Acetree I think you are doing the right thing asking for help although it seems your skin is a bit thin for tree work. Don't take it so personally this beating is nothing compared to what's ahead for you in the tree. The first time you spin a hung up top of an aspen out and it kicks back and knocks the heck out of you and you ear is bleeding and your eye is half swollen shut (you discover this after you realize you in fact are not knocked out or dead) and you still have six trees to climb, that is the self taught type of lesson you never forget. Its not what you know you don't know that will get you its what you don't know you don't know. Cheer up man you asked a question from a bunch of tree climbers not customer service reps. :chainsawguy:

Lil brother, Be safe man. It could all gone in the blink of an eye...
And for God's sake, you want to bid and perform tree work, while
asking the guys who's bread and butter you're sneaking off the table for advice????

Mic687 makes a good point here. Acetree2000, you need to be a sponge and SUCK IT ALL in. This business swallows guys who are thin skinned.:agree2:

Best advice I ever recieved was 'If you dont feel comfortable, your doing something wrong'. #2 was, when in doubt, rope it out. Sorry about the arm mate, reminds me of a 'saturday' I had a few months back , minus the stitches. only I got both arms. Ask Slayer what saturday means if your intrested.

repost: 5 easy steps to becoming a climber
He may have been chased away, but I'll repost this advice from another thread:
1). Get a job with a reputable Tree Service as a brush hauler and groundie.
1a). Become the best groundie they have, work harder than any other.
2). Learn to handle and care for the ropes, do this when others sit down.
2b). Become the best rope man they have, a climber will want you.
3). Watch everything your climber does, talk to him, gain his respect.
3b). 50% of being a great climber is to have a great rope man.
4). get your basic gear to climb, offer to set ropes, retrieve shot bags, anything to use your gear. Climb trees in your off time so you won't look so awkward when you get your shot. When your climber thinks you are ready he will offer you a tree (most likely a simple Pine). Do it fast and safe.
4b). Don't do damage or cause injuries to yourself or crew.
5) repeat steps 1 ~ 4 as needed until you start looking for a good rope man.

Purchase the tree climbers companion.
attend all the seminars you can asking every dumb question you can think of
find job with a CA and pick his brain all you can
Stay at it five years before deciding if its worth the plunge
I wish that would have been my approach !

Once I was given some rhyming advice...
not so good "cut it small and let it fall"
"Onto their rotten fence and replace it? Get the ####ing rope over here!" was my retort.
And the arm healed fine, snagged a tendon but it's all healed now.
