You know your a Tree Surgeon when...

[josharb87]

youre doing your lorry theory test, when on the hazard & perception video, you see a transit coming towards you, and think 'wouldnt that be funny if its a tree gang. . . bloody hell its got a chipper, well i never' and miss the hazard completly

When you go on holiday and the the pics are of trees and not a single one of your gf.........thats it just stand there.....perfect.......snap!

When your whole body buzzes after a hard day through exhaustion but you feel alive...

You love the smell of rope and wear fuel and oil as a permenant musk...

When you can stand your ground with any pushy/arrogant customer and explain with authority your knowledge with compassion and earn there respect....

When you get refferals and repeat buisiness

When your ear defenders are down ,your swaying in the wind 60ft + up, at one with the tree ....then your the king of the world

When your phone is full of tree pics and none of the family.Or you get rollocked for deleting wedding photos on her camera cos yours is full of trees.

.......when you hit that perfect 60 foot anchor with the Big shot, and do a little jig and feel all childlike and bang on about it till the guys give you that look

 

Thanks to Pete and Bob for the advice on the best 'luxury' kit buy I've purchased in ages.

..... youve had the day from hell, awkward customers, tricky rigging, metal in the trunk, yet you get home and bore everyone rigid about what a great day you've just had, and proceed to share all the photos with them, and they have to humour you til they've seen every last one. Then they have to help you choose which pics will be best for posting, so you can start a new thread on Arbtalk!! Love it!!

When you're decending on your prussic in the pissing rain........and the water from the rope is pouring down your forearm.

In what other line of "work" apart from professional sports do you take photos of yourself working and then race home to enlarge them and print them out or upload them to Facebook. Can you imagine a builder saying "derek get a photo of me with this wheelbarrow up the scaffold" hahahahaha
