Hi all,

 

Just received my Canadian Work Visa, valid for the next year. So now looking for work opportunities.

 

I am an experienced climber, currently contract climbing, but looking for employment out there really. Well versed in all tree work. have worked around the UK, and spent a fair while in NZ.

 

I am ideally looking for work on Vancouver Island, but open to other places.

 

Any help or pointers very welcome.

 

Thanks Paddy

Give me a call Martin on 0012507400934 i can fill you in on who to and who not to work for or get you a job on Vancouver Island if you want one

I live in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island BC and work for Davey tree i would choose BC every time over Alberta, it gets very cold in the winters in Alberta - 20's and high 30's in the summer Vancouver Island has the best climate in Canada we have the mountain's for winter sports and the ocean and rivers for the summer and the best salmon fishing in the world. Vancouver is more expensive than Calgary but the Island is much cheaper and nicer in my opinion we also have big trees in BC where Alberta are more like the size you find in the UK.

If you are looking for work drop me an email [email protected] I hope that this helps.

If you can get a working holiday Visa and want work in canada i could give you work on Vancouver island big ass trees good company times to avoid are december to feb as works quiet drop me your resume if your interested [email protected]

Did you chip it with a Timberwolf?

No mate 6in greenmech thrashed through it in no time!!

why cut so high ?

The tree was badly rotten at the base and it was also 10 ft across and 10 ft up it was better wood and only 6 ft across and i didnt want to do it off a lanyard as the tree was so decayed i wanted to be able to get the f out of there if it started to collapse

Great pics - I was looking for a vid a few months back just to see how springboards 'work' - what sort of cut you make, what the end of the boards look like etc... but no joy...

 

 

Any links kindly accepted

You just fall a small tree rip a board out of the center about 3 in thick then cut in to the tree 5 - 6 inches three lines top middle and bottom 3 in high break the bits out with an axe and put you board in if its loose ad a wedge under it its that easy

Really Cool!

 

Were you recovering the Timber?

No it was in a national park all the timber stays it was pretty rotten only about 4in sapwood where i cut it

Here are a few photos we took today falling a 200ft+ fir tree off springboards

Apparently the Davey seals **** each other in the woods regardless of there district...and I hear hey have too silky everything cuz there not and aloud big petrol chainsaws...I also hear there red necks that shoot arrows through car doors...but all rumours I guess

I think California would be pretty cool good weather big trees beaches and bikinis

does anyone know of some good firms to work for in canada ? , could anyone send some lists of good firms to contact?

I work for Davey Tree but you have Bartletts Asphlund and then all the smaller firms that you can google

I am a brit living and working in british coumbia Canada tree work over here is a lot more expencive than the UK 2 men truck and chipper around $1500 per day that's about £1000 pay is around the same as the UK $20 - 25 per hour for a climber fallers in the bush earn around $650 per day for 6.5 hrs union regulated hrs gas is cheap here food and living not so cheap at the end of the day it works out about the same cost to live

We were blowing up the danger trees that were in poor condition if we felt they were ok to climb and top safely we did out of 17 trees taken down ithink he blew up 11, and I climbed 5 and another guy did the rest. It was a fun 3 days

if you cant handle them by hand free line them out, steel carabiners and strops girth hitch to the branch you are cutting static line attached below the cut controlled at the other end by ground man 10 strops and carabiners you can soon have that tree down to the chipper

We had the road closed for around 30 - 40 mins per tree we just pushed the trunks in to the bush with the mini ex gave the road a quick rake and blow then let them back through

just using it advance the rope up the tree as the guy was struggling to get a line in the tree that is our 100ft mewp maxed out to give you an idea of the size of trees he wasnt even half way up

Very good, enjoyed that, I am sure it's obvious but why are you blowing them up?

I am guessing 'cos it's a safer fell!

This is a short video put together of a tree job at Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island in BC Canada removing and dead wooding Firs between 200 and 250 ft tall enjoy!!! by the way that me in the orange jacket taking a 200 ft top
