DON,T carry a spanner in you pocket,i fell arse over tit with one in my pocket years ago,got up and felt summat a bit sore and it was stuck in my leg about inch and half deep,bit sore to say the least

.... Not as sore as you feel when you fall over n smash yr phone  😐 K

I tell new (young) staff, if I see you on your phone and no one needs an ambulance, it will stay in the van.
Top tips for subbing:
Bring:
Water (lots)
biscuits
Cake
Sarnies
Chocolate
Flask
More biscuits
Bog roll.
Water proof jacket
Filing kit

Also get your own ppe, saw and fuel can ASAP.

The most difficult thing sometimes is to bring a friendly, positive, can do attitude.
But I think you’ve sussed that bit.

Not sure about that ? Tight trousers low cut top and a good flask of tea that can be roped up a tree. Start as you mean go go on and god forbid they are on this forum as will need a good sense of humour at least. Just keep it as some chap called mark sammy cause they are nosey bunch on here. K thinks he is a barrister late at night (on the bottle) 

 

 

 

 

 

I definitely do not want to give them the wrong impression Les lol 😂 I’m happily married 😬 er well I’m married anyway 😁 I’m there to work not pole dance 😇 I would love to know how many times women have slapped you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good job, taken the initiative and paid off. I hope you will find that tree surgery is hard work but rewarding, for me it's been worth taking the plunge. I think those of us entering the industry at 40+ are never going to do certain types of work like pollarding London street trees, but there is plenty of other tree and garden work where we can do just fine. Just have to use our heads and play to our strengths.

I was going to say that Rich Rule and eggs have told you all you need to know but I thought of a couple more - have a dump before work, and learn how to tie a slip knot for sending things up the tree.

(Patrick at educatedclimber has a great page of knot videos)

Take a what 🤣 that did make me laugh 😂 I’m still as strong as an ox and work like a dog so I’m hoping to keep up with the workload. I’ve never had a lady’s job so do not know any better x I promise if I am useless I would step down straight away because I cannot abide special treatment and I’m only worth paying a wage if I have worked as well as the others 🙂 I have been practicing lots of different knots in my lunch breaks at work. So hopefully I can remember them 😬 Thankyou for the tips Dan it’s greatly appreciated x

Y'say that, but i used to always leave my phone in the van and a few weeks ago my mate stuffed a saw into his forearm and i had to frantically dash to the van to get my phone so i could call an ambulance. Now it's in my pocket all the time again.

 

 

Combi spanner and a filing kit! 

 

(Most of our guys can't file a chain to save their lives.)

 

 

We do all that for one of the borough councils. Mind numbing.

Ah Thankyou Moose 🙂 what would be the best filing kit to buy ? I have a combi spanner. If I kept my phone on me I would probably break it. But I can see having a phone ready to call emergency services would be important. I hope your friends arm was not too bad and he can still work ☹️ I did a year in the TA as a Nurse before I joined the regulars so that might come in handy. Need to buy my PPE quickly now 🙂 I’m really looking forward to finally understanding what you are all talking about now as some of the terminology you all use goes over my head 😂 x
