    gloves

    speak for yourself!
  2. i started off just over a year ago as a (very part time) brash dragger, qualified at the start of this summer and now having more fun than ever! i love tree work and couldn't see myself doing anything else! if you are wanting to swap trades i would recommend the 10 week intensive course - that way you can get qualified, with a good understanding of the trade in a very short time. 7 out of the 10 people that were on my 10 week course came from a different career and there were 4 of them over the age of 30. go for it, you won't look back.
  3. just wing it, you'll be fine!
