Owning a business

[Gray git]

If a freelance climber turned up for me, sped up the tree, crashed everything down got the whole tree safely down but in a ungodly tangled nest then fucked off to his van he'd never work for me again and be lucky to get paid at all, that's not skill that's just being a dick who can cut tree's .
A skilled climber who can command decent money makes everyone else look good too by placing stuff in away the rest of the job runs slick, can clearly communicate with the rest of the team what he expects in the way of help in running ropes and above all is safe and courteous. they need to accept that sometimes they will have to sit for a few minutes while stuff is set up or shifted and as long as they aren't in a truly uncomfortable position why not.
Don't crash timber ontop of brash and smash it to twigs else the next time your rope gets tangled no one will help you till they are ready.
When your finished up the tree yes take 10min for a coffee and sort your gear out but muck in with some tidy up even if it's just grab the blower or do a scout round stick pick as it'll be noticed and appreciated by everyone including the client as nothing looks more professional than a good team working together and leaving a tidy job.
Above all remember a bad reputation travels a lot faster and a lot further than a good one!

This post needs to go around the colleges and training centres, just so that new climbers understand what's needed/expected of them.

John just fucks climbers off and buys a Merlo to do the job! ?

Thanks Gary, don't get me started on the shit collages are filling the heads of students with when most tutors haven't actually worked freelance or run businesses themselves.

But these college courses are 8 weeks full time!
What else is there to learn about trees if you've done the course and got all the tickets?

Collège just prepares them for starting in the industry, giving them basic skills so they can learn how to do the job on the job.
