Sounds to me like another homeowner who wants to cut some kind of deal and try to get some free work done. Those deals never work out. Someone usually ends up getting screwed.

Well I did run my own business for three years. I aquired a few people skills during that time. And thats why you have to take a bunch of general education courses in school like public speaking classes etc. That is a good point though. Nothing like telling someone your going to take the left...

Well, I wont be doing any climbing or ground work. I went back to school for GIS and will be mapping out the right-of-ways for future trims and stuff like that. Gravy job hopefully. The job description said ".......ability to operate atv and 4x4 truck, hike rugged terrain and knowledge of GPS...

What do you guys think about this company? I am looking at a position with them and am wondering if they are a good company to work for.

Buy yourself some climbing gear, a copy of the tree climbers companion and go find a tree in the woods, but dont do anything you dont feel comfortable doing. And dont try to cut any limbs off just yet, just climb. Make sure you know your knots and always use quality equipment. From the way you...

I had a Brandit 150 with 2400 hrs when I bought it and it was a great machine. It was taken care of before I got it though.

The aluminum pads work very well. I climbed on them for a couple of years. I weigh 220#'s. With a pair of 16" boots and the aluminum pads you wont even hurt your legs or feet at all. They are not very expensive either. I think they are like $85 or something. I would buy them before I spent all...

The emergency supply of TP in the glove box and some duck tape has worked for me too.

No, and I dont agree with most of what he said.

Actually I chew myself and tried to remember to spit my dip out before bidding a job. So no your not an amatuer because you dip copenhagen. You need to read my post again. I said that there is a STEREOTYPE when it comes to tree guys and the industry is having a hard time in some areas of the...

I see the tree industry as one that is fighting to overcome a stereotype of tobacco spitting rednecks trying to make a living. I personally believe that professionalism is important in any business including arboriculture. However, it can be taken into the overkill zone. Certification is a good...

abc123 If you do lower them down yourself, how are you going to untie the rope from the limb so you can let down more limbs? There are ways to lower them yourself but untie the line might be a problem.

friction hitch I trust my friction hitch more than a mechanical device any day.

1. If I pass and get certified, and I move to a different state, do I have to take the test all over again in the new state or are credits transferable? Or would I be able to just take the tree ID part in that state to be certified in that state???? 2. And how many of you think that...

Yeah that doesnt surprise me one bit. I have been reading the study guide and there have been a few times that I have wondered who in the :censored: wrote this? Then I saw it was Sharon Lilly. She might know about trees but she sure doesnt know about being an author. Some of the sections arent...

I been studying for the test and wanted to know what type of questions are on the test. Are there a lot of multiple choice, or do you have to fill in the blanks by spelling? What category does the exam mostly consist of?

The most comfortable saddle in my opinion is the pennicle deluxe. Its around $400 but worth every pennie. Make sure you get the deluxe with the quick connect leg straps. But you definantly want a bosen seat saddle. they have a seat in them.
