    Helmets - Pfanner vs. Kask

    The kask helmet I used was nice, but non of the components were replaceable…. Had the back band toggle thingy break (in my hands) during cold weather event, couldn’t replace it…. Whole thing had to go in the trash which seems really wasteful to me. Went protos and never looked back. Having the...

    @ATH I don’t know what they’re farming in your zone, but I’d be trying to pick up some farm hands looking to make extra money, or build a career beyond the farming. Farmer strength is about the only comparable to tree person strength I’ve found. Well, I did have a old stone mason working for me...

    Something I struggle with… I like to think of myself as an honest guy, who places high value on other people’s time and energy. It doesn’t feel right to me to pay someone “just enough” to get by.

    @ATH resort skiing anymore is a complete rip off, and the vibe has been eroded by overcrowding of entitled assholery… The people that still get after it (the type I’d want to recruit) you’d have a hell of a time convincing them to leave the mountains, and the lifestyle for the Midwest. I mean...

    My help makes considerably more than I pay myself currently. There is a bit of illusion in that though as I am paying myself very frugally while scaling the operation…..

    $20k chipper and chip truck eh? I think I’ll spare what’s left of my sanity….. I am at this crossroads currently, the next step for me is a big one, the acquisition of chipper and chip truck is not cheap at all, and I HATE debt (huge thing holding me back I know). Back to the topic of the...

    @Matias yes I agree, to a degree….. With only $17k total invested, yes you can make money (you clearly have) but, I’m sure there has been/still is some limiting factors hindering potential production/growth, and the capacity to take on certain jobs. When I say “barrier to entry” in the context...

    Low overhead? I think this industry has a very high overhead/barrier to entry compared to most.

    The people who voted for that, still stand behind that, and will ride that wave literally until the very end, those are the ones with the real TDS. You’d have to be deranged in my book. Fox Delta Tango-

    Do you think this year has been different for business?

    Man, that’s just part of the game we play. Shit like that used to bother me, you just can’t let it. Theres so many sides to that coin….. I’m not always convinced the jobs go to the fastest, or the cheapest bidder either. I feel many clients hire based off the energy you give off. At least that’s...

    The Art and Science of Practical Rigging VHS Box Set!

    Maybe they could be a traveling library/share, obviously for those interested with VHS capabilities….? Pay for shipping, view them, post up for the next person….. The Jerry Beranek series was pretty awesome, and still relevant when I watched them a few years back. I’m sure even a seasoned vet...

    Do you think this year has been different for business?

    I’m just padding the accounts. This time of the year gets tricky, gotta figure out what to buy, and how much to spend to shelter it from taxes…. Last year was the ctx 100, not sure how much I’ll need to spend, or what I’ll acquire this year.
