    if there aint enough monney on the job then put more monney on the quote:confused1: isnt that the way it works? the wya i always think of it if someones ont he ground and cant rescue then how would they feel wacthing someone potential die up a tree. rock and trees are pretty different

    I thought it did? i was no way implying that i was saying exp AND quals means you can make your own decisions about work practices maybe it all comes out wrong on the web:001_smile:

    not sure the point im trying to get across is difficult to express on the interweb you get an old school climber for instance who has bad habbits annd post some pics on his work on here for instance or works with someone who likes things perfect. so everyone jumps on a band wagon and slags the bloke off yet he is exp and qualifed in the tasks he undertakes.
  13. Frankie Lawrence
    again i relise that came across wrong hence the '' marks
  14. Frankie Lawrence
    yeah i do agree i should of maybe been a bit clearer on my post i didnt mean litterally just qualified.
  15. Frankie Lawrence
    wacth that space I have heard of quite a few blokes awaiting it thinking it could be a new competitor.
  16. Frankie Lawrence
    alot of people take to much of an interest in what others do in this industry. ie there working practices I worked with an 'old school' climber that used to un clip completley when changing over his choice not mine so none of my bussiness. IMO once through your nptcs its down to you to make decisions as a 'qualified' arborist and its down to that person alone and not for others to preach.

    haha we have a home thing called the bag o matic its pretty hard to describe ill get a picture of it next time im bagging i do some most evenings
  21. Frankie Lawrence
    i started doingh work experience once a week with my boss owrked for free and got paid very little on satyrdays now im an apprentice earning little and working all hours gods sends evening weekends etc i think im pretty well in with my boss and ive only got groundie tickets he told me that before you climb you have to show you can work on the ground and do the crappy jobs then you get the 'right to learn'. Old school climbers have big egos even now the ones ive met only care about getting the tree down and making them selves look the hero but then young climbers are more nervous and often to slow and some ive noticed who have not put in the hours on the ground dislike getting stuck into the dragging and the chipping and would rather stand and wacth. as usual this isnt aimed at everyone im just saying fgrom my experience
  22. Frankie Lawrence
