Not my experience, my wife does not work and has not done for the last 18 years and we have 4 children. We have never used credit cards and have only had a business overdraft for the last 12 months.

 

Personally I think if you work hard and are sensible with your money a decent climber will easily support his family, by running his own small crew.

 

Same here, and yes it was tough at times, but then life ain't easy anyway. It's not just a decent climber, but any decent worker can by running his own crew.

If you ain't a climber you ain't a tree surgeon..

 

Thank god for that, I hate that term :thumbup:

Or they can just employ a climber who's better or cheaper than you :biggrin:

 

I'm not freelance anymore, but the whole idea of better quicker climbers once you reach a degree of proficiency is macho bollocks.

 

you are working on tiny English trees and after 20 years of cutting these things you can do it in your sleep:001_smile:

You are misunderstanding me and you know it. There is no awesome skill in this thing...that's my point.

Whilst you consider your response.

 

With the possible exception of Reg who does quite good vids. Its my view that there are a load of wannabes who want to build a rep as a big deal.

 

Vids are for them. I'm a journeyman climber who's done quite a bit but not everything.

 

I wan't to cut the bullshit, not add to it
