I love groundies!

Just kidding they're a drag.

They drag my mess all day I miss them when they're gone

They're the shoulders that climbers, sales and management stand on in any successful company. Nothing happens too fast with a pile of brush collecting on the ground.

I imagine nearly every climber on here started as a groundie, and if you didn't you should do it, even if only to gain perspective. A good groundsperson is almost as valuable as a good climber and I am so grateful to have guys who know what they're doing. They can see things I may not have noticed up in the tree because they're viewing things from a different angle or make suggestions I hadn't thought of to make things run smoother. I may be higher paid and receive more recognition than they do, but I'd be fairly useless without them.

This is way better than my joke.

My boss is my groundie some days everyone works to pay the bills. It's part of tree work and that's what we do if you think you're above that you are to big for your own briches.

Actually, I am too big for my britches. I blame the beer, pastrami sandwiches and late night snacks. So, I've stopped the late night snacks.

Overalls my man, overalls. Snack away.
