The person you will be learning from next year, do they have many years of experience, or one year of experience many times? There is a big difference. The 3 most dangerous guys that I have ever seen run a saw all have been working in the industry for decades longer than I have. Now that I think about it, they have taught me lots.

I have to admit that there are not too many palms in Wisconsin. I have never climbed a palm in my life, so I wont even claim to have the slightest idea what its like working on them.

I really dont want to come across like a jerk. Its just that I have seen first hand what running saws do to skin and muscle and it is not a pretty picutre. I sincerely hope that everyone in this industry remains safe and gets to go home to their families every night.
