I just seen an "urgent post" on the ISA website. The ISA says Nosak Raw will be showing on Discovery Channel soon. They r asking all professional arborists to protest this programming. Please all of U, email Discovery channel: "Nosak Raw" does not display the education, skill, or even the proper tools to be considered appropriate for educational programming.

could all the envious winners please get on the bus and leave.

Before all you winny certed guys jump down my throught. Somebody please put up there own money and make a true reality show about a professional tree company.I dont agree with most of this guys un safe practices or the whole shock value he is trying to produce.I look at this and ask myself is it possible for me to overload a Crane,yeah, has it happened yet? Yup once or twice. Have we ever had something go south on one of our jobs,yeah we've screwed up a few times through the years(lucky a camera wasnt around). Have we ever violated OSHA or ANSI, I have to admit yes(i probably broke em all if you go back over a 23+ year career) and I know the rules (lucky a camera wasnt around). It took me a while to progress, 23+ years and I still brake rules and screw up sometimes. Do I try to do it as habit? No. I try to set a good example and follow safe work pratices but occasionally I may forget or deviate because I think another way is safer. Or I just might have to get a job done by myself once in blue moon(im pretty sure thats against ohsa). I guess I havent forget where I came from. There was a time when I thought I knew it all and was Gods gift to tree climbing. Wait I still belive that. The guys I train start out with the best equipment and training and dont have to follow my journey(probably like alot of you young guys on here). But I wasnt that fortunate so I guess I feel in debted to treat others the way I want to be treated. Maybe Nosak just doesnt know any better,dude was a roofer who saw some potential to make money cutting trees. I run into guys like that all the time aroung here and try to share some of my knowledge. It really makes an impression on the "comp" when you try help them progress. When you start a tree company the state doesnt hand you a packet with ansi, osha and a footlocking prussik(at least not here)nor do you get it by osmosis. You have to learn it on your own cause most of your comp doesnt stop and hand out tidbits. Usaully a another person has to make an effort to help you. Nosak funding this whole reality show project with 200,000.00 of his money. Before I put others down or during I have tendency for self examination and to see where I stand-Try It sometime.

I have to admit that these where pretty much someone eles words I changed some lines, but it carries my feels all the way.

As for mailing and crying to TLC and Discovery. Why? The guy must have great self promotion skills and I for one wont hold his show against him. I've seen guys on these type of forums do far worse work than what he's doing.

I will though use it to my full power of selling my work, like saying if you think he's good mama wait till you see us work.

:Eye: think a few people in here followed BB1 :monkey:
 
and it dawned on me. It doesn't matter. I don't think you'd get the point anyway.

Please elaborate. Feel free to pm if you feel it'd start a bicker. It's this same styrotype that makes most CA's look foolish. In your eyes I'm a big dumb smuck cuase I aint on the ban wagon to totally remove this guy from the lime light.

nosak raw

i'll be honest. i don't give a rats ass about nosak. i don't even own a television anymore. i browse the internet for information. but my late night entertainment for TV was swapped for a Jotul woodstove and a copper Tabby by the name of "Rock Star". I won't be watching "saw for hire". I get enough excitement. Maybe Nosak has money. But I've got money too.
