    I honestly like the ground work and part of what sucks about booming is the lack of exercise Im getting- I should look like Im carved from marble by now and I dont :( But the problem with moonlighting on another crew is that my slave boss doesnt leave me time for that, we do 10-12 M-F and...

    He really enjoys it as well, he has always liked outdoor work. He actually wanted to do tree removal before I went into it but he thought staying at the job he had was important for consistency so it took a whole season of me telling him to just come work with me before he gave in and did it...

    Well my fiance and I are planning to move this october when our lease is up but moving too far away solely for a new job has always seemed very risky to me. What if you hate the company or the crew? And it would be just the one move, I wouldnt travel constantly for work. I did that for machine...

    Im super comfortable with sawing on the ground and I am getting fairly good at understanding what limbs will do and how to keep everything kosher but you’re totally right, my boss had NO BUSINESS putting me in the bucket like he did. Its mostly luck that nothing has gone wrong in the season and...

    Roseville MI. Im pretty comfortable with regular tree climbing, Ive always loved climbing. And Ive been in plenty of trees at work just sawing off a limb or two or putting up a rope for pullover but never with any kind of climbing equipment.

    After reading posts on this site, seeing what most companies are doing, I feel more unprepared to switch companies than ever. We have a mini skid that we barely use even though I get shit DONE with that mofo and mostly just roll with our boom and chip truck. We either boom or do a pullover on...

    Leadership in the Management Team

    Showing appreciation. Nothing demotivates me more than busting my ass and having my boss or super act like I did nothing. I also very much need someone that can teach and explains why shit is what it is. The more I understand the whys and hows, the more I can make educated decisions and helpful...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Much appreciated but Belleville is a 45 min drive from me, probably over an hour in morning traffic. Also currently my fiance and I both work at this company (I convinced him to come work with me because we BADLY needed good workers) and we have to get him another vehicle before I can move on.

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Oh thats definitely not an issue working with me. My foreman was trying to convince me to remove extra limbs because they were “leaning towards the building” and I yelled down “I dont care if they’re leaning over your mom and fucking her in the ass, Im not removing those”. He was laughing too...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    I do make a considerable contribution just by coming up with clever ways to get shit done so its easier for everyone and I definitely do so for myself. And I stay busy, I hate standing around. We had a guy booming and there just wasnt enough brush coming down to keep is all moving so I...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Or having three chippers down because when you tell the owner his shit is malfunctioning, he ignores it until the equipment is toast. Or having to change out chipper blades mid-job, stripped bolts and all because the owner didnt bother. Or telling the owner you need more 36’ chains and having...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Im hoping to after this year. Not many companies want to hire a female so Im trying to get the exp to be a viable hire for a better company. I cant lift logs as big as what the guys lift, so I have to make up for it with skills and rock solid work ethic. Heres hoping

    Rescheduling a Job When Your Head Isn’t in it

    Thanks Im a newb and not a climber but Im hoping to learn some stuff from you pros since the company I work for couldnt teach a dog to lick its own ass. Glad to hear your son pulled through, cant imagine having a child with cancer or how you could function at all with that on your mind. And...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Being thrown into the bucket my first week of tree removal with no exp and proceeding to boom for a whole season with my anxiety levels through the roof before my boss gave me training. Im very new to the industry, this is only my second season and to be hired as a female Ive had to start with a...

    Rescheduling a Job When Your Head Isn’t in it

    I havent yet had a day when I just wasnt feeling it, aside from normal being extra tired. But our boss likes to load us with entirely too much crap in a day and if fatigue and frustration are kicking my ass, I have no problem telling him Im done for the day. NO job is worth dying or...
