And its near killed me lol!

Same again tomorrow hopefully.

 

You must be earning a fair bit on tonnage doing that. Probally enough to fill a bath with ibuprofin gel to ease the aches and pains.

Normally self employed some estates will be employed. Obviously the FC will be employed. Mechanical forestry does have relief workers but you'll normally get the night shift!

 

Forestry is a hard game to get into forestry is expensive. If you get your timber from the FC they will want to you to have all your certs to work on the site. If there is any windblow on the site you'll need 34. If you want to do harvesters/forwarders expect a 2 week course at 1500 quid a week.

 

 

I spose its a catch 22 enit, you need experience to get a job but you need a job to get experience...so the only thing I can really do is just get all my tickets and ask around?
