I want my pears!

Pardon the terrible 5-minute crafts like video....

I would do this with a VERY long pole, and an A-frame step ladder. It'll be effort but probably work.

Yes, that was a terrible video! But awesome idea! I've never bought the 20 or 30 dollar picker , just because.
I think we'd have to make this over and over, but that's doable. I'm going to try

I feel like there's gotta be a way to make a poker rather than ladders on the unlevel ground. I live alone if I go down no one will no till I don't show up for work sun night

I wanna check out the ladder build anyway cause could use extra ladder any way

You could check in with somebody by phone. "Im going to work in the fruit trees out back on a ladder. I'll call you when I'm done. If you don't hear from me in 2 hours, something's wrong. Call me, and come check on me if you can't get through. " then call and set a new time when you go in for a bathroom break or for some water.
That way you can work but you don't have to lay out there with a broken whatever for more than an hour or 2.

I do this when i go walk in the woods, or when i get cut and feel faint and like i might throw up, etc. I just say, "hey, mom. I'm in the kitchen at home. I cut my hand and feel gross so call me in 10 minutes and make sure i'm ok. I think it's ok." And then in 5 minutes, the cut's taken care of and i feel ok and i call her.

This is wonderful. I ride horses, often alone, and can relate. Especially if I'm working with my 3 year old.

you know I should've thought of that. I recently working on my chicken run and not having any helped had a 2 x 4 fall on the back of my head and I reached out to a coworker and told him to try to contact me in about 30 minutes. I was ok when he called. Turned out mild concussion. Maybe contacting before will help

Was able to stabilize a frame ladder but couldn't get to many still. Later I realized that it gets me to certain climbable branches. By the time I realized that I had a glass of wine so didn't attempt yet. Got these at least help figure out what type

This actually has been quite informative because I'm getting not only ideas to get them but some pear knowledge.... I love BYC
