The tool allowance idea was interesting... have you done that in the past? If so, how well does it work? Would you say it gives your workers something to shoot for?

I just started letting one of my groundies use a chain saw the other day. Went over all the ins and outs that he needs to know for now, put some Stihl chaps on him, gloves, etc, all the ppe. Demonstrated, then watched him do it... kept a close eye on him. It's nice to see someone grinning at doing something right, especially when they're a bit older than I.
I'm letting him use the new Poulan that someone gave me... at least then if he messes it up I'll still have all my good saws working.

The quality of groundies around here is pretty lame... I'd like to train another climber, but that's out of the question at the moment.
