Willi has food and water, however he eats sparingly to avoid having a bowel movement. A rope dangles down, which is tied to a backpack, so he can get supplies from family and friends. The town supports him, and many friends and family continually stop by. Passersby will honk occassionally or drive up and park for awhile.
At night, he ties himself to his chair to sleep. All his movements must be very slow and carefully balanced. When it rains it gets very slippery on his full metal platform. Infront of the tree is a large cliff drop off with large boulders everywhere. If he fell, he would probably die very painfully.
Willi isn't happy to be up there, but he is very determined. The moment WCB will give him his settlement, he'll come down and resume his life. It's a pretty sad day when a 63 year old man has to publically protest and draw attention to himself simply because the Workman's Compensation Board refuses to pay what is rightfully owed to him.
