I thought you had:? What are you doing?? Seems like there are always management positions in TCIA magazine. oh yeah, keep looking, they are out there. I got my job when I was fed up with my old employer and quit to go back to school to get more edjumicated...

I agree with this post 1000%. I LOVED climbing full time, but a salaried management position is much more stable. Funny thing is, you and I are the same age, I think late 20's early 30's is when the tough decisions have to be made about one's future. I was fortunate enough to land a job that...

I think you misunderstood. I started this thread because I think its GREAT that people get paid to promote. Where do you read otherwise??

I dunno, he seems to be leading my informal poll........:D Personally I think it's awesome that the top people in the industry are getting paid to promote. I came up idolizing the guys in tree mags, wanted to check in on the treehousers thoughts. I thought it was a harmless enough question...

Not sure if they still do. Probably pretty busy with the Arbormaster stuff. They worked around here for a long time, Rip sold his co (Barkbusters) to another excellent climber who won the NETCC a few times. I hear lots of stories about these guys, met Mark once, never met Beddes.

True, he's also probably VERY busy. If someone asked him to appear on one of his few days off, he would probably command a very high rate.

Tried to get him for a grand opening of a saw shop. Not sure if it was through Stihl or not. I honestly wasn't suprised by that figure at all. Whatever the market will bear, right?

I like the logic. Ken and Rip both have been (or are) Husky poster children. Sampson ropes, buckingham saddles. I was asking because I am not sure if guys like this were endorsing products before ken+rip. Hoping some of the older guys could shed some light on the subject for me.

Ummm no. endorsements/sponsorships, personal appearances. I can't help but notice a cynical tone in your posts. Are you suffering from peepeeinthecheerios syndrome?:)

I heard from a reliable source that Mark C gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 15k to make an appearance for a day, not including travel and lodging....... I bring it up because I've heard so many older guys around here talk s#!t about how Ken + Rip weren't necessarily the best, just good at...

Something I've been wondering about for a while. Who do you guys figure has made the most endorsement $$ as a tree climber? A short list off the top of my head: Ken Palmer Rip Tompkins Mark Chisholm Bernd Strausser These guys stick out because I've seen them in chainsaw adds as well as...
