i enjoy being in trees too. Feels much safer hanging about in a tree than using scaffold and ladders while building. I find my back pains disappear as well. just wish legs wouldnt shake so much. Only climbed a few for fun but wanna do it properly and get paid for something i enjoy for a change..... would never give up on property maintenance all together but the more skills you have the better. Need to do tickets soon though COS MY LOG PILES RUNNING VERY LOW !!

gotta agree with above.. 3 weeks with no work and all the niggling pains are creeping back again... need to do some digging methinks !!

wish i had some tickets... only 30 mins away and work really quiet at moment.

just click on his name and the options are there...: i,m a newbie too just gotta keep clicking and find your way around..

cheers for that. got save a few pennies and do 30/31 first so should be pretty confident by then !

thanks for that glad im not the only one !! they must see it all the time.. I'll just keep finding taller trees to practice in till i get more confident.. good luck with your cs39. jim

just out of interest [decided i'm gonna get myself qualified this year] how high do you usually climb for your cs 38/39. i've climbed in past to about 40ft and got bad case of disco leg !!!! i know it only needs boundary pushing but one step at a time.

till i came on this forum i hardly knew about all the training required. I only realised recently when i read through my public liability documents carefully that i'm not covered for tree work of any kind. I can demolish a 3 storey building but cant cut a tree down?? i've had no demolition training either but still insured for that. I dont consider myself an expert with a chainsaw just learnt over the years how to be safe while using. I've only ever felled a few small trees in gardens i've maintained and cut logs from fallen timber for my woodburner. I dont consider myself the have a go hero type , thats why i was asking whether people think its worth getting certs for someone my age. i have a big mortgage so dont want an uninsured accident. the general opinion seems to be to go for it so it looks like i need to save some pennies,get my certs then some kind soul on here could possibly give me a little experience. thanks for your comments and all the best for 2013

gotta be worth a few phone calls. Thanks

Is that through lack of work around or just because you dont enjoy? almost £1500 for certs at moment is a lot of money to me. I enjoy working with trees but struggling with spending that kind of money if it cant be recouped

so you'd consider it money well spent ?

been advised to go for cs certs so i can do tree work legally ! I'm 45 years young now, been using chainsaws for about 20 years. I've been very lucky and been accident free. No certs no insurance so would like to be able to do the odd tree knowing im covered just in case. My question is as per title as i know tree work is considered a young mans game. Can you ever be to old to learn ? HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL

didnt mean to stir up hornets nest on first post. Had a pm offering to do the job if they still want it doing.... still confused though cos i can use an axe to cut it down but not chainsaw???????????? as regards to me getting cs qualifications i'm 45 years old and it seems big expense for something i may never use and at my age i dont think i would get many job offers with little experience. Think i'll be leaving it to the pros from now on !! thanks forall the replies Jim
