I'm in school for this stuff right now in the USAF. They are wearing things called "Gaffs." Little spikes coming out the side of their boots. About 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch actually goes in the pole and holds all their weight. It is kinda easy, takes practice, and there is something in their boots.
Thank You. 1: You can't type worth a $h!t. B: a tower is not a pole. Again, thanks for proving me right about you guys being some of the dumbest people I know. I make over 100k and don't have to risk getting fried everyday of my life.
and many of the real linemen in my shop make over 200,000 a year. the job is as safe as you make it. u take ever precaution that u can nothing will ever happen, but of course everyone takes short cuts. and i dont see where he ever says a tower is a pole?? yea we climb towers 2 buddy. haha ur the reason we call phone guys, "phone fags"
Its truly easy, just can't be afraid of heights... And damn wheres this shop louie, 200k a year sounds pretty damn nice
