Levi, HST's Fear and Loathing in LV is one of the most well written books ever, imo.
Cory: Maybe not (in answer to what you asked) but I do think that all successful tree guys work like that. Everyone that I've ever met, that is.
Well the good thing about working for yourself doing tree work is that clock watching is inverted. Instead of looking at the clock to see if the day is done I look at the clock in the hope that there is still enough time to do more work. This seems much better than spending most of your life waiting for the end of days.
I spent most of my youth travelling the world, working my way around.
It meant I never got to go to university, but as I'm happy as a clam doing what I do, who cares? ( Well, my mom did, but that is another story)

This is at the far end of the other side of the scale. It is hard for me to imagine a life lived better than the one that you gave yourself, Stig. I'm really, really happy for you.
And to Matthew, I'm really happy for you, too. You are very fortunate to have found something that you love doing so much, at such a young age. Stay safe and enjoy the journey. Best wishes,
Tim
Unless you build more value into the company with intent to sellGross receipts doesn't mean squat. If you Gross $1M, and profit $50...
I'd rather take home $xx,xxx company profit out of $100,000, than out of $600,000.
Net.
Most tree people wouldn't be motivated by such a plan. If they would be, they're more likely to get their own name on the door of their own truck. The more grunt they are, the less they will be motivated.

Who is "them"?
I'd have said the same thing....until I started using them.
It's not so much about pushing the limits of your rigging. ..more about making the best of the situation. When I'm about to catch the top of a sketchy tree, its good to know I have things in my favor. So there's less likely hood of a mishap across the board. The spider jack use was the best analogy I could come up with. Doesn't matter to me who likes em and who doesn't. I'm just sharing my experience, that's all.
It should be: tophopper, Brendonv, Lumberjack, Adam P, RangerDanger and Stig.
They all have a deep hatred of me. I must have scared them deeply. .
