  17. I already do some of my own mick I unfortunately live in a area that is saturated with tree company's and they all run around doing work for f all so other than moving wear I live which my other half and children aren't up for at all I have found mixing contract climbing and doing my own stuff the best way but I should push my own work for definite it's something that's been on my mind more and more recently paddle own as I remember someone saying 😉 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. What one can get away with is not always the best way though I personally don't think I have thousands of pounds in saws and kit but it depends on what my client on the day needs from me if they are a small outfit with minimal kit I can supply everything's from saws to bollards ropes rigging kit if it's crane work sena head sets but all this alters my price if u only need a climber to Cum top a hedge or run round a tree with a hand saw doing 10% reductions then yes minimum kit is fine if u have all ur own kit as a company and just need a lad to do the climbing then again price can be altered and my stuff can stay home but personally I like my saws they are sharp run correctly and my lowering kit I no everything I will need to remove a tree I have and I trust it not got nicks in ropes or they forgot whatever it is u need when u are half way through the tree that's only my opinion though 🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
