Somewhat unusual request

[treeblud]

So, I'm visiting my family in the Chicago area for Christmas and was an idiot and didn't bring my tree gear with me and arrived to find out there's actually a lot of little work I could do for my parents' property. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could lend me some basic gear and or pruning and or rigging tools so I could get some things done. I'd be willing to pay some type of rental rate or deposit whatever seems fair. I'd really appreciate it. I'm in the north shore suburbs till New Years, and anytime before then would work for me. Otherwise I'll just get it done next summer. Thanks

Hi treeblud

Please come back and tell
The rest of the story. How did you arrange the gear loan and return? Pics of the work or no one will believe you..

 

[treeblud]

Sure is! I knew I could count on the people here though; this communal spirit is how our industry thrives. Thanks everyone! I'll PM you soon, tc262, you seem to be closest.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I've always marveled at how tree working folks seem to trust one another so much, so easily.

I notice about the opening level of trust for day one of working with someone is trusting them with your life and limb. And actually before that, most of us have a very deep abiding trust in ourselves and our own abilities.

Being around such a high percentage of good and capable people - it's a beautiful thing.
