    Arborist/ Climber job listing details--- your thoughts

    I found a purpose and a direction finally. Now I can articulate my ideas cleanly because I know what my end result is. As a younger lad I was just trying to survive, and unfortunately many aspects of my life showed that. It's hard to have a sense of place when you're homeless, starving, and...

    Bucket Truck Boom Failure

    Straight up. There's a dozen of us on here that wouldn't not put you in fucked up positions like that, contract climber or not. I've been there, to a degree, but a big part of being your own boss is having the faith to choose what is better, and make room for that better by refusing what doesn't...

    Bucket Truck Boom Failure

    I have fear for your life and would prefer it if you came back alive. Same with your friend. We loose too many good people to preventable issues. What is preventing maintenance and inspection on the lift? Are there quality rentals that could replace it in the interim while you fix/search for a...

    Arborist/ Climber job listing details--- your thoughts

    It's really difficult. I've set minimum standards and have been working on developing real "buckets" for employees to land in. New, very green people start at groundman 1, a 4 step process to "journeyman" with coursework, training, pay scales, etc. A good groundie is worth their weight in...

    I was pretty green, groundie on a pseudo logging job on the South Hill. A bunch of pondo pine down a cliff side with a terrible drag to the chipper. We were rigging the trees out, sending pieces up another spar, then zipping them to the landing to then get dragged out. The poor climber had...

    Lightning kills line clearance worker

    Wow, that's brutal. Good to know tbh. I am fairly new to this region and am not used to the storm systems. When accidents are truly accidents it does bring some relief, but that's still horrible.

    His own people had to rescue him. Tragic. If weather was moving through why chance it? I'd love to know the full report.

    Our intern Emma got some hang time today. First time having her off the ground. She did both moving rope and singled rope. Too bad college is taking her for the next 4 years, she's been an awesome hand.
