    Covid got me climben

    Unfortunately my social anxiety leaves me constantly comparing myself to my peers, its not something I have much control over lol But passion is a great thing and very much needed for this line of work because as fun as some of it is, theres a lot of brutal hard work. Puppies help a lot...

    Covid got me climben

    So after months at my new company, Ive only gotten three very small climbs in until this week. One of our main climbers is off because he was around someone that has covid and in his absence, Ive gotten to use his saddle the past two days (mine is still held up, delivery is looking like the...

    Looking for advice on becoming an arborist

    I was concerned about keeping up with the guys labor wise as well and Im not weak or lazy. A good company has the equipment to pretty make heavy lifting not an issue and if you show effort and dedication the guys will be more than happy to help if you do need a hand. The rest is just...

    Winter is coming....

    Has anyone used heated gloves for winter work? If so, which ones? I dont have a lot of body fat keeping me warm in the cold and my fingers get painfully cold pretty quick when temps drop. I can layer up for ground work but Ive been told Ill probably be doing a lot of climbing through winter as...

    Best Tree ID Publications?

    Now that I am doing tree CARE instead of tree removal, I need to start being able to identify the trees and know what their growth will be, what their structure should be. What are the best books for Tree ID?

    Really get after it

    Its definitely a step up but I really wish there was a more structured training plan. I learn from watching and overhearing but I dont get nearly enough hands on practice, or constructive criticism unless I ask and even then the replies I get to questions can be very hollow. There is one dude...

    Really get after it

    I think it depends on the hub. Seems like our DM really does care that we all get home safe each day. And the guys take most of it pretty seriously. But every company has a couple shit shows lol

    Really get after it

    Well to be honest no one follows the two hand rule unless the DM or safety guy are on site. Snap cuts are super useful for certain things but a person could go insane doing them for every branch. Im glad I took the leap, even if the feeling of being the weakest link is agonizing. My nerves get...

    Really get after it

    Like not being allowed to say “crotch”? Its a BRANCH UNION! Lol Ive never heard anything about the ladders, thats pretty ridiculous. I dig most of the safety standards but sometimes its just silliness. Like I cant climb into a tree without a harness but I can stand on a roof and reach out with...
