You get away with loads being self employed

in my experience... the ntpc training is not really worth it unless you are going into the industry, the felling tickets are pretty much production forestry specific... and have limited bearing on day to day felling when not in dense stands of timber.

the three day lantra training course will cover most of the ntpc small tree felling cert(just with slightly smaller trees) at about half the price...

go to the ntpc site and you can view the assessment schedules and see what youre expected to do in the assessment.

You have a pm TB

Do a search for cutting techniques and training.

You're the umpteenth person to ask is why you got some flack over your question.

Hi Mr Nice Guy Gary, i may not be the first but deffo not the last!!

It was a personal message for help, i could read all the books in the world, but there is no substitute for first hand experience from a skilled operator.
At the mo i can't be with n-b ends with 2 bit answers. That was not meaning you.
Thanks for your help

I learned more in one day working with a guy cutting in a cherry picker than in the 2 years i had been using a saw.

So yes i see what your after.
A day working/watching someone that has a clue what they are doing is priceless.

lol, i said the same thing...

It's a pity you guys weren't a bit closer, i could learn something in the process!!!!

I must admit, the last 4 i took down were much smaller and easier. It took no time at all to fell, limb and buck. You should have seen the mess from the first 25, all felled on top of each other!!
It looked like a whirlwind had hit them. All the flippin branches all snagged aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh. Took absolutely ages and they were big brutes compared to the rest.

You are my favorites (Brucie)

Oops... I replied again...

No reading or internet tutorial is gonna do squat unless you can actually apply the techniques. Practice, practice, practice, practice, and more practice is what will make you a better cutter.

That answer I gave was actually not meant for you either. There are achives on internet forums for a reason. This forum seems to be the only one i frequent however... where the new guys get pissed off if they are told to check the archives or "do a search". If the archives were not there and the threads disappeared after 30 days... it would be a different story.

Again this is not directed at you CC... just makin' a point.

Absolutely no probs at all Gary.
It's just i was looking for 1 to 1 hands on training. I have done some searchs for some of the techniques.

Two good guys SCS AND TB i guess would help but they both live about 11 to 12 hours drive away.

Thanks for the reply
