    Looking to start a career in tree work

    I’m gonna try to get a polo for the interview but khakis are out of the budget. I have enough for gas for the first week and the polo shirt, but I had a couple of annual bills that were on automatic payments I didn’t realize were coming out of my account to the tune of a few hundred dollars haha...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    What’s standard wear for an interview in this industry? Nice jeans and a plain black or white tshirt? I don’t want to under-dress but I also don’t want to overdress. It’d be like that scene in step brothers where they wear tuxedos to the interview at the convenience store

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    I’d be more than willing to drive to Wilmington for the opportunity to learn from a reputable company. I do understand that having no industry experience would limit wages. As long as I’m 15 or above starting out with opportunities to advance at a reasonable pace as I prove myself, I’d be quite...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    This is so much tougher than it looks. Even in the companies with good reviews, I’ll look through customer photos on Google and no one is wearing hard hats, safety colors, and all the equipment is in rough shape; like the rusted up chipper that appeared to be strapped to a trailer that had a...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    If I really had friends in the area, I’d absolutely give that a shot! It’s a really good idea and a way to weed out some of the companies before I start wasting gas driving around to check out their operations. Unfortunately I haven’t had much of a social life since I moved here. My last job I...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    This is all outstanding guidance! Monday morning I’ll make a few calls and see if I can’t shake an interview or two loose. I’ll keep everyone posted and hopefully be off on the first step in this journey

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    I’ve actually been checking exactly that. Between the websites and customer reviews on Google I’ve been able to rule a few out. It seems the ones that have caught my attention in the best way are about 40 minutes from my house which isn’t a terrible drive if the opportunities are present to...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    Thank you Rico! Which brings the next question, what should I be looking for from a potential employer? Are there things I should be asking if I get interviews? What about red flags or things to be concerned about? I know with proper guidance that I can and will be an effective and worthwhile...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    Thank you for the link! As soon as I’ve read the first book, I’ll be purchasing the pdf to start reading!! That is far more affordable for someone on a tight budget. In the future I’m sure I’ll end up with a paper copy, right now that’s kinda out of the question though

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    I’m absolutely all for education, but it’ll be a bit before I can get a $600 book. I did go ahead and order “a tree climbers companion” though. I saved Jerry’s book to my wishlist for the day when I can afford it. Based on the reviews I’m sure it’s worth every penny. Thank you for the...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    Thanks guys! I’ll absolutely call a few companies and ask around. Being on time and reliable isn’t an issue. I’m up around 4:30 most mornings and at my last job I wasn’t late a single time the whole time I worked there and never missed a day. I’m motivated and am always willing to work hard; I...

    Looking to start a career in tree work

    Hey guys, I haven’t posted a ton but I’ve been here for a few years (I think ). In February I left my job at the beach managing an hvac warehouse and to make ends meet have been doing handyman work since. I’ve decided it’s time to see if my love of climbing would translate to a love of a career...

    Sequoia or Treemotion OG saddle?

    I’ve only owned my Sequoia SRT but I had a buddy who had a treemotion harness (can’t recall which one) who has also used my harness and he preferred the treemotion. I’ve never found a dislike with my saddle so I’ve not tried any others besides an old weaver which I didn’t care for. It’s worth...

    Noob questions

    I was pondering about a double bridge for the sake of easily trying different lengths haha but I see a lot of other benefits to them as well. I just don’t want to go too crazy until I start climbing for work and can have a better understanding of what I actually want to accomplish certain...

    Noob questions

    The axe question was regarding ground work for larger limbs with smaller limbs that have been dropped but need processed further before being chipped or otherwise removed from the drop zone. I do love a good handsaw, and have been eyeballing the silky zubat (I wouldn’t say no to a katana boy on...

    Do you use a rope wrench? I ask because I don’t have a reference for which orientation would be more comfortable in use

    it’s actually a reference to my left arm that stopped growing after a trampoline accident when I was 11 lmao. My friends affectionately told me I had a baby arm and it stuck haha even my motorcycle has the personalized plate bbarm. Oh uhh I mean it’s like a dang beef bus. Definitely not about my...
