    Because if you knew what it was you would realize that it doesn’t sacrifice strength training. You can lift whatever weight you can handle. But your condition will dictate how much your body can handle. The better your condition the more weight you can train with.

    Yep, but a change of work now and then is also good for your perspective. It’s also reassuring you that you aren’t just a tree guy, you can make it doing whatever brings you happiness and of course an income.

    Strength is great and all, but endurance and flexibility is better for tree work. PHA training hits all the right buttons. If you guys are already doing weights, you have more than you need in equipment. All you need is to do your weight lifting in reps with a short rest period in a continuous...

    I kinda like my area because the snow shuts me down for 3-4 months every year. In the past I have worked my winters on oil rigs as a roughneck or doing construction with some of the contractors that I felled trees for during the season. It gives me a break from the normal grind and allows me to...

    So the math is simple... 20 bucks an hour Canadian is roughly 15 an hour Yankee! Then you have deductions. Unemployment insurance, medical, social security in the US and Canada Pension Plan contributions. The US has expensive health care.

    This tree is overtaking the neighbors yard and needs major surgery? It’s beautiful in its current state but nobody cared for it.

    Same, I just don’t like line work. The money is steady but I prefer not being tied down to a contract with the utility here.

    Certified Arbs are 35 to 38 an hour here. Honestly, if a guy is a good climber/ rigger it pays way better to be a solo artist. But you gotta get rep first before guys will consistently hire you. The obvious better choice for respectable pay is running yer own show!

    My starting wage for a rake operator is 20 bucks an hour? Is the USA that messed up? You guys sound like you can barely by toilet paper as a tree worker?

    There is a few Ut Arbs here that fell trees near transmission lines though! And a crew that does rig and pulls almost exclusively. Remember we are low population here so very often property is not developed so trees that are dead, dying or diseased or simply too close to power can be choked and...
