free labour

[Stephen Blair]

you are also taking work from subby climbers. I know where you are coming from but not all members run their own company, there are members of the public who just like logs and trees so you are advertising free tree work, doesnt really do any favours for the rest of us.

[Rupe]

Stevie, don't put him off! After all not many people on here can manage those really big trees that I've heard of. We might need his help one day. Whatta guy, he must be like so brave and that!

[Rob D]

That's what I call keen.... But you may not be so keen after doing a couple - bloody hard work and long days up a tree.

 

 

But I suppose if you want the experience......

[skyhuck]

For me half the buzz of doing BIG trees is the MONEY, its the fact that I make good coin from my ability to get the job done.

i put this to you all.. if you were to one day win the lottery and win enough to be settled for life would you still do this job?? i for one can say hand on heart i would..! crazy as that sounds its true.. (sorry to diversify but seemed vaguely apparent)

I would still do SOME take downs, BUT I would still charge, even if I gave the money to charity.

No way would i be working doing this or any other job if i won the lottery

I'd still climb if i won the lottery it would be more of a hobby yes but i'd still do it, probably travel the world and do tree work in the most intresting places i could find hopefully with some of the best treeworkers.

if i never touched a chainsaw again i wouldnt be sad, there is a big world of adventure out there, i want a slice of it, i think its an insult to others to keep working and not enjoy the othe rworldly pleasures that some never get a chance to if that oppertunity came up, i am not saying money buys you happyness but it certainly helps.. i have done the tree climbing felling lunge pose thing, i have had enough of it, because it isnt swinging about with bon jovi playing in hte back ground, slow turning glances and high fives, its hard, wet, cold work. give me a warm office anyday and a toilet down the corridor and eating my lunch round a table. not eating snadwiches on your lap and taking a pee behind a garage and bursting for a number 2 all day..i want a helicopter on my private island and a rollercoaster to my own personal flume and tank machine gun play area, come on guys have some immagination:biggrin:
