    Climber looking for work in Asheville, NC area

    Ya, I figure I'll work a little longer to give him time to see my performance. Lately he hasn't been on the jobs. Now that I'm here, he can run 2 crews or one bigger crew. Then I'll bring up the reasons why I'm valuable and request a significant raise. It's hard being on the job and thinking of...

    My first day I climbed 5 or 6 white oaks to prune and deadwood, and a big sycamore, then helped cleanup. Another climber did one or two, the other climber did the same and we had another guy in a bucket do a couple. You know what the work consists of and the difficulty. It varies depending on...

    Ya man, those are some of my favorite trees to climb in Hawaii. I was wondering what the level of diversity is here. I see such a variety of species whenever I go on even a short drive around Asheville. Haha, really? Not a lot of people can handle hard work can they? I didn't even consider...

    I've wanted to work in the trees out west, but didn't want to move to Cali, or a super rainy state. Oregon and Washington are so insanely gorgeous and I've spent a lot of time over there. Though, the weather being so rainy in the winter, and the fires smoking up the place in the summer, plus...

    Thanks! Highest cost of living in the country, no seasons, hard to get stuff shipped, no good Stihl techs, no good automotive shops, lack of work ethic... many reasons why I left. Also so many reasons why I love Hawaii. I already miss freediving in the ocean. Who knows, I may find myself living...

    I've definitely noticed how so many guys will claim they are experienced, but are from from even being a tree guy. Thank you for the great advice! I'll have to make some changes to my resume, and include specific tasks that I'm experienced in. Such as swapping knives, anvil clearance, ditch...

    Right on, I figured as much. Maui is filled with those rich boomers, but luckily they are willing to pay. I understand having to build trust. Maybe I'll suck it up and start at a low wage and see where it takes me.. Haha super saiyan mode is always on when I'm at work. I love this industry...

    Just moved to Asheville from Maui, where I was a full time climber. Have experience pruning, removals, felling, little crane work, operating equipment (Ditchwitch, chippers, stump grinders, manlifts..etc.) I have over 5 years of experience. No CDL yet, and I'm going to take the ISA exam here...
