Whats it worth?

[Billy]

Self employed CS30 31 38 39 + first aid with a few years ground experience and a bit of climbing experience also. with full climbing kit 200T, 1 or 2 ground saws and own vehicle. How much would you say thats worth per day on a part time basis, just want to get some opinions. thanks

worthless unless you are any good, as a labourer then 60 quid a day as a beginner climber then 50 quid a day because you will be slow and hold things up. if you are the dogs kahunaas then you can ask as much as you like

Im kinda like you in a way mate, Ive been grounding 10 years and had my climbing tickets about 18 months or a little more, I dont advertise myself as a climber because i know the game inside out and i know id only make myself look like a fool if i got to a tree and couldnt do it, So i advertise myself as groundsman/aerial rescue.

 

As i say i know the game inside out now and im a VERY good groundie, I believe im worth every penny of £100 a day but no matter what you believe your worth you can only subbie for what people are prepared to pay you, Ive said to a few local people recently id like £100 a day and they've turned round and said i can only offer you £80 as a groundie, Which ive accepted (id be daft not too, Not gonna cut my nose of to spite my face), Personally id find it hard to work for less than £80 a day!!!!

Just take a look at how many moans this site carries regarding bad groundies,then decide what your worth if your good my groundie is the dogs do dahs an she gets 120 a day. but she iis allso the wife.

£80 is the answer+ more fore crappy or big climbs

[Mesterh]

I think I am in the wrong county/city/town or something!

What kind of truck do you have. Just a van for carrying tools or something that you can chip into and take logs? That will have an effect on your wage.
