Not the video I intended but this is what happened. Somehow managed to fall off of the ladder and dropped about 12ft. Banged myself up pretty good but I'm feeling real lucky.
UPDATE: I was hurting the next morning! and I'm still in quite a bit of pain especially my neck. But that could have been a whole lot worse so I'm not complaining. ;) Now I know I should have those solar panels angled better anyway and I already got the brackets. As soon as I get a new ladder and the weather improves I'm going to make those panels adjustable.
So glad you’re okay. I say a little prayer every time I’m working on my property with power tools, ladders or anything that that can ruin my day. Prayers for you buddy.
Hey there Dale, your neighbor next door in NH. Glad your okay and on the mend. Accidents happen no matter how careful we are sometimes or how often we might do it. Sometimes accidents can help us be safer because it reminds us that no matter how safe we are we can still fall victim (no pun intended) and we become more aware and cautious of what we are doing from that point on (The Wake Up Call) so to speak. Not sure if you're doing any hunting right now but I like watching your grouse hunts. 👍 Be safe and I look forward to your next video. 🇺🇲
I'm so glad you are ok Dale. I would suggest a fixed step ladder, you might need a 12'. Lean it against the roof and pin it at the bottom. Take some stakes, or better pipe ,and sledgehammer, 2 of them at the base of the ladder and drive them into the ground. You will be hard pressed to have the ladder come out on you. Also a fixed step ladder won't come apart. As a carpenter, who has made just about every mistake you can make, I believe that is what happened to you. Take care buddy! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, and of course, The Cabin!!!!
Like you say, it could have been worse. When I redid the roof on my garage, I had 30 lb tar paper that I put on first. One morning I climbed up onto the roof, and when I stepped off the ladder, the tar paper ripped and I went off the roof . I was about 10 feet above the ground, and landed on my feet and splayed out fingers. with a hammer in my right hand. 28 years later, I remember that fall every time I look my right index and middle fingers, which are twisted to one side from the 2nd knuckle to the tip. They were not broken, just badly sprained. I taped them together with duct tape and went back to work on the roof. They turned all sorts of pretty colors, but were moveable the next day, so I never got medical attention. So much for my nursing judgement! If it had been one of my patients, I would have taken them to Urgent Care right away! Glad you are not busted up!
Hi Dale!! Man that was a hard fall. Really glad to see you didn't get hurt really bad. You probably need to go see the Chiropractor and get your neck put back in place. That ladder actually looked like a pretty light duty one for a man of your size. Hopefully everything gets to feeling better!!😀😀 Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Hey Dale, I hope your ok. It is awful when you take a fall, good thing you did not nock yourself out. I tend to now over think things I do in the air or on a ladder. Take care!
This wasn't the best day, especially no PBR, but a good lesson in how to handle an accident like your ladder fail. You were smart to seek company. You knew your thinker wasn't working properly. Thanks for sharing.
Glad u are OK Dale. I also spend most of my time alone working at my Cabin also. Had some close calls too. One thing I do have is a Military Tourniquet in my pocket when I’m cutting Firewood 🪵. I wear the chaps/helmet/boots. Anyway, glad u are not to seriously beat up. Take care, be safe and looking forward to seeing your next video. Happy American 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving Dale.
Holy moley... Good to see you are OK. Ladders are always a risk if you are on your own. Maybe think about relocating the solar panels to a ground stand? (I believe you once set up some like that for your fridge in a previous video). Might not look so unobtrusive but a lot safer to clear and probably more power generated to boot. Stay safe!
Glad to see you came up from the tumble still in one piece, Dale. Take care of yourself while enjoying the cabin times. Good to know we can look forward to another video at the cabin and not the ER. Stay safe and best regards.
I'm glad you're OK. You are totally out of control as you fall and never know how it would end up. Thankfully you're not too much worst for the wear. It's a trauma and it happens a lot.
Dale glad your OK. I had that happen once because the feet of the ladder decided to slide off of the sidewalk. Rode it down and like you said it only takes 2 seconds to come down. Hope you fell better soon and maybe see if you can get those solar panels in a spot where you don't have to use a ladder in the snow, cold and ice. Take care.
I was thinkin’ about you over the weekend, but I didn’t want to see this kind of video. Glad to see that you are on the mend. Alone is a bad place to get hurt. Here’s a big 👍 to a full recovery. Thanks for sharing the bad with the good and take care out there.
Happy to see that you will pull through in one piece, Dale. If your in the market for a new ladder, take a look at the Little Giant. A much safer option if you’re working on one by yourself. I’m always grateful to be able to watch your videos, and look forward to your next one.
