    Hiring a climber/ employee from out of area

    Overuse Injuries

    My knees have been giving me issues, so I worked out that dragging heavy loads of brash to the chipper is the cause. So I don’t do that anymore. I never found any aspect of climbing gave any issues. It’s always been ground work that gives me problems.

    Dealing with different types of people in business

    If you’re busy its easy to get rid of clients you hate, in fact it’s a pleasure. If you’re not (and I’m not fighting them off with a shitty stick atm) you have to swallow it.

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    So you can use 1 GRCS to tighten up a rope, put it on a POW, then just move the GRCS to another tree and do it again ad infinitum? Hadn’t thought of that.

    Need scheduling verbiage

    If I can do it when they want, so they can be there, I will. If I can’t, I won’t. I can’t understand the conundrum tbh.

    Terms unique to arboriculture

    Ok, if you’re natural crotch rigging ( a term which reeks of hairy vaginas) especially if self lowering, it should be called ‘raw-dogging’ Yes, yes, I know it means unprotected sex, but there’s already the much better term “bareback” for that.
