AA, I would more than gladly come out & help/teach you! two things though #1 I have not been cleared by the Doc for intensive climbing, I do what I can & am building up to it......#2 $200 for the day, um....have to pass on that, I made $300.00 just helping out a buddy in bloomfield Friday & all I did was show up with the 5 ton dump & let his crew load it up with some bricks from when they cut out 2 openings for doors!
What you have to understand is not every one goes out to work with a camera/video device to film themselves, I have taken still photos just to show the Tow behinds in action & where they can be put, If I wanted to I could take pics/vids but honestly find it a distraction........Im out there to work!! not worried about filming my self.......however some on here have given advice, write articles & think they are the tree law..........those are the ones who should put up something worth a dam!!
Why you are calling out Mike is a little wierd, he is one I would consider the real deal!!!! you were doing good posting, Now you seem to have slipped back to your old posting ways? Not to be ignorant to you........but you, your crew & those that help you are not well known to many in the tree community, Matt is a rising star & treemergency.....I might know or have a mutual friend in the trade that knows us both.
I have done my time in the saddle & have made my mark, I have furthered my education to a point where I am more on the IT side of tree work, DRG, Dupont, First Energy, Duquesne Light.......Parks service Consulting & many other vegetation Management positions................here is where the future & Money is IMO, however.........you have to of been top tier in your trade, educate yourself, have out of state commendations (not A-List), be recommended by your peers (former CEO of DQE) & so on.... When you get to this point let me know....... & we can talk! till then Take Care & Be Safe....
