    Ground Man article

    Re: Ground Worker article There is nothing wrong with wearing some speedstick and the notion that borrowing money is wrong is not something to put into a manual directed to a core of workers aspiring towards the position. Kind of implies they're not going to make shat, so why even bother?

    Ground Man article

    Ground Man article

    Re: Ground Worker article You're right, I do have an ego, and confidence to boot and will back it up anytime, anyplace. Once again, I understand what you describe above, it is not a foreign concept to me on the climber/groundworker relation. If it was foreign I probably would have been gone...

    broke my first rope

    Ground Man article

    That article "how to become an excellent groundman" is unbelievably insane. You show me a company, let alone an industry, that gives a about a worker like the "tree working groundman" and just maybe all you big headed climbers can muster up some egotistical inane...

    Nasty spruce

    Uhhh, maybe I came off a little amateur or you didn't understand my post. I am a top climber with a residential outfit currently. I do not need to hone my skills on the "finer art" of residential tree work. I've been working with trees for fourteen years and I have come to realize that...

    Nasty spruce

    I am a residential tree worker. I worked line clearance with Asplundh for six months and regretably quit. However at the time, I quit for a number of reasons. The pay wasn't very good, my foreman was a racist prick and the opportunity for overtime was nonexistent. I have been working with a...
