Plas take it from me........nobody here is worried a bit about you guys taking work from them.

The comedy is largely a result of you and TreeManBen being comedians! Kind of like Saturday Night Fried....I mean..... Live!:)

Well they did say " never lose your sense of humour" but I have a feeling they were lying. Hey, how's your helper anyway? Got pics?
The thing is most people do start to smile at first but after a few minutes they realize that that can of BS is for them not me.
 
Cool, stay safe.

Thanks and I appreciate everybodies input in my thread. Plas asked me to teach him about tree work so I am ... even if its kill him... or somebody else... Hell i guess as long as it ain't me I don't really care.:greenchainsaw:

You know... out of the two statements you just made neither is true. I don't see IXT laughing.
 
What's up with the Victory Garden in your sig anyway TreeCo? Been meaning to ask that.

For some reason, believe it or not, you might rub me the wrong way but LXT REALLY goes against my grain...making you look like a kitten.




Hell don't kill TreeManPlas!

So we've got a lot of naysayers regarding this Poplar job, well maybe not "a lot" but one very prominent one without argument. I'm sure this is SOLELY because nobody wants to see The Dan get screwed, sued, and tattooed. Everybody here is looking out for The Dan's best interest and even mine to some extent. We must go through all the proper channels, go through the gov't created bureaucracy, cross the t's and dot the i's befose firing up a saw so you guys don't worry.

But, right after we come down off our acid trip, we quickly realize that nobody here gives a #### about anybody's welfare (business wise). It's all me me, I I. Oh no, look, this guy is cheating, he's taking away MY business. I, me myself and I, could have done that job and this hack, this weekend warrior, this guy with a day job and a steady income came in and took it from me. Desipte the fact that the US is a capitalist society, one that men died to create and still die to preserve each day, let's pretend its not. Let's keep everything FAIR, fair meaning me me, I, I get all the work, that's fair, I should get all the work without even trying, without having any type of competetive edge, no matter how crazy of an edge I have.

Whatever. Try to figure out who I am, cry to the local "authorities" (I hate that word) and tell them little Plas who does take-downs with a tree stand is taking your work one tiny piece at a time and it's not fair. You've been in this business a lot longer, infinitely longer than me, how dare I try to start something from scratch. This is what almost every negative post pertaning either directly or indirectly to me has been about from day one.

You rip on the Dan, say he's arrogant and what not. OK maybe he is. Maybe he has a little swagger. But did you ever think he might have earned it? He's capable of doing things that the VAST majority of people cannot do. Kinda like an airline pilot. I relate everything to aircraft by the way.

So in the future, instead of spamming up a post about 4 freaking poplar trees, frigging TREES man, just send me a PM telling me I'm an #######, I'm taking milk away from your baby, threaten to kill me, whatever. Save the forum a lot of bad reading.

Again this post only applies to a few people, not everybody.

And by the way, the chances of me ever representing any REAL financial threat to anybody in here is very slim and everybody knows that.

I don't think the guys in here are worried about you taking their business, Plas. The thing I've found on internet forums is that people like to brag...A LOT. There's guys on here that have an answer for everything when it comes to this #### but an experienced eye can discern who just read it in a book and is regurgitating it to make themselves appear more knowledgeable and who actually KNOWS it. Some guys see other companies toe the line on legitimacy and are quick to point the finger and shout from the rooftops about how up and up their biz is. Basically, don't worry 'bout the naysayers, do your duty, be thankful you have an excellent mentor and go cut some ####in' trees already.

As far as your comment on saving the forum from bad reading, I take exception because I think this thread's been an absolute hoot! :cheers:

Plas & Blakes, none of what im saying or what anyone else would tell you here is "NEW"

Plas, you started a thread some time ago titled "going rate for treeguy insurance" funny how some ask for advice on how to go legit, then in another thread talk totally different. I had the same type of posting crap with Blakes & his buddies when he first became a member!

In a neg rep comment Plas made a statement about rubbing me wrong, Plas, its not so much about rubbing me wrong & I understand what the "Dan" puts up with as far as competetiveness is concerned & how these types run their biz "almost" forcing us to do the same.....notice I said almost.

what rubs me wrong is those who come here, ask for advice while telling ya they know very little, then when you give them the cruel fact of the matter they get jacked! Blakes did the same thing....if you listened to his tales of biz empireship....him & his buddies had it down! the 2 of you come on this site wanting advice then go & do it your own way anyhow! thats what rubs me wrong!!

as far as the "trained eye" discerning things & those having an answer for everything...........what you have to realize is, there are the other types! those who wannabe, those who run illegitamately & those who in a few years wont be!!! I`ve done it the way you guys are doing it, then.....I saw the legal ramifications from doing it that way, through anothers loses!

hopefully the "trained eye" has enough of a brain? to make the change for the better!

Take care, Be safe!!!

LXT............

Good points LXT. keep in mind that most of us are pretty serious and are looking to improve and have started from the start. Don't let The Dan get your goat, he kinda pisses me off too.

LXT............

Well, LXT, you said some neat stuff there, a lot of which is true. People came down pretty hard on me when I first came on this site. Some did it to make themselves feel better and some did it constructively to either help me or help the professional appearance of our line of work. I appreciate those that helped not the ones who were just aholes. Because of the ones that helped I have built a 95% legitimate business with more equipment than some of the aholes that blasted me when I first started posting and take great pride in that. So yeah, I have a bit of a big head, lol.

It's all about how you come across, LXT. And, I'm sorry, you don't do it well. You may not intend it but your posts have a "holier than thou" tone which is irking to say the least. I don't know, maybe you drink too much coffee, I know I do.
 
I agree with treeco on the above post.

Lxt definitely makes some good points though...perhaps he should get TCIA accreditted next, really step up his game. :)
 
You come across as a great guy Blakesmaster! With some of the climbing and cutting techniques that you and Ben showed in that thread just make sure that your success is not short lived! ......Words chosen carefully...and I do mean short lived. People that have been in this biz for a while know that when someone shows a few bad techniques......that there are probably dozens more that the user is doing that they have no clue about. It catches up with many, may you be one of the lucky!

I enjoy these threads and am way over getting upset about sharp words tossed around by arborist. It comes from years on the fourms.

Tree Man Dan

I just wish you would give a little more than your standard one liners ( which are pretty dam good btw).
Go ahead, please, and re-post some of the cutting techniques you desribed above.
 
You commented on his one handing a large saw waist high off of a spar with lack of a hinge. If you want to find the photo and re-post go for it. It's the one that sticks out to me but I don't want to beat him up over it, mostly just pointing out that success can be short lived.

Treeman Dan

Not trying to start trouble, but let's see some pics of you working, TreeCo. Nothing whatsoever to do with this thread, I am just curious.

Treeman Dan

Sounds good and I think we have crossed that bridge and Blakes has made some changes. I was happy to work with Blakes and point that out for him, it was kinda scary.
Now, what's this? You want to be The Dan? Ok, seems only fitting but I got to tell ya, it comes with great responsibilty.
