Good first impression

[Hodge]

Leave phone and fags int truck, get stuck in. Turn up on time or 10 mins early and don't be a clock watcher. Good luck:)

Who you working for Arran? Good luck mate.

 

MBS Grounds maintenance, based in braintree. Bit of a trek but I think overall will improve me loads as a climber in comparison to working for myself doing domestic work. Happy to earn less for the experience.

Lots of sound advice above. I am not professionally in the tree game, but do deal with newbies at work on a regular basis, so a bit of general advice.

If you are new to something, dont rush at it, go steady. You have the tickets, but not the experience. Be humble, ask questions, know your limitations, be open to learn - I regularly read comments on Arbtalk from clearly experienced people who admit to learning something new.

Dont judge people based on their day rate - the lowest paid on site are there to do a necessary job.

Make sure your first aid kit is up to date and on person, bring at least one extra set of clothes with you, everything else all ready mentioned. All the best.

Everything mentioned already.

 

Use your initiative when you have done your job to do whatever else needs doing.

 

Don't be afraid to ask for advice, get stuck in, enjoy it

 

Good luck!
