Cheers! and very true, good workers are very thin on the ground.

Maybe not, I do recognize that by working the way I have chosen to, I MAY have a high turnover of staff, the my current man is not from an arb back ground, he may wish to move on to higher things? I may just be a stepping stone in peoples Carree's? I feel it is wrong to look down on someone for being content with a job that you would not do, in life we need people who are happy with there lot, he is very good at the things he does. I would be very sad to see him go and would struggle to find another as good.

Spot on!!!

Yes I had that one too

Your quite wright, buts thats how I am, sorry I have had more staff in the past, I used to have another team with another climber, but I just had continual hassle, bumping my motors, recking my gear and treating me like they were doing me a favor by coming in. I was also sued by some one who climbed over a fence, (with out being asking)he broke his leg and apparently it was my fault as I had not trained him to climbing fences:confused1:. So I decided that all skilled or dangerous work would be done by me. In my defense when I recruited I advertised for a laborer and made the situation clear, I pay well and he is happy, as am I.

He can drag brash, tend my rope, feed the chipper, hump logs, rake up, and unhook the slings once the timbers been lowered into the trailer by my crane, what more could I ask ?

If you listen Ed you hear him say come on "snorkel" so he must have snorkel on the air intake. If it had been a defender the water in the cab would have been up to your neck,lol.

What a load of utter rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many times did he say "I", talk about loving the sound of you own voice!!!!!!!!!!! He was supposed to be telling us about Job, never quite managed it, did he? But don't get me stared on Job, God gives the Devil "permission" to destroy his whole life including killing his ten children and this is for "being faithfully" to God??? But its OK because after God give him ten new children, which is fine because we all know our kids are replaceable, wright ??

Who told you !

If you learn to climb relying on pegs, what do you do when its a very clean tree with very few branches? What do you do if you climb high and your rope wraps round a peg lower down the tree, that too low for you to sort and too high for your groundie? And what if you go for a swing and one of those pegs finds your spine! Pegs also make such nasty fire wood.

Ya puff !
