Geert Brakel

Recommended Posts

Hi guys this is mainly a question for some of the more experienced climbers or anyone really who thinks they could help me out with this question. I am coming close to finishing my Foundation Degree in Arboriculture and I have already done a summers work for a tree surgery company. I know now tree surgery is the career route I want to take and was wondering if anyone had any advice for a young tree surgeon. Any help or advice would be much appreciated, I just want to be good at my job and have a solid reputation.

 

Any help much appreciated

 

Cheers

Yep, keep doing the same. Your formal education will put you in a good position because after a couple of years as a climber, all that knowledge will start to come to the surface again and you will be pruning trees correctly, unlike the uneducated masses that represent the majority in this industry.

Keep safe.

Hi there if you can keep going with that company and get them tp let you climb and learn the job it's the best thing you can ever do as it's the only way to become good as a climber . There is no short cut to it .

 

Climb every tree you can for them give everything you do 100%

Do all the stuff they don't want to do it does not matter if it's full of ivy and dead wood each one is cracking exp and the better and better you will get .

 

If you love the job you do work really and have a passion for it you will succeed .

 

It's not always an easy road and there will be the rough with the smooth

But just be determined and it will pay off . I really love my job and I have never looked back

 

Good luck and all the best

Im young aswell and some of the advice ive picked up is, eat well, sleep well and stretch alot, im naturaly a stiff person and stretching when i wake up and before I go to bed makes a big difference and before and after climbing.

Need as many years out of my body as it can take :001_smile::001_smile:
