   Well done. My 2 cents is.... get a decent helmet, some chainsaw trousers, boots and a silky. Don’t worry about a chainsaw for a bit. It’s likely you won’t be chainsawing for a little while and if you are, you will prob start off doing a little processing with the firms groundsaw. Asking questions is groovy, the most important one being... “ is there anything I can do to help at the mo.” Sometimes groundying can be a bit stop start and will take a while to know when to go full beans or when to chill.  Another thing I think is important is don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” Clients may ask you awkward shit sometimes, like the scientific name of a species or more likely “ while you’re here can you just” and the worst thing is when a nervous groundy makes up some bullshit or talks you into work.  Just be truthful. “I’m new to this, ask the boss” Ask sensible relevant questions and colleagues will appreciate it.  It sounds like you have a decent work ethos so It sounds like you’ll do great. Get paid for it. But don’t ask superstar wages yet. Work ethic and willingness to graft/learn are far more important than technical knowledge at this stage. Alex

Even carrier pigeons avoid the valleys, we could be in for a bit of peace and quiet yet... [emoji6]

I genuinely don’t mind what I’m dragging about because I’m starting from zero knowledge so I can learn from watching and listening to the team. I have decided I won’t take a penny in wages because I’m dead weight at the moment and I’m just grateful to be getting training [emoji846] I must try not to ask too many questions [emoji51] I’m too enthusiastic at the moment so hopefully a day trudging in mud and dragging heavy branches will curb that [emoji23]

Don't sell yourself short, no reason to be dead weight - there will just be some parts of the job you can do and some parts you can't. Get on with the parts you can and you'll be a valuable part of the team, take home your wages for that.

I've quite often done jobs with inexperienced people on the team, one of the lads I've had working for me is a freelance film maker (so he's happy for casual work this year). No qualifications in arb but he gets stuck in and things move along, earns his wage as much as the next man.
