a wise man once told me if we hit a recession you’ll be thankful to get out and even earn £50

Well answered for me Steve.

 

If we hit a recession there are easier ways to go out and earn £50.

 Which begs the question, what exactly were you doing up at 0145 on a Tuesday night?

Well where do I start?
Groundies are expected to have a skill set above and beyond.
Saw tickets
First aid
Hgv license
Aerial rescue
Rigging ground and aerial
Trailer license
Signs and lighting
Rolo/cscs
DBS
Chipper ticket
Grinder ticket
Tracked vehicles
Tractors
Loaders
Polite and courteous to clientele.
Tree identification
Knowledge of silviculture
Etc
Telepathy when you can't hear the climber
Psychic ability to know what the climber is about to think.
Rhino skin to take all the verbal shit from diva climbers.
Cape
Underpants on the outside
Ability to fly
Oh and £10k of kit.
Your own vehicle and 100+ miles a day commute/ sleeping in van.
Pissing in the chip box and shitting in a hedge.
All for less than a curlywurly a day.
And all you climbers wonder why you can't get a decent guy on the ground?

Classic post.

A good groundsman is worth climbers rate any day, a shit one ain't worth paying. A good groundi will make an average climber fly thru the work. K
