Remember when we used to climb without all the fancy gear?
I was up in a big white oak back in '09 outside of Nashville, had a 30 foot limb snap off and swing back into my face. I was using just a flipline and spurs, no helmet, and that thing caught me right on the eyebrow. Spent the next hour bleeding into my shirt while I finished the takedown because the homeowner was watching. Anybody else got a close call from back when we ran on pure stubbornness?

Why would anyone want to go back to no helmet after that? That sounds like a perfect reason why we have the gear now.

@jesse_fisher, same here, had a chainsaw kick back and bounce off my shin in '07, no chaps or anything.
