We Might Want You!

Well these small Texas Trees are perfect for Learning the ropes. I'm afraid that the work here is probebly a little easier on a day to day basis but on a really good day we might have a chance to jump up a big bald cypress, Live oak or peacan. The really big trees are professionaly coveted around here. You see very few Texas Climbers in the finals at the "world cup". But it's a fun place to work if you love the land and the big really big ones are out there to climb a few times a mounth. Any one who can ride a skate board, Bmx, ski, rock climb or who is althletic in any way can learn to climb trees well and use a chain saw. The trick for me has been finding some one who can do that and cares about trees and is willing to learn something about them on a deeper level and then stick around to apply that knowledge.
 
Used to skateboard and race BMX in my teenage years, but you do realise I´ll be 40 in four years, Not quite a spring chicken anymore. But hey life begins at fourty, anyway who´s counting.

I'm in Fredericksburg Nevic, I might like to get together sometime and talk about referrals (my calls given to you, or your calls sent my way) that are located in between...I don't like driving to Johnson City, Burnet, Marble Falls, etc.

I'm a two-man operation, sometimes three. Overinsured, decades of experience, now ten inches of chipping capacity and a competent rigger...trying to divorce myself from dead live oak removals.

Also interested in cooperative assistance...bang-out jobs coming my way but not crewed enough to perform them in due time...deferments to next year because of them. I would in no way refer them to any other local entity, I have a reputation to maintain and a retirement schedule to uphold.
 
I need to make a trip to neck of the woods to buy a wedding suit. mabey we can have lunch. please give me a call, I think I may have met some young hippies that were draging brush for you last year.
 
Will do - PM me with the numerals necessary to manifest that.

Often a gaggle of hipster youth, riding to meet me on skateboards, are more eager to and work tirelessly as fireants feeding on a carcass of rotting venison. I'm proud of those kids who society often dismisses, they show a love of group effort and have incentive to work when they work together.

They work my chipper like they compose the songs they sing...must be the heavy loud metal. Glad I'm able to pay them for work that means more than flipping burgers at MacD's.
 
Ya they seemed like good kids. They were on there way to Enchanted Rock when I met them Last september-ish. I told them to give me a call if they ever moved to the "big City". I used to be one of those kids, Probebly like alot of us. My # is 512.922.7058

Nevic, I feel your pain, you want someone who will prove themselves, work hard, and grow as you teach the finer points of proper tree care.
Well if you could ever figue out how to get and keep young men that Want To Learn, let me know, I have been working off and on in this business for almost 20 years and can not fine but maybe 1 guy like that a year.
Our only hope is that more and more trade schools are starting to look to the Arbor Industry for growth for their students.
Hang in there, we have the best jobs in the world, wouldn't trade this work for all the money in the world, Money Ain't Everything, but it does help get through life.

Climb high, climb safe.
