Aye, got a pair of chainsaw trousers after a month and then an old saw and they paid for my chainsaw tickets and could take as much firewood as I wanted. I found experience in this industry is worth a lot when your just starting.

There's a difference between offering to work for free and working for free. Any decent employer would give you something in exchange, not always money could be old kit, training course, firewood. However if someone phoned me up asking for work but had no quals and no experience and wanted paid I'd be reluctant.

Put all your spare money into courses, then get a hold of local companies and get some experience which is worth as much as tickets. Offer to work for free and hope to get paid when you get better.

A lot of people in tree work seem to think you can pop up a few cones or signs and if people walk through them it's the publics fault. I've news for you it's not! It's your fault for not putting better measures in place.

Some boy phoned from Perth but never bothered sending a quote. I've got my own MOG just not got a winch on her. It looks like for the cost of hiring someone I could buy a winch

There was a road and a load of saplings the other side that meant everything would have to of been rigged down. With the weight all over the cliff it would have been too dangerous to allow a groundie anywhere near the stem without being tied in. Which would have been nightmare safety wise and practically.
