    Are you connected to the The Archdruid? Hope you don't have to live with him/her/whatever The Archdruid is.

    And the cherry on top was I scored a drunk fired competitors newish bull rope and bag. And his money from his screwed up job. Pretty good day and it's not over yet. I don't feel bad he's the beat any quote by 25% guy.

    OK read the other post more motivation and good info thanks again. I'd love to be the lead climber/trainer/sales guy but... I don't do well with work place politics. I love where I live and that's a long way from anybodies base and if any of these guys were like Aspen, Heartwood, Limbwalker...

    I haven't read the last couple posts as I want to say what the heck was I worried about. Got my tooth fixed yesterday and had a blast joking with the best dentist ever and I suddenly have a couple of surplus thousands as the cheques rolled in today with one day to spare before the hammer came...

    My take on one handing in the tree is the same as bucking standing on one foot off balance. Sometimes it's got to be done but it's very little effort and time more to do it safer and more comfortably. There's been a rash of it by videographers, I'd put it in the hotdogging catagory. Or...

    Looks like you got your own problems yet to be addressed. I'm sure we'd have a good old time if we got to work or even play together. I'll take a pass on that though til you grow up.

    Paranoia that's half my problem. What flipped me at jail work was an ex-girlfriend co-worker and a series of setups that could of got me killed. I'm kinda over touchy myself. Shake a paw.

    No man. You'd like me more if I did. I can't believe you've turned this fun video into a negative. Maybe I don't care if you like me. Too bad I'm OK. Here we go again. But, but, he started it. Hey I got nothing against you just have to defend myself. Am I posting too much here? Is that the...

    I'd like a few custom disclaimers on the contract too. I get their address and have invoices in the truck. Thing is my info has been put in a selection of five different notebooks in no particular order. Something else to improve for this season. I say that every year. Argh.

    Lightning? I got that off facebook. From an Estonian Arborist page called Arborsite Koda. I've become fascinated with Estonia through that.

    A lot of them inherited those properties. Now they're turning them into the family castle that sits empty. They have to call all the cousins to collect $50 from each one to pay my bill. Even the staff at a tree company thinks the grass looks greener at the top. I'd have more surplus money with...

    I just want to climb and top down trees. If there was pruning I'd be right into that too. Everything you say is good advice and I will try and incorporate all of it. No choice. If you've read my tree skills comments I'm totally into it. The business is just a tool to allow me to do it. I'd do it...

    Zactly. I'm pumping out more volume than I thought I would. You know it's really the big wheel contractors that don't pay. They get all jumpy to get the work done the next day and grimmace at the lower rate I give them. That party's over. They can have their fun with the next schmoe or pay my...

    Ground crew suffering with neck problems?

    It is hard on them looking up for sure. Maybe a Lazyboy recliner would help. You never know those glasses might get used. I think our work would need a bigger field of view than a belayer focusing on a climber. We need eyes in the back of our heads almost.

    My eyes bugged out when I saw one of these flying down the highway. They go 80kph/50mph. Could put it to work pulling a large trailer with a grapple/bucket combo around here anyway. Need a big storm to get away with it in the city. Maybe good for utility work...

    Thanks man. I really focus on the work and I'm not looking to become a multinational. I did witness many good leaders in the most difficult situation while working in corrections. Nothing like holding someone against their will and getting eight hours a day of hard physical work out of them for...

    I have limitations unfortunately. Something to do with PTSD which we get from keeping you good people sleeping safe and sound at night. They come from everywhere even Europe. I think they've spent all their money on expensive toys and shiny things. They're probably poorer than me. I get their...

    That's what I heard too. The creators must know something about tree work to make that.
