Hi All 

 

Im Sam, new to posting on the forum but a long time reader. 

 

Based in peterborough, been in the industry for 14 years. Started at 16 by doing hand cutting, thinnings and wind blow for 8 years before moving on to machine side of forestry doing extraction and forwarding work although still do plenty of days on the saw when needed.

 

Recently trying to make the move in to the more surveying side of the business (both forestry and arb) so looking to gain insight and experience in these areas. 

 

Be kind  if I ask silly questions.

No questions are silly if you don't know the answers  but I suspect you could answer a few yourself bud !  Welcome Sam .

Welcome Steve, glad to have you

Hi there.

 

I used to do ground work for a climber years ago and the odd bit of felling and some big windblown stuff the local Glendale crew wouldn't tackle (probably my favourite part of the job to be honest..).

I went off and did other things for a few years but decided I missed being cold, wet and knackered for most of the week so am looking to get back into sawing.

 

Dunno how far I'll go with it. I think I'm a bit too old and have broken myself too many times to start climbing again. I did enjoy it on the few chances I got but that was years ago.. Like I said I did enjoy dismantling the fallen stuff, the bigger the better. There's just something about working out where the weight is and which branches are just dying for a chance to whip round and break your arm! I love it.

 

So yeah, I'll be on here asking how to fix my motley crew of old saws and doing things on the cheap 'til I'm making mad stacks, like every other tree worker out there..

Just a heads up to who it may interest, I'm not new, but I have been vacant for a long while,( quit the funny responses before you start).

Though I would stick my head in now and then, not much has changed, I'm still a bloody nuisance.
