New Arb Magazine

[Hodge]

I today got a copy of a new arb mag, Arbor age uk. After having a read it seems ok, I was however surprised by one of the articles it was titled, 11 secrets of the millionaire arborist! I read the article and in my opinion the guy that wrote it hasn't a clue about our industry, especially in these hard times. The case study he has written about has got to be made surely?? Has anyone else got this mag and read the article?

Another article is testing a harness, the guy climbing isn't wearing a climbing helmet it's just a forestry helmet, and in one pic it doesn't look like he is tied in. What sort of message is this giving? You would think that they would try to get it right.

What do you guys think?

I got it aswell, seems quite good IMO as it seems "Grass Roots" based ie at a contractor level. i did read th Millionair bit and had a laff, if only it was that simple! I thought about subscribing to it but at £5 a cope i thought it was a bit steep......or am i being a tight miserable git?

I'd have not thought there would have been much of a market over here with the Forestry Journal and £5-00 does sound a bit steep....

 

 

I've not had one either

£12 for the digital version sounds a bit better for the year, £5 for a mag is just to much imo.
