I carry waivers in my truck for the landowner and myself to sign, that releases the owner from any/all liability if me or my equipment is hurt on his property. I am wondering if anyone else does. If not, why not.
I have NO problem at all signing one, and if someone wanted to cut on my land, I would make them sign one also. While I personally would never attempt to blame the landowner for my injury, who's to say my family wouldn't if I did get seriously injured?
When the idea of a waiver is MY idea and not the landowners, it sure makes it a lot easier for them to decide to let me cut there.
I also carry the phone numbers of places I cut so they can call for a reference if they want one. Usually, they call me, after getting my name from someone whose land I am already cutting on, but sometimes I just stop in out of the blue if I see a ton of dead oak in their woods and no evidence of wood burning in their yard. Is that considered FAD? S'pose it is, but so what!:msp_wub:
