It would be a big outlay.

There's been some good advice given regarding PPE and saws, but I think for first day on the job it's unnecessary to be wearing full kit and bringing own tools.

 

Don't see the need to be buying chainsaw boots until using one, just wear protective toe cap boots

Ah ok I do have steel toe cap boots too which I wear for work sometimes so hopefully I will be allowed to wear them 🙂 may be a good idea when I do buy chainsaw boots to break them in a few days during the week in my current job. Thanks Doug 👍🏻

Agreed and nothing worse than hobbling about all day in new boots first day on the job 

Gosh that’s very true !!! We had such rubbish boots issued to us when we were in military training a d because you do not know any better your feet pour with blood and are covered in blisters ☹️ We had to wrap them tightly to help with the pain. In fact worse still the new khaki shirts we wore looked smart but we were marching for hours and hours during training and the stitching cut away the skin under your arms 🤦🏻‍♀️ Agony

@SamanthaSunny actually a recent post by a UK Army major slammed the kit issued, as body armour or uniforms wont fit women squaddies. The whole procurement process is shit. K

That does not surprise me Khriss and the kit is compulsory to wear. They don’t take into account the amount of exercise and sweating a soldier does. Luckily once I got through training I was allowed to buy my own boots as long as they are black and you can wash the kit to death to soften it so and sew patches over the stitching. Where there is a Will there is a way 🙂 x
