Re: Why are you in the tree business? I do it because of my need to be outside, I almost can't stand to be in the house at night with the windows closed.
I like the technical aspects of the work, rigging, climbing.
I've been fascinated with rope all my life.
And not much compares to running a 660 50 ft. in the air.
I like both the solitude and the camaraderie of the trade.
The rush when blowing out a big top.
The tranquility of pruning for weeks with just a sugoi.
I like that the work is hard and demanding, And that it's honest.
I sleep well at night because of it.
I'm in the tree business because I could never do anything else and not feel my soul die a small portion everyday.
I'm in the tree business because I love it. |
