Cheers joe. The climbers are really good aswel so i will learn alot them and their giving me plenty of climbing practice . I thought steve was trying to patronize me unless ive missed something , which by the sounds of it i have. Anyway thanks for the advice.
-
Great advice for doing things quicker . I Think the council would have something to say if i did that to a tree that was down as a general prune though haha
-
Hahaha whatever pal

Its hard to tell on here if people are being sarcastic because there are some idiots out there
-
If i did that id be getting my P45. We are a team and everything we do is to help one another . Im being taught to do things the exact opposite to what you have suggested but i know other people do things differently so each to their own.
-
Thanks for the advice everyone
-
Thanks i got told the same thing about having too much confidence can lead to accidents or things going wrong

I have just over 1 years climbing experience and started a new job 1 month ago as a trainee climber. The work we do is for the council so we have daily targets that we have to meet. I have been told that my climbing is ok but i need to gain speed. They understand that it comes with time and they want me to do things right and safe for now but i still need to improve. The guys who are training me are great and full of experience and have already given me advice on how things are done and what i need to do to improve. I just thought id come on here to get other climbers advice and tips on how to become a good climber. Thanks

Yes IMO. the guy i worked with had both and i would choose the 395 over the 660 any day but each to their own. I prefer any husky saw over stihl to be honest
-
395 all the way . less vibration, more power, most comfortable IMO

A spindle tree Euonymus europaeus. ( thats a guess but looks pretty similar to me)
-
yea its a tough one mate. just keep looking and putting yourself out there and im sure something will come up
-
after reading that id say your best off finding an employer. if your in debt how are you going to afford a driving license, van, other equipment etc? even if you cant find an employer within this trade find something else to fund what you need to get started. hope it works out for you pal.
-
You need equipment to do it ( obviously ) ,transport and i way of advertising like people have mentioned and insurance. Try grass cutting aswel because that is a good way to get your name out there. I know a guy who started mowing peoples lawns . Hes built that up over the years and now runs a successful tree and lawn care business but he got his name out there through grass cutting.

Ah So it comes from the UK then. And there is us blaming it on Holland haha -
Interesting. The name suggests it comes from holland and every tree man ive spoke to says it came from holland in the 70's and 80's but ive just found out that it was first recorded in france in 1918 and that it reached the UK from Canada in the early 60's. Its only called Dutch elm disease because the Dutch were the ones that did research on it to find out what it is. You learn something new every day.
