Hey I'm in Fort Myers. Do you have a company in Cape Coral? There are a lot of trees down around here. Mostly large ficus trees (strangler figs, Cuban laurels, benjamina) there are a ton of people out here working. We're really swamped with emergency work. If any climbers with storm experience...

Cool please do! I would love to have someone to climb with. I am in Fort Myers. I have some nice spreading live oaks by my house I climb all the time.

I am in SW Florida. what part of Florida are you from?

That's why you were nervous. Didn't wanna screw up in front of the ol lady

Move to Florida. Then call me when you come across some big ones. Bored of palms and small trees

Basically I just wanted to know if anyone else started the same way, and if they had an issue finding somebody to cover them or who would you guys recommend contacting.

While that's true, the company I currently work for is one of the only companies around that actually has a safety program. I've personally been through countless safety classes through my employer, Vermeer, TCIA, And ISA. From Aerial rescue to CPR/first aid. None of that seems to matter since...

Great news if true. So I guess tree care wouldn't be considered construction then? I've been getting some bad advice. It's not that I don't want workers comp, it's that I literally cannot find it or afford fwcjuwa's outrageous premiums if I'm just doing weekend work. When I go full time with...

That may be an option. The only thing is (I believe) they would have to use their own equipment.

the yellow arrows and the Palm on the left by the telephone pole look like Sabal palmetto (cabbage Palm) Sure looks like south Florida to me. Would love to see some clearer pics. I think I see Australian pine and mahoe too but I really can't be certain with these pics.

Oh yeah I agree with you. I'm very glad Ive learned them. I just meant you will not need them for the test. you will need to study the ansi standards as well.

I just used the study guide and the cd's. I took a lot of time to learn Latin names, but did not need it.

Check your local pawn shops for saws and what not. I've bought most of my saws from one down the road from me. I got a 200t for $200 out the door, an ms361 for $225 in excellent condition and a 440 for $300. All of my other saws ran $100-$150. I wouldn't go buying used climbing gear or...
