Hello everyone, I thought I would start out by saying I am as green as they come. I am trying to find some good books for beginners. So far I have To Fell a Tree A Complete Guide to Tree Felling and Woodcutting, and The Tree Climber's Companion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I was also wondering how to get your foot in the door. I'm going to be doing a lot of reading obviously before I apply for anything, but I'm trying to come up with a general idea of how to get the job. Eventually I would like to be a climber, but I know you have to start out doing the grunt work. Since I have no experience, I figured I would go in when a position is vacant and offer to work for them for free for a week, so they can see if I'm a hard worker. Is that a stupid idea, or do you think it would work?
Thanks in advance
Andrew
