new climber here

Hey everyone my names Rob or Bob whatever you wana call me but im 21 from New England just got into climbing about 6 months ago been in the tree business since I was 16. I'm loving climbing not only work climbing but recreational if i'm not takin a tree down then atleast a few times a week I like to pick one in the yard or around town to practice in and have a good time. Just thought I would say hi and introduce myself as I have been creeping on this site for the past few months and finally made an account here.
 
Aloha from Hawaii!

Welcome to the Buzz, Rob. I'm going with Rob, because you typed it first in your post. I'm always happy to hear that someone creates an account and starts posting after watching from a distance for some time.

Tom is bang on with the link in his post. Check it for sure!
 
Welcome aboard Rob! I am new here as well, I learned a lot here before I even created an account! This is a great resource that is packed with people who are happy to help with any question you may have.

Hey Jeff i'm actually "from" Orange my parents live there but I live with my girlfriend in Oxford. I'm down to meet new people in my area and climb together!
 
Bob, it looks like you got your priorities in order in that pic. Think of her and someday your children every time you tie in, every time you clip in with your lanyard, every time you think about doing something foolish with you saws, every time you think about doing something stupid and unthought out and if she/they and her/their feelings/life mean anything to you, then you will come home everyday just fine after making better decisions through long thought job planning. (think chess) welcome to the buzz. I hope your career is long and profitable. Jeff
 
Welcome! Stick around here and you will learn a lot. All of the advanced climbing techniques I learned from the people here.
Keep learning and ask questions.
 
Yup I second Casey,ask and you will get the knowledge. Learn the personalities of folks and you will get along here fine. Stay out too much conflicts as a newbie and you will be around for the long haul. Lots of info in the archives do some searches.
 
Welcome! As others have said, there is lots to learn here. Not much from me though, I usually just show up and spew some negative crap without divulging what I actually know. It usually involves PPE violations, I don't like those! Seriously though, this site has been instrumental to my career in the tree industry and it's associated fields. I have met people through this site that are dear friends and have made invaluable career connections. Make the most of it!
