You don’t need liability insurance, it’s on him. As for how much he made on the job, it’s irrelevant ‘picker don’t ask the price of cotton’

Eat potato chips when you feel it coming on.

I should qualify, that isn’t using a properly modded exhaust, just me and a 1/2 inch drill getting medieval!

Aforementioned crispy oak. Made lots of nasty noises.

Incorporation seperates personal assets from business assets. Stratum Insurance is cheap with slow customer service. I currently insure with Washington Contact Loggers' Association in Olympia, through their residential side. Bonding is commonly required, and license(s), too.

Climb with them in the tree.

Contact climber rates are for experienced contract climbers who can handle a lot, often with the help of poorly trained general contractor's employees.

Don't expect any insurance coverage out of anyone except your legit boss or yourself.

Anything and everything. You can buy a grip exerciser set inexpensively. A rubber band on the fingers and thumb is an extensor exercise. Pull ups and hanging. Stretching. Hydration and electrolytes.

You guys got any tips or specific exercises I can do to help build my endurance in my arms? I’m only able to climb 1 day a week right now and it’s really frustrating when I’m trying to get some work done when my biceps and forearms start cramping up on me. 2 days a week I’m sitting at the house...

Anyone have any experiences to add from the last few years?

Not currently no, he said he did but i think that was a lie. My insurance for my lawncare is lapsing in about a month and im going to add tree work onto it.

My tree company friend told me $400 to $700 a day as a contract climber. That's a day rate and not hourly. I'm currently looking for insurance so that I can get that money. 8) I have similiar story as I "helped" my friend, meaning "I did all the work", take down a good size black walnut in...

I did just that and it didn't lead me anywhere. Figured it would be a simple thing as there are contract climbers. They have to have something. Someone told me "Call around" but was hoping for some direction here. Also to SeanKroll I know nothing about the business side of things. How would...

Huh, Idk never had any issues like that and I use that saw I’d say 80% of the time, but i don’t climb full time usually just 1-2 times a week right now. I really like the Egan pipe on the 2511 tho, so much that I got one for my 261, boy was that a mistake 😂😂 I would feel bad using that thing on...

So this past weekend I got “hired” to “help” a guy with a couple tree jobs. I’m slow right now so I messaged some people I saw advertising tree services letting them know I could help them on saturdays and that I had my own equipment. The guy showed up in a ford focus packing 2 saws in his...

i know this post is old but husky makes a roller guide for the .325 mini and it has a depth gauge on it as well, i use it on it and the Oregon version with good success

Yeah same, on the handle. Still happens. At least to me, even burnt a little skin on my stomach.

i have no issues with that, but i rack it on the handle, much faster an it pretty much stays put, no flopping around.

…and this 5 footer down Pics don’t do it justice.