You are truly lucky Dale. I am happy you are fine. I fell off my ladder trimming hedges 3 years ago and broke 2 ribs, so it could have been a lot worse. Thank God you are ok. I hate being more than 3 feet off the ground unless I am in a cockpit. I think making your solar panels adjustable is a great idea and should help with the snow accumulation on them. If you have them on a 45-55 degree angle they should be much better at shedding the snow and ice...plus you`ll get more direct sunlight with them angled. Feel better and enjoy the meds :)
That is freaky scary. I had a very similar situation when I was at my cabin a few years back. It’s always the risk you take when you are up there working alone. Glad you seem OK. Hang in there and happy Thanksgiving.
Dale, Good to hear that youre not hurt. Ive had a couple falls out here but wasnt hurt thankfully. I know that fear when its over. I saw the way you lined up the plate on the 2x4.... Lovin the channel. BigT,Alaska
Glad you are ok! You are very lucky indeed. Thanks for keeping it real. We all have mishaps from time to time. That old ladder looked like a sketchy design. Please get yourself a better ladder for the future.
So sorry you had this accident.. you slow down and get better soon.. careful we are we still get hurt 😞 take care of yourself.. we enjoy your videos.. so glad you went and got checked out.. please take it easy
Sir Dale, I 'm so glad that your injuries were minimal. And that they were not any more serious. I know you took quite a jolt! I'd get me another ladder. I don't trust that one. And, yes, you had it at a extreme angle. Praying for a speedy and full recovery. Blessings!
Wow Your lucky Bud, I've had a few bad situations at my remote cabin over the years , you can never be to careful, You should always have spare beer on hand or a tasty beverage of choice ! LOL But seriously, I had a bad atv accident while on a trip to my cabin and fractured my back in 8 places, was very thankful my buddies were with me. Slow and steady really is the best advice . Glad your ok , hope your bruises heal quickly .
Hi Dale, I'm glad you are ok. You were smart to get yourself checked at the doctor. A few years ago at work, before I retired, I contractor was climbing a ladder and it broke when he was about 10 feet up it. He fell straight down and fractured his ankle. I really try to be aware of safety when I am alone at my cabin. I have missed a rung on a ladder a few times but I was able to catch myself. I am super careful with the chainsaw - I always wear chaps, gloves, hearing and eye protection, and focus on what I am doing. Sometimes you do everything right, like in your case and the equipment decides to fail. I drained the water out of my cabin last week for winter. Have a nice Thanksgiving! - Dave
Glad you didn't get hurt worse dale. I feel your pain. Thirty years ago or so I had a ladder slde out on frozen ground and down I went. Broke one wrist in six places.screwed together
Wow Dale, glad You are ok. Ladders are evil. I had one come out from under Me 24 years ago. Broke My shoulder and it still gives Me trouble to this day.
Dale, glad it wasn’t any worse… I was on the job and had a wooden ladder rung break as I was at the roof line… I grabbed a rung and messed my shoulder up as I was falling . It happens so quick. Hope you are one mend.
SHIT DALE that could've been bad! Glad to see you are okay. We don't bounce like we did in our younger years! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🍻
Please wait until there is no snow on the ground when that new ladder comes in . Glad that you didn't break yourself on that fall . You be careful out there now . I'm on my third month of Physical Therapy after a successful rotator cuff surgery . ( I stepped on the dang cat in the dark , she went one way , and I went down hard ! ) Dinner looked yummy as always . Stay safe , and Happy Turkey Day . 🍺🍺
Oh my goodness Dale, I hope you feel better soon and thank God you didn't do worse injuries to yourself. That tenderloin sure looks good. Please takecare ya. 👍
That sucks. Glade it wasn’t worse off. Once you get to a certain age you need to be more careful cause we can’t walk it off like we use to. Have a happy thanksgiving.
Glad your ok im always sketching on ladders! When I was building my cabin or anything I try and always strap the bottom rug to something so can’t kick out
Glad you're ok! Scary when things go sideways. Maybe you should get some ground mounts for those panels! Then you wouldn't need to be up there! I'm still in hunting mode. Had a good bird season so far (not like last year, but not terrible). Not up in NMW anymore... prowling around Stud Mill Rd now. Got my buck at the farm in Vassalboro (150 lbs 5 pt) and working to fill the doe tag. Best of luck on getting your deer!
ok, I asked in another post how your bird hunting was going - now I know. I don't think I would be able to fire a rifle or shotgun right now. I think I'm out of commission for a bit. lol. 🍺
@@NB88 I'm off about 100 Grouse from last year... So almost 300 flushes so far. I hunt hard opening day until the opening day of deer... And walk a ton. Almost 260 miles so far.
