@@stargazer7644 This video is a joke. Real lineman are heroes, but they don't look or talk like this. They don't casually walk on-screen in a group when they show up. They don't stand in the middle of the street making a video when they should be opening switches after lines are down on the road. They don't pull out a piece of paper and proclaim "It shows here that IM IN CHARGE". This isn't 1980, the information about an outage (which they all have since they showed up in the right place) doesn't come on a piece of paper. They have a sense of urgency and if they're just arriving on site they're looking up at the problem and the work they need to start preparing for (while discussing it), they're getting on their radio getting work authorization, parts, additional resources and help, and they're assessing risks to safety and property, as well as assessing other damage. They don't stand there like minions awaiting commands from a dweeb with a god complex that has to tell them "it's overhead".

I’m a labor in facility maintenance department at a company. A lot of the safety stuff is CYA. Cause we’re open to the public when we work, you never know when the insurance or powers that be are watching. After being a private investigators assistant, we’d get calls all the time to check if company’s have traffic cones, safty vests, caution tape and such out while working. My boss hated doing these jobs and would charge crazy amounts just to try to avoid them. The companies that hired us ended up not caring about the price and would send us to places to see if safety were being followed.

Linemen used to be rough guys. Pull everything with ropes. Nowadays linework is like navy seals. It isn't too hard and every big kid wants to do it. I climbed with no buck squeeze and let me tell you when you're 90 foot up, looking down with 2 spikes 1/4 inch in the pole, you lose it for a moment. One slip you're done. I slipped coming down and not falling is the only fucking thing God has done for me. I slipped on a step down and one knee jammed into my chest. Those bucksqueezes save lives, but allow some pussies to be linemen. Alot of guys wouldn't do it without bucksqueezes. I'm all for them though. A safety measure to save someone from lifelong impairment is a good thing. I think they waited so long to make them because linework was "mans" work. It's kinda like tight rope walking. Everyone'll do it if there's a safety to keep you from falling. Nobody will do it, very few, if there's no safety.

Most other areas, the crews take a look at what is needed to safely restore power. They notify the operations center and then do the work. They notify the operations center when the power is back on. They make notes and sketches of any changes that were done and provide the notes to the records department for updating the records of any changes. This guy is doing an over-production on what needs to be done and how long it takes to do the restoration. I would have three areas restored by the time this guy does one area. If this guy worked up in Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine where the temperature in the winter time is often at or below -20 degrees, he would learn to work a little more productively and do less talking.

I am not a lineman but I been in the corporate workforce long enough to get the feeling this guy is just a boss and really does not have a clue what they are doing. Matter a fact I bet he is a college boy and the closest he had ever been in a bucket was when his mommy gave him a bath.😀

He could not be in the position he is in unless he had already worked as a lineman.

@@MrPatt1983 That would probably describe you. I worked my way through college as a lineman. Depending on the number of outages that guy could be a lead lineman on a job one day and up on the pole with gaffs the next. Also as a supervisor/foreman to inspect a job lineman did you have to go where the lineman was. Up a pole or down in the hole. When I graduated and worked my way to become a field engineer, on rare occasion, you where up the pole or down the hole as well. If this was the military and you saw his ribbons and badges you would know he’s worked his way up doing the job. Yes a little politics is in everything, but he’s no poser.

You can usually just wear rubber gloves and rubber boots and safely solder two downed wires together to restore electricity more quickly. The electrical company will probably come along later and do their own more durable fix, but if you don't want to wait for them, it's easy to do on your own. Just always remember to wear gloves and ground yourself by attaching metal spikes to the bottom of your footwear and stand on soft dirt or grass (no crushed rock, it can permanently reduce the voltage which leads to costly replacements).

Your an idiot. No one should be touching any lines or doing any repairs. Even a trained professional shouldn’t be touching or repairing any lines without consent.

@@LawFarin I agree you should totally get consent beforehand, but anyone can fix a downed power line, it's easy. There used to be a lot of tutorial videos of how to do it on youtube but they all got taken down for copyright claim because they were playing Puddle of Mudddddddd in the background, which is the best and most badass music to listen to while handling live wires.

Where else do you keep your lockout key, aren't they required to be on your person so it can't be re-energized while you're working?

I have never seen a lineman climb. And judging from the ages of some of the seasoned lineman, they are not required to climb. That’s for the younger guys.

They are still using wood poles. My country already replaced them with concrete ones which are much much stronger.
