Where does the money go?

I didn't compare it to the SAS.... I don't know how to respond to the rest of your post.

Ok, lets rephrase, the job has more risks than most, and you need to have some skill to do it....... is that better?

No I am not.

 

I would say being a squaddy is alot more dangerous than climbing Trees.Sure there are times in your Tree career that you are subjected to risk or injury but not at the magnitude or frequency that a member of the Armed forces is during their career.

Mike you have a hell of a lot of experience in forestry and tree work .. That counts for a lot... And if your not experienced..... ,I have watched fully qualified guys make a mess because they have no real idea or experience in dealing with what trees , weight holding wood can or can't will do. From what I have seen ,you are top of your game... People come in with an idea and unless they can back it up should not be doing it.

Well you are talking to an ex member of the armed forces. I never made a comparison between the armed forces and the tree industry, I was simply reacting to the initial post of "Where does the money go". I also take what i do seriously and with pride and don't like selling myself or this industry short. I served on multiple fronts and have had more injuries in this industry. But once again Im not directly comparing, Im only speaking from personal experience.