Also from NH, the same thing happened to me a few years ago while cleaning snow off. About the same height and same type of ladder but my security camera caught it and the feet of the ladder just slid out. I had a clean concrete pad at my porch roof like you and like you, no crazy pitch and my ladder was bent just like yours. I use ladders with the claws for traction. Not doing that again!! Keep strong and stay safe
Watch out for those ladders. The same thing happened to me a couple years back, but I ended up with a badly sprained ankle and a dislocated left ring finger (which isn't good since I'm left-handed). My ladder did buckle 'cause I had it on too great of an angle (Painful lesson learned)....Hope you're feeling better and Happy Thanksgiving!
The same thing happen to me back in Dec 2017, about the same as you, but my ladder slid back on icy ground as soon as I got on it from the roof, I landed on the ladder just you did. I hurt my back so bad that it took 3 weeks with some help from chiropractor just to start feeling better, 6 months before pain was completely gone. But the first 3 weeks was wow, when I tried to get out of bed I'd drop to my knees the pain was so bad.... ((((For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.))))
Geez Dale! I’m glad you’re doing okay. That was scary. I like an action packed video as much as the next person, but try not to do that again. I hope to see you in another video soon.
We could have done with out the re enactment. It hurt just watching you do it! Note to self: Liquid anesthesia like whiskey scotch rye or vodka, should always be on hand in the cabin. It doesn't freeze like P B R would when you're not there! Feel better!
Man, glad you are ok! That could have been way worse. I am not afraid of heights, but I am always paranoid about ladders and often wonder how strong some of the chinese made things are. This will make me pay even more attention. You cooked that pork perfect!
About 15 years ago, a celebrity where I live was up a ladder doing some maintenance and fell off but hurt himself very badly. It was an eye opener as far as home safety goes because the hospital he was admitted to said that they get 10-15 such accidents every weekend. At work, we have magnetic attachments for securing ladders to the roof. We also have sturdy locking ladders for safe working at heights. Good you are up ‘n about. Keep well now.
Hope you continue to improve. Be sure to have yourself re-checked if anything lingers. They can miss things the first time. Panels might be best on the ground in/on a frame, maybe adjustment frame. Buffalo just had record snow fall. On the ground would be easier to keep up with larger amounts of snow.

Good thing you work out.
All that muscle comes in handy when you take a hit like that.
Motto to this story;
*Don’t get old, it’s a trap*
Jesus man glad you are OK hope you feel better soon
Glad your ok. I foot the ladder with my ATV , when I’m solo I’m always worried about a slide out.
stick to the ground and a long broom ;-)
Glad your okay Dale. Having worked on ladders most of my life I have to remind myself at 76 I'm not that guy anymore. Stay safe Bro !!!!
Same with me, I’m 70 years old & don’t like ladders anymore!
Thanks Stan. 🍺
So glad you’re okay. I say a little prayer every time I’m working on my property with power tools, ladders or anything that that can ruin my day. Prayers for you buddy.
Be safe out there man. when you're out there alone, safety has to be the first priority. so glad you're okay.
Hope you get feeling better soon my friend. Please take care and be safe out there.
Glad you're OK. Stuff happens. It seams that the older we get, the more things hurt.
Hi Dale...we all hope you are OK brother!....Take care and get well!...Stay safe and be safe!

I'm glad that you're alright after the fall, stay safe.
Holy hell ,Dale so happy your still walking around..that could have been a lot worse..prayers you get passed this accident..soon 🙏🙏👍👍
Sorry about the painful fall. Hope you will feel a lot better soon. This Thanksgiving we will all be thankful that you are on the mend.

Glad you’re still with us Dale. Looked like a rough fall. And worst of all no cold beer to complement your meal, what a horrible day!!🍺🍺
Glad you're doing okay Dale! Yep we stay pretty sore after that kind of thing. Oh hope you were able to get the pbr. Good pain medicine. Take care.
Hey Dale, Glad the fall wasn’t any worse! Hoping you feel better fast. Take care and stay safe!!

Hope you continue to improve. Be sure to have yourself re-checked if anything lingers. They can miss things the first time.
Panels might be best on the ground in/on a frame, maybe adjustment frame. Buffalo just had record snow fall. On the ground would be easier to keep up with larger amounts of snow.
