DOnt know if this is in the right place as this is going to be a bit of a rant, but i just need to get off my chest to all cocky gents (they know who they are!!) who i have had the mispleasure with working with, who come out of a intesive course or just get their tickets and think they are the dogs nutts then start wining that they are tired and their hands hurt as soon as a big saw get tied on to their rope, or stand their offering pearls of wisdom to blokes who have been doing this work hands on for many years, and then start bitching that they dont like raking up and 'they didn't spend all that time and money to feed a chipper - well heads up! most of you are not very good and the only ones i have come across who are any good from these crash course are a) in the minority and

 

Also to some one else to whom this concerns - 1 year out of doing an ND does not mean you have been there and done that and in no way should you be in a postion of training up people to work in this industry.

 

 

what else whilst i'm on my soap box - oh yeah Stihl! what is going on with your chainbrake handles? they made of porcelain now or something?

 

also the next man who subs me in than complains it took 3 experienced climbers two days to do what he could do in half a day is in for a cuddle! - ( i know for a fact this bloke has never put on a pair of spikes and cant even sharpen a chain - oh yeah thats another thing - the next bloke who picks up my clibing saw to sned a tree blunts it and then chucks it down is ino for a cuddle as well in fact any gents who blunts a saw and leaves it for some one else to fix - oh yeah and back to some of you crash course people! learn to sharpen a chain!!! i mean really learn! that running a file across half aint gonna give you a sharp saw - and to the gent who broke far too much stuff if you by chance read this - stop making up rubbish excuses as to what and why it went wrong! man up admit you balls it up and stop wining about how it wasnt your fault......

 

and on that note i'm off for a beer then a holiday :)

if you want people to understand then you need to stop mincing your words and say what you mean, lol. i hope your rant made you feel better, it certainly did me. i think most of us can share your frustrations mate so dont worry you aint alone. hope you can get it sorted.

 

ps. although not strictly swearing, avoiding swear filters is still, with good reason, against forum rules so take it easy in your posts mate. welcome to the forum by the way.

 

edit; just seen your join date, so not so much welcome more.... post abit more often, lol.

Seeing as 90% of those who know me call me Dilz, and in fact are suprised when they find out this isnt my real name - my real name is Tom and i started in tree care in 2001, Lets just say its been a rough last couple of months subbing having to work with undesireables, a situation that isnt helped by the fact one bloke i worked for owes me £3k (dating back from July) and as i'm sure some of you are aware if you go through the proper channels it can be a long and drawn out procces to get sorted - but it is slowly getting there. I guess i used my original post as a kind of virtual punch bag. So yup i'm on a stint of RnR and will be refreshed and ready for next year :)
