Hello. Im really keen to get into tree surgery and arboriculture but, alot of you will probably laugh at this and think what an idiot, but I have trouble with climbing. I had a go with a mate that is qualified and it seems every time I get to two or three times my height I get nervous and a bit apprehensive. Its not that im scared of heights because ive always been able to stand on balconys and go on chair lifts stuff like that no problem. I think its got something to do with trusting the equipment. Did anyone else have this sort of problem? Is it normal? I really dont want to give up because of this Im hoping I can get over it. I must be able to? Any help id really appreciate. Cheers.

What will I need other than equipment??

Hi everyone, im new to the site. I joined because im trying to get into this area of work. I work in construction already and I was thinking of setting up my own business at the weekends doing small stuff like brush clearing, hedge trimming and small tree removal (IE trees that dont require climbing). Then get a job with a firm and train up then gradually expand my business. Do you think that kind of business idea 2 days a week would produce an alright amount of work? Ive been looking around the site and I know about qualifications, tax's, insurance all the other stuff I need to consider. Any tips or ideas i would welcome it! Thanks alot.
Cant believe im asking this...
