I’m just starting out in the tree game, can anybody recommend any good books or literature for education, thanks in advance guys [emoji1417]

Yeah they do, they have a vacancy board on the outside of the building, I’ve seen a few vacancies for plumbers and joiners, kind of sad to hear they’re liquidating, would have liked to work there if the opportunity ever came up with it being so local, I guess not now haha
-
2 minutes away from where I live this, I don’t know wether they’re liquidating or renewing stock, they’ve also got a mog, 3 tonne digger and chipper they’re selling

What about gay couples with children, who’s supposed to stay home then? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Great thread silky, I just accidentally came across your chipper video on YouTube, I was looking at the predator 1390xp on there and clicked on a video, not until the end when you spun the camera around and I saw your mush haha great videos too [emoji1417]

Really love seeing the updates on this thread, I’d love to do some travelling and work in some of these locations, jealousy creeping in now haha, Is this how you normally operate? As in work wherever and see the sights

I’ve got an American bulldog, soft as anything (just not too keen on cats) he could probably pull a small trailer, when he’s not sleeping haha

We haven’t “met” on here yet, haha, but I’m enjoying watching this thread, keep up the good work and great pictures [emoji1422]

That’s my next step I think, this is definitely my future career I can’t see myself anywhere else now haha, think I’ve caught the bug, thanks for the advice Andy

hey guys im basically brand new to the arb game, I've had a few months working with the local council, im currently saving money to get my tickets sorted, I am just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to let me come and work for you for a couple of days, for free, in Manchester, just to get some valuable onsite experience, im not bothered even if you want me out of the way, I just want to immerse myself to try and learn as much as possible, I have some PPE and a silky so can help trim on the ground and clean up, I can make a good brew as well ( or if you could put me in touch with someone that could help) thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the offer nepia, I have ordered the 390 so I wouldn’t be able to make use of it, but really do appreciate that, not been on here long but already loving the community feel

@Arob after a little browse on honey brothers last night, ended with me spending £180 I've now got a silky zubat coming, a petzl vertex chipper spec and some stein hi-viz t-shirts coming, I thought I may as well get the good stuff if im going to do it, im going to need that spec helmet when I go in for my cs 38/39 so why not ha-ha.
-
yeah honey brothers and Gustharts are probably my favourite websites right about now haha, I've got a few sets of waterproofs so should be good there, I have had some previous experience with the local council, that's what got me right interested! now I've caught the bug
-
im currently working at a housing firm as a caretaker and am not enjoying it if im honest, I do have around 12 days paid holiday that id be willing to use, im going to make some calls to local firms and see if I can get something bagged and will be buying a saw, would a lid be advisable also if im on-site
-
thanks Arob, I wasn't sure where to post this to be honest, I would be able to do a couple of days work for nothing but I don't know whether to do that before I get my certs or wait until after I've got some tickets as I may be more use, I just want to be there now with anyone that will give me the opportunity, im always watching informational videos on YouTube, trying to learn about tree id, rigging techniques, different cuts, maintenance of saws chains ETC. im just trying to immerse myself ha-ha and loving it, I just need to get on site!
-
thank you for your advice I going to have a look on these now!

hey guys I have been interested in becoming an arborist for some time now, working with my local council has confirmed this for me now, im just wondering could anyone suggest what I should be doing right now, im trying to gain all of the knowledge I need before my NPTC assessments, such as felling techniques and using different kinds of equipment and tree identification, I haven't yet booked my courses as im saving for them, also would you advise work experience with a local firm? I live in Manchester and would love any onsite work that anyone had, even just to stand well out of the way and ask a couple of questions, so just advice generally for a very keen brand new to the industry 23 year old, thank you in advance, ste!
