll hold" and laughed, and all I could picture was a 500 lb limb swinging free over a driveway at 2 pm on a Tuesday, so does anyone have a pre-climb checklist they actually stick to or am I overthinking this?
