Howdy everybody,
Nick, 33, Upstate NY.
Well simply said, God opened my eyes earlier this year and is still helping me see that a life working outdoors is how I will do the most good. I turned my gardening hobby that started this year into a business launch which quickly became classic lawn care, fall cleanup, gutter cleaning, snow-blowing, and now I'm adding my favorite....TREES. I always loved climbing as a kid, even as a teen, smoked a couple J-birds in them high branches, got older and found myself in trees again...don't know how I didn't think of this as a career beforehand!
Anyway, I'd love some advice to best set me up for the most success as an arborist. Any recommendations on course work, seminars, actual school, etc. ? I'm in this 100%.
Also, any advice on equipment? I wanted to try and stick American but we know there's few and far between...so I'm thinking STIHL since they're so highly rated. I'd love some feedback.
Fun Fact: My first job the other day, I gave the Ego 20" a shot and got it stuck (haha).
Hangin' in there,
Nick
