Yup, last season of this, and I mean it this time! I bought too many trucks and too much gear to back out now. Only stuff I'm lacking at this point is a chipper and mini skid loader, which will come in time for sure.

They seem to be. One of the companies I sub for has one and it is very impressive for what it is, as is the dogged out beater that I rent from time to time. I just need to cut a few more trees down and I'll get one.

It won't be anything that nice LOL. I'm leaning towards 2005ish brush bandit 250XPs. Not the biggest chipper out there but would be perfect for what kind of work I typically do.

I hate it and won't be doing it next year. I started off as a climber for a company, then only did contract climbing, then hired some part time guys to do my own work three days a week, as of now I have the gear, customer base, and trucks minus a chipper to go full bore on my own soon, but...

This is an issue I hit. 3 days a week I have my guys. 4 days a week I have literally no idea who I'm working with until morning of. Somedays it is experienced tree guys, other days it is a landscaper crew who gets work off craigslist. Makes it hard to bite the $1,500 comms bullet.

That's what I'm hoping for. I can certainly see improved safety but the big thing for me will be efficiency. I only have two grounds guys and am pretty light on equipment as I'm just getting going, so everything I buy has to do something to make stuff go faster. They are pretty close to next on...

I think they might be worth it. After smacking myself in the side of the head a few weeks ago with the snap on a 5/8 steel core I don't think I'll mind the side impact protection. As far as the blue tooth system goes I'm looking forward to that more so than the helmets themselves. I had a chance...

I use the same helmet you have in your avatar. It's not the worst, but I am upgrading to the fancy helmets with blue tooth as soon as I'm able. Unfortunately I have a truck down needing a major repair, another truck needs tires, and I have some other gear I need more at the moment, or I would do...

Thank you for sharing. I am always looking for real world experience to draw on for safety briefs so I will be stealing this. I'm glad you are ok and hopefully you posting this will help safe someone else that maybe hasn't had it happen to them yet. Do you have pictures of the helmet?
