    I really do want to hear what people have to say. But with all due respect, you said virtually nothing of any substance (other than citing the 5% stat, which is in no way fact). All that you did was label a bunch of people racist and say that people need to educate themselves. I abhor the knee...

    Youtube, as well as all other news sources need to be taken with a grain of salt, and then properly metabolized before instituting your own measure of critical thinking. There is no substitute for common sense. But to insinuate that you can learn nothing from youtube is naive. It allows people...

    The uneducated lost and racist? Thats tantamount to Hilary calling trump voters deplorables. You should get off your high horse. What an arrogant thing to say. It's amazing how people who choose to be so judgmental of others often times have nothing substantive to say. And if you think that only...

    This is not tree related, but highly relevant to citizens of the world. I will not make a habit of this, and likely not do it again, but I felt the need to share my thoughts about this growing movement that has historical implications. I would love to hear what everyone has to say. I just can't...

    Brand New Unicender

    I bought this Unicender last fall, but it has only been used for one climb. That's all it took for me to realize it wasn't for me. There is nothing wrong with it, it's just not my cup of tea. It has many perks: mid-line attachable, works in SRS, works in MRS, tried and trued tool since 2005. I...

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    I totally hear you, when you’re on a comfortable equilibrium it may feel out of place to push for more. But the thing about tree work is that it is so volatile. One bad move, one terrible accident, one huge breakdown, and you are behind the eight ball, or worse. I believe that’s one reason why...

    That sounds like a really great deal to me. I hope you’re not selling yourself short.

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    Yes the mini is 150 per hour, in addition to the hourly rate assigned to the ground guy. Since my original post our rates of gone up, just like everything else has. We are now 275 an hour as a base price for two guys a truck and a chipper. And it’s $75 per man after that. If it’s two guys a...

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    Can’t say that we haven’t had a blast needling the “cooler” while they were face to face with a client. It’s all in good fun. And you are right, day rates or in my case an hourly rate, is very tempting as a bidder. Especially if you get up to 20 calls a week a lot of times and you look at as...

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    First I will say, since my last post, I have adjusted my hourly rate for just myself to $200 per hour with a $50 moving fee and a one hour minimum. As the price of everything else goes up (fuel,equipment,etc.) so do our rates. But I will say yes to your question. It depends on what type of...

    Hemlock snag...filled with metal

    Not all of us have that luxury, and life is not something you can always plan out. Im curious though Rico, what is it about me that gives you such an axe to grind? Or do you just have one in general? And stop blaming your vehemence on that little bitty rock back of that silly tree, or how...

    Hemlock snag...filled with metal

    I film such a small fraction of what we do. Im not convinced that I act any different on camera than I normally would, maybe...not sure. I'm an aggressive natured person when it comes to work, and you are right, my safety protocols could use some improvement. We have grown so fast as a company...

    Logging the Mini Forest Parts 1 and 2

    This is a 2 part video of a job we completed last week. Due to our skid steer being in the shop on the first day of the project, we were painted into a corner to leave all the logs scattered in the middle. If I had had the vermeer from the beginning we would have stacked the logs as we went...

    Hemlock snag...filled with metal

    I see you two have come to a consensus, well if this thread was good for nothing else, that is definitely a positive :). Daniel, I do take heed to your criticism of the lady on the porch being close enough to the drop zone to be of adequate concern. That was an oversight on my part, and a good...

    Hemlock snag...filled with metal

    You're right Rico, that was disrespectful of me and not a representation of my best self. So for that Phil, I am sorry. When a thread devolves into a sounding board for what I consider to be overzealous , and almost namby-pamby commentary, I cease to endeavor to make "impressive replies," and no...
