It did and I'm sorry it went that way. I'd love to go full time but the market isn't there. I'll just conclude to say I'm glad that his attitude is gone and that the rest of us can continue to gain knowledge from one another as opposed to splitting the group. Full timers should be a source that us part timers can gain knowledge from. To put us down as dirty did was wrong. We all go up in the tree and face the same dangers. Just because one person does it more than another doesn't make him better.
For the record I have no issue with how many hours a week ANYONE puts in. Ask my crew and they will tell you I am a slack arse when it comes to hauling brush but I am the first up a tree when it is dangerous.
That aside I am here to learn and to share what little I know. I value the input of seasoned hands like OD and hope that he comes back after a little vacation with some more wild crane stories and pics.
