Everyday I see these markers on the power lines and never once thought, who changes them? Now we know.

      Why they gotta change em? Not tryin to be a jackass i just dont see why you’d need new big orange balls.i always assumed they were just markers of some sort.

    2. Are they doing this in the snow? Looks like snowflakes going across the camera.

      Either way, the biggest balls in that video weren’t the orange ones being installed.

      How does the chopper lift the marker, rigging, the dude’s and their massive scrot’s all in one shot???

    4. Holy crap. I wish I knew about this job when I was younger. That is cool as hell and I bet the pay is fantastic, just like the view!

    5. But! Where’s the AI voiceover and dubstep remix? How am I supposed to understand what’s going on?

    6. Everyone else is like “nope nope nope” and I’m wondering where I can fill out an application.

      Open air ride above an enormous, dense green evergreen forest, in nice warm jackets with the cold air in your face? That doesn’t sound awesome to anyone else?

      *Every day. If you see them every day, it’s an everyday occurrence. You wouldn’t say you see them “everyweek”, right?

      I was once told by an ex girlfriend that these were full of peanut butter, and that was told to her by her father. She thought it was funny to tell me because every time after that I see them I’ll think of them full of peanut butter and think of her. Now all you reading this will think that upon seeing them and think of me.

    9. It’s interesting as fuck to me how many people use that word incorrectly.

      Everyday means ordinary.
      Every day means each day.

      Not trying to be a dick but it’s so common lately, I even see it misused in ads and business websites.

      If you’ve never seen helicopter logging, you should. Some of the craziest shit you will ever see.

    11. They are called Tana Wire Markers. Originally named after the inventor’s wife.

      They were invented because someone close to him died in an aviation accident because they couldn’t see the electrical lines.
