Ongoing self doubt/fear
I’ve looked into cbd and similar alternatives in the past. I did used to enjoy smoking but my current situation does not allow it. Today I did a massive maple take down almost completely solo. Had some help from the homeowners truck to inspire some lean for the last stem. No fear, no doubt...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
Again, I am so appreciative of all of the responses and support. After talking to the wife about everything going on and getting advice from everyone I am going to look into other companies that aren’t always rushing and keep safety as a priority. Also keep working at cutting down caffeine and...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
I really appreciate all of the input. Thank you everyone. I buy brand new gear on everything I consider life support. I have been gifted new pads for my spurs but they are solid even. I am very particular about my gear and how it’s stored to try to fight the anxiety as well. When it comes to...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
I really feel this is going to be something I’ll have to push through to find solutions I can handle on my own or through the help of the forums or a professional. The other climbers I deal with through work are very negative and try to tear you down before they offer any advice. I’ve wondered...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
I really appreciate all of you. So much support that I really was not expecting. I’m going to search through the threads and look into talking to someone about coping strategies if I still struggle. Usually we only have one climber on each job so when I run into these problems I’m alone on...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
Thank you for the response. I deal with anxiety also but it’s crazy how bad it can get some days. And the other climbers at work act like this is something that doesn’t happen to anyone. I try to push through the best I can because I obviously have to get the job done but I have had days so bad...- Nkymatt

Ongoing self doubt/fear
I have been climbing trees for work for almost 2 and a half years. I have much more experience than that with rock climbing. I early on in work climbing I felt lots of doubt and fear of tree or equipment failure. I’ve studied tree equipment and break tests and all kinds of different things to...- Nkymatt

Husky 257 won’t idle
Thank you for the advice. I got this saw for a good price so it wouldn’t hurt me to use it to learn on. I’ll get the tools together to start on it and see what I can find. I emptied the tank when I bought it and used fresh gas and oil which I know is good from my other saws. I checked the plug...- Nkymatt

Husky 257 won’t idle
Just bought a husqvarna 257. Obviously a older saw but it cuts great and starts easy once its warm. Took it out for a day at work with a new full chisel chain and it cut through 12-18inch diameter logs no problem. Only issue I’m having is that it dies right after the cut. Doesn’t want to idle...- Nkymatt

Tree Company Owners that aren't tree guys...
I had a similar situation with this from a guy who bought a franchise and bought all the nice new equipment but had no understanding of how anything worked, he just knew about restaurant franchises and how that works. He hired “experienced” guys to train other guys he would bring on that also...- Nkymatt

Want to buy new spur pads
I’m going to take Rico up on his offer. Been wanting to get the caddy pads but they have been out of the budget. Thank you all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
