Scots- everyone here is a qualified climber with experience. You might set yourself apart/above by being more specifc with your experiences. Pictures help.
Where do you want to go? What pay scale and benefits are you expecting?
I'm sure there're people around looking for a climber.
love

Hey Skew,
Ruggers don't necessarily make good treemen! I have seen three or four dozen of them come and go over the last decade........don't want to think about the cost of training and equipping them. They are always ready to move on to greener pastures!
That being said, some of our best guys are ruggers.
So I don't know what you are supposed to take out of that, but I've said my piece.

I'm playing with the idea of letting someone from overseas migrate here to take over what I've built as a very small but lucrative total-tree care business. It would require a lengthy partnership to learn all the "in's and out's" as we target diseased trees primarily. More so, long-term care for the trees we have treated in the past. A very impressive list of customers, minimal equipment but 90% return clients. Two man crew, occassionally three. Chipper, dump, flatbed, sprayer, all Stihl, rigging, residual cable hardware and wholesale accounts, plus laboratory for isolation studies and manufacturing of nutritional supplements used on trees.
It wouldn't mandate an investment other than commitment and a sort of pledge to remain dedicated for a minimum of five years. Foreigners considered primarily. People who recognize our president is a criminal is the primary selection criteria.

In West-central Texas, an area called the Hill country. An oak savannah, forested kind of like the southeast of Australia. Some big trees, many smaller ones. In the midst of the most costly forest hardwood disease epidemic in American history, 27 counties here affected with losing their primary trees, 17 total American states. But we also do tree moving and pruning for old ladies on pension, some municiple work for the city and plenty of favors for good people. We charge the ultra rich extra for that ability as they took most of their wealth at the cost of lower and middle classes losing theirs - adjusted for the 20th century and the last six years of Halliburton and the Republican's recent windfalls from war and Wall street.
I've alerted my bookeeper to make a statement inabling me to appraise a more specific position, I'm not a business man nor intend to become one.

Looking at and feeling my past and positioned against the current state of affairs in America (up to and including big-box consumer mentality and foot-dragging on energy and consumption issues) it's time to cash-in on what else the world can offer...been travelling enough in spare time (and professional invites) to have appraised the available real humanity, cultures, and societies out there.
It's more so in America and every day louder, "ask your doctor about" pills that can make you dance with butterflies (if your job or domestic situation is increasingly uncomfortable) or markers of success are a Lexus or an Expedition bigger and costlier that the Jones's. Finanace a 30-yr home mortgage with a new 4-bedroom track house that in 30 years can't be sold or occupied again. Prosper and educate the kids with "No Child Left Behind" and find they have nothing to show but qualifications to work at WalMart...or sell real estate.
There are little sparks of life out here, things a small number of people do that contribute, or make a difference but only enough to engulf some validity in their own lives, doing little for the big picture...we're up against a huge phenomena led by money in the end. We live, then die, and the spirits of people who achieve lavishly against those who struggle, I'd rather share a Sunday dinner with the black family who lost what little they had from Katrina than the yuppie down the road with a Kentucky Derby winning mare, and a 3 million-dollar barn to house her.
I say foreigners because of the character of the native now, who sees fiscal potential vs. possibilities of success measured in trees that live or die or who they work for vs. the trees that the above "own". But a cog in the entire machine, a fresh outlook means not seeing things measured by the formula that America uses and has to continue to, vs what one man can do that might lead to better things not included in the standards by which Western culture measures success. Unpolluted minds, open to thinking about what's wrong with certain beings and how to rectify them. If one is truely interested in really fixing a sick tree, it means addressing issues the mainstream doesn't want to hear about. Guts like those who left a home culture under pressure, and offered a fresh perspective untainted by what has become the base root of America today and how we solve problems instead of understanding what causes them.
Criteria is tight, but there are people out there still, I like to believe.

Oakwilt, are you talking about industrial pollution or laissez faire free market capitalism in general?

It takes the latter to produce the former.

Watching movies with your girls or memories from a recent trip? I believe the quote is from Bambi...
Thumper: He doesn't walk very good, does he?
Mrs. Rabbit: Thumper!
Thumper: Yes, mama?
Mrs. Rabbit: What did your father tell you this morning?
Thumper: [clears throat] If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all.
Anyway...I get the point. That's why I haven't replied.

Bookeeper (er, rather the lawyer who crunches my numbers) told me to move from partnership to LLC, which I was when treating oaks exclusively. This would allow an employee load that would include additional expense but would increase the net worth (!?!). Once the net is catalogued then I have an entity to move (!?!)
MY dreams of a turnover that would allow me to cash in to realize my plans to expatriate/retire is the point the bookie is making, but there are tangibles that I need to see extended, like the purpose in the business besides being an earning entity.
Since 2000, while I was called away for a year, I've had a turnover of temporary partners, mostly men who sought a working vacation of sorts, a chance to get away from pressures of their vocation...temporarily. My current non-practicing partner is a working corporate pilot but I'd like to slide my son/employee into that role. The idea is to have him exit when I do as I need a first mate/navigator on my plans. Then we have a tree business that's captainless and worker deficient but I'd like to see it continue from that point, and not by someone who just buys a Rolladex of customers and the small lot of equipment that's used.
