Great reason to buy a stihl you can get it out of a tree you have got it stuck in easier 🤣🤣 a 395xp is just a superior saw stihl fans it's a fact [emoji16]

Pro’s and Con’s for being a self employed climber?
bigtreedon replied to KoalaArb's topic in Climbers talk
Contract climbing will definitely make you a better climber I did it for 14 years loved it still do a bit now I have my own trucks and chipper now and are doing more and more of my own work it's definitely set me in good stead contracting for so long climbing wise my skill set has been tested day in day out for years so normal day to day tree work is a nice break and not very challenging the new challenge is the pricing and the customers wanting the moon in a jar on every job I do miss the stress free life of contract climbing sometimes but I wouldn't go back to it full time financially it just wouldn't make sense I made good money as a contract climber what I could charge just Plato's and no matter how good u are or what kit u have u can only ask for so much so enjoy it while your fit and young get your skills to a high level then paddle your own canoe defo won't regret it -
Don't go proving your point to well the pro immigration camp won't like they will just resort to calling you a troll

Love this why does everyone go on about if you like lifting heavy weights it's all about ego how sad I have been into strength sports since I was 13 and it's been my only other interest than tree climbing since the same age when I decided what I wanted to for a living if it was running and trying to be the best runner I could be and achieve good track times would that be ego driven or just a love for a sport

Hey joe my size is a disadvantage in everything other than big saws in the tree and cutting and holding big buts which to be honest is something I try stay away from prefer rigging I no wear stated my size was better for tree work I said even though I am heavy I still get it done in a timely fashion often allot faster than smaller lads I have found I read the tree cos of my size and usr my energy efficiently not scurrying up and down needlessly use good rigging big bits and try and stay away from tip pruning [emoji6]

Well said 🖒

Ha ha oh dear there was nothing arsey about what i said and on the full man comment I was referring to myself when I don't train I feel half the man it's a feeling that after years of training you feel great when u do and terrible if u don't
-
I would rather be a full man for a shorter life than half a man for a longer one [emoji6] oh and on the technical dead trees over targets I am well practised and I haven't had to say in twenty sorry I am to heavy for this one [emoji23] and on the big dogs front have you noticed how relaxed and content they are because they don't suffer from small dog syndrome [emoji16]

I can climb take down a tree and work on the ground considerably faster than most of the guys I have worked with being big has nothing to do with it and as for being to muscular it's a bit like saying some one is to rich there is no such thing big is best [emoji41] 190kg close grip
-
Treat yourself to a 540xp [emoji6]

I no it's easier said than done mate but I try my hardest to only think about the tree and the job in hand while u are cutting and climbing the only saw related accident I have had in twenty years was when my mind was on my other half we had a really bad argument end she said she was leaving and taking my little girl with her I had finished the tree I was reducing and when doing the last cut I one handed the saw not thinking wear my left hand was and followed through and got the back if my left hand the cut looked much worse than it was but I learned that day to try my best to not take distractions going in my head up the tree with me hope u heal quick mate
