ladder right here to do the softet on there. And I was up there and kind of got my adrenaline going a little bit. the ladder started sliding. So, I took a concrete spike, put it in the ground with a sledgehammer to keep it from sliding. That way, I don't end up face first in the dirt. And I know I've I've seen guys take their five in one like this. And they'll just take the five in one and jam it in the ground. I wouldn't trust the five in one.
