working in the rain

[castanea]

Just crack on. Always find the bad weather gives me more energy. Worked in some bad conditions but as long as you got stamina to keep going till it gets dark then should be fine. Funny to see the softies when the weather turns.

I avoid working in the rain where possible. Cos it's miserable.

A good set of waterproofs and it aint as bad as all that. All ways seems worse outdide when you are inside, once you get out in it, its not that bad. Wont bother if its torrential unless its got to get done.

One of the first mantra's I learned when I joined the RAF was "don't worry, skins waterproof"

It's pretty job specific.

Big slippy trees take longer if its lashing down, so does clearing up etc., so you don't make as much money.

We try and do smaller jobs, hedges etc.

If its set in all day there's always the log yard.

I enjoy my job and want it to stay that way, so will not go out in the heavy rain no point in working for myself and being proper miserable all day.

We will make sure all the kit is clean and sharp on wet days.

If we have started a job and it rains we get wet and finish it.

If you don't work you don't earn. Simples. It makes life more difficult in the rain but so does postponing jobs as it has, in my experience, a knock on effect for all the other jobs. I remember losing a job because I delayed it.

Yeah, they're for some amd not for others. I never used to bother, but much prefer them now.

Just get on with it, I wonder sometimes if people in this game are getting soft.
