Took the top third off this post, it fell straight down and stuck in the ground hard enough so that I needed to notch it and fell it all over again. I wonder if the homeowner noticed that there was a "new" stump??

Thats great set up...good way to get in the industry too...kinda wish i could have gone through a program my self...
I started learning by doing....read a ton, and still do, worked for a local arborist...and kind of have gone from there.
I think it being free too is a awesome set up, and you know your teaching the proper way...so the dont start off in the industry with bad habits.

One though i wish i could get experince with is a bucket truck...that is one thing i have never worked with...and have wanted to since i was a kid....
Looking at job corps...they have a wide spread of trades they offer, good see...nothing like this is offered in high school any more...well atleast where i went to school..San Diego, there was a couple schools that had a auto shop, but that was it.

Ooops!Took it Down and put it back up
I do enjoy it . I had real good teachers when I started in March of 1980. I had the truck licensed but had now even seen a chipper. I still try to be as good as they were. We follow all of the ANSI standards, Safety is paramount and that is a hard thing here in Arkansas, to many Hillbilly Tree Co. ( you know have saw will travel). Most in the phone book still advertise Topping. I least the Grads we send out have been taught the right way, what they do after is up to them. I have the same odds I had on the job with someone staying with it, 2 out 10 may still be doing tree work years later. We have a center in Ya hats OR. southern IL. Pine Knot KY. Great Onyx KY and up in Vermont.

Safety is a big one, i do know what you mean with the hillbillys....dont have that problem so much where i am from...normall "Jose" who cuts lawns, has an extension latter and a old homelite chain saw...not trying to be racist or anything in any way...but its true.
Topping still seems to be a problem everywhere...I live in Sonoma county now, and often visit in the davis/sac. area....everywhere i look primarily residental areas, trees are topped everywhere...
Just on a run the other day, saw 3 more threes getting topped...i wanted to go knock on the door and explain what they were doing to there trees.
Through Job Corps...are dorms something that are offered for a fee...or if someone come from out of the area they just find an apartment or something??
