Hello David,

Ive read some of your other posts and admittedly life can be a bugger at times.

Getting into this trade even at entry level is sadly not cheap, I do wonder if there is other work you could do to help you save towards getting started?Sometimes we focus on things and actually go backwards.

A training provider should be able to supply you with a list of kit you will need to do the course. Some trainers may be able to supply both tools and PPE.

 

If it's a list of equipment you need for work in general, then that can be a pretty long list......... For basic felling I'd carry wedges, hammer, breaking-bar, tape, tongs, 1st aid kit (better not forget that!), fuel & oil, plug key, files (flat and round), oh - and a saw. PPE wise, you're looking at trousers, boots, helmet and gloves. Other's may take either more or less stuff with them.
