What a great start to a hopefully great career, its the way we should all be taught. i know a lot of people come into arb of a maturish age but there are still a lot of youngsters coming into the industry who do both college and tickets but don't get the benefit of working at the same time, i feel things need to change to this fine example of learning a trade tod notch D:thumbup:

When people buy a new harness do they take weight limits into play? for example i've just been watching a video on the treemotion and it says there is a 220lb weight limit which is only just under 16 stone? Are there many heavy climbers out there? i'm only 14st myself but it does make you think:001_huh:

Is that a bad thing? what i mean is, surely the tree industry is saturated at present and only getting worse. There are a lot of people out there who are very very good at their job, on boths sides ie hama/mr tree vs stephen blair/skyhuck and the like (only mentioning a few) but there are also i bet a lot of people who really shouldn't be doing this at all if the strongest survive as in darwins theory (is that right:blushing:) then surely that can only be a good thing from both a cutters and ecologists perspective preventative tree care is the way forward:thumbup:

I try to knock 10-15% off what the TO has requested (they are ridiculous amounts anyway, light under 33% - medium 34-49% and heavy 50%+) and if i get called back then i get called back but at least i tried! I always try to have a chat with the client and ask why they have a problem with the tree and try to make them see the benefits In the area i work in (lets just say it isn't really affluent) i have a 5-10% success rate:thumbdown: on changing peoples minds its going to be a long hard slog:thumbup: especially with the philistines i work with:lol:

think its a LA thing, we hardly ever get made a brew these days, occasionally the odd person asks if we're OK for drinks and do we want a cup, but very occasionally!
