Vent: Back in '08 I had to pick between a stick welder or a new rigging sling set for a big job in Tacoma.

The crew was split on what we needed more for the pressure vessel install. I went with the slings, figuring we could rent a welder if we had to. It turned out the old slings we had were way past their safe working load and would have failed. Anyone else ever make a call like that where the boring safety gear was the real winner?

Ever notice how the boring choice saves your skin?

Yeah, feels like a life rule at this point. Play it safe and you don't get burned.
