I think he has good ideas, I have refined his guatamalan system and made it better.
I contacted a aid organisation in africa and offered to sponsor a bunch of kids to come live in my loving family. I was lucky to be able to pick myself up a bunch of kids that after a long violent civil war, are well versed in the use of a machette although they do have a drug dependancy which I as a keen business minded kind of guy, I can only see as a great advantage as they will always look to me for there vital needs.
So I have a dozen drug dependant machette weilding kids with alot of love and energy to give, so they all became my tree crew/tree cutting family.
These kids and there machettes have replaced nearly every bit of gear I own and gear I have wanted to own. I just have to point to something, shake a little bag of there favourite drug fix and those kids will hack to there hearts content until I tell them to stop or they just plum collapse from fatigue.Bless em.
They are wonderful, no need for saws, they chop everything so fine that everything is just mulch anyhow so my chipper has now retired, they are amazing and climbing on each others shoulders so with 12 of them being a bit over 4 foot high they are able to reach 48 feet!!! They are a little slow on stumps but boy can they climb like a jaguar is chasing them around the canopy!
I thought I had a pretty good system going until I noticed that on of the kids (or should I say young able arborists)that had temporarily fainted had woken and started to eat grass for some sustainance. The brilliant thought I had filled me with such joy I let him eat a good size patch down before I sent him back to clear the 11kv lines (rubber dish gloves and machette on long stick for safety). So I dont only offer tree work, we do lawn care!
Now these kids arent that quick but I found that if we left them on the job overnight one could get a lawn done providing he was hungry enough. They are so good I have the illegals here calling them hacks as obviously having a pick up, trailer and chainsaw is just overcapitalising when my guys are around!
Now I have seen the ads and done the maths, and the fact you can look after one of these kids with a dollar a day just cant be turned down by your competitively focused company owner. But things only got better. One of the kids while finishing off munching down a back lawn when he was suprised by a local kid taking a short cut between properties. My wired little lawn lover hacked him to tiny peices and thoughtfully spread him around the garden mixing him in with the freshly applied mulch. Which meant I had to charge the client more for blood and bone application but I had an all new way to better streamline and expand my operation. Neighbourhood Armed security.
Now late at night my clients sleep easy as these little slasher carrying professionals tend to the lawns and gardens while making sure the streets are safe and empty. They also clean up food scraps in the garbage and they have proven to me that in life as in business theres more than one way to skin a cat.
(which will help with them dealing with winter, once they learn what snow is Im sure they will be gems at moving it)
