I worked with a guy from France (worked together in Canada) and he went back home and got his own contracts there. I also know someone who plants in Norway as well. And I think brinkman used to plant in Costa Rica. hey quote=treeguy how have you been by anychance could you give the contact of this ...

What company is represented by this Wright Holdings corporation is it a new kid in the block or in representation of some older company I have been mostly focus on European tree planting not so much Canadian last 2 years.
Thanks for feedback in advance.

Not so great news it seems Viberg has stop shelf manufacturing for their workboot models, given the father is retiring. I sure they will still do orders, if you ask nicely has long as the father is working there.

"Good company, shorter season, good prices, technical planting, motel show, older crowd. Relatively hard to get on with, I think? I wish I'd chosen them over Torrent, but the shorter season and technical scared me off. I was an idiot." Yeah I did exactly the same, this year but with nature...

These last two bids are interesting. Typically, bid prices tend to rise gradually (as an overall trend, not consistent on an individual basis) as the bidding season progresses from September to December. Yet the last two contracts in Fort St James include the lowest bids on a per-tree basis that we...

Has of May 2022 in Fort St.James the word out there is that Peter Horak sold all his equipment because of some political charged drama (not sure if there is any substance there or not, havent look into it). So it seems Artisan no longer is in activity (also did not see any bids for artisan this year...

_I3^RELATIVISM

Almost done with spring trees this year with nature's, good company and overall decent prices, definitely much better then all the big ones (aka rookie mills) out there. I enjoy very much the people in camp, they seem to attract a very good crowd, a lot of cool and grounded people, from different ba...

_I3^RELATIVISM

Any update on the bags idea? Seams like your project didnt went foward. I manufactured a set of bags with expanded recycled plastic composite fabric (UHMWPE/Dynema, DSM proprietary name) including some modifications to standart design (infabric flager stop so no need to reload, 4 baggers, flagger cu...

hey @scooter ounce again, Thanks for the the reply, as for facebook I have a quite biased view on that given dont really support or get used (be a user) by that monopolistic organization. Regardeless I would be happy to help icentivize push this vision foward. I will also be mostly free now until be...

Does anyone know if RWA can apply to contractors and not employees? so like a companie getting paid by receipt intead of being a employee has income?

_I3^RELATIVISM

thanks ohsnap, cool name by the way snap from bluecollar? appreciated Cheers

_I3^RELATIVISM

Im curious about this company, I have heard good things about it back in 2019, from some people I meet in Amos, in a fall contract i Quebec. Sadly I lost my phone later that year, in montreal, so I lost their contact info. Could anyone point me to where I can find email/phone to reach them? Thanks! ...

_I3^RELATIVISM

I would say that would be more appropriate for the company list not "arround the camp fire"

_I3^RELATIVISM

Hopefully this information is useful for other planters. This season of 2021, I did something quite unusual for me, I sticked with a bigger company all the way to august and then only a couple weeks of other summer trees, instead of working for smaller companies and chase trees, for the second half ...

_I3^RELATIVISM

From the little research I did you have native solutions inc which pays dayrate, and makov limited enterprises which does piece work, also many nurseries contract planters directly, which is to me the most promising and interesting bits/jobs. Haven't seen people using bags and small planting shovels...

As a follow up, Discourse has a plugin/bridge for matrix chat services, which then bridges with many socialmedia platforms twitter, and instagram. So even though I know this would be a massive project I think it should be considered for the future in order to none of this amazing information being l...

_I3^RELATIVISM

would be interesting to see a canadian crew down there, I wonder why seasons overlap given their winter is our summer.

_I3^RELATIVISM

the only true way to prevent all this concerns is to have more horizontally structured companies, put more responsibility in planters, because that is the only way you will incentivize the opposite. Is good to see a couple cooperatives popping up, that structure will probably solve some of this issu...

This past 2020 season I mostly work around small contracts in mediteranean, Portugal, marocco etc. And one of the best things I adopted is a berber turbant, it totally covers your skin and is very fresh in hotter weathers. would definitely suggest it for buggy conditions. I said this especially afte...

I bought some welders viberg boots with some lightweight soles, and have been very happy with it extremely light and durable, one thing I regret is not doing a custom fit given that is offered for free by the company and not asking to make the ruff side out. But I guess once I get more involvd with ...

_I3^RELATIVISM

Its quite unfortunate I haven't found this thread in my rookie season, I always wondered why some of my creewmate planted trees so close together but now is kind of obvious, I guess while trying to do perfect density I kind of shot myself in the foot, now is kind of obvious though, always plant mini...

_I3^RELATIVISM

Shouldn't Nootka be included in this list, I have hear more experienced planters speaking pretty highly of off it, I guess people might want to keep it under the radar.

_I3^RELATIVISM

Is a bit strange the lack of regulation on such usage in North America the consequences for the water basin, are definitely concerning. Hopefully in 15 years such will no longer be in use.

_I3^RELATIVISM

I always wonder if there are that much slash like people claim there is. what average portions of the pieces are head tall slash like 1/3?

_I3^RELATIVISM

jdtesluk that is why I think this forum is so important. So much useful information here, and not much nonsense. Not the biggest fan of facebook business model though.

_I3^RELATIVISM

Unfortunately couldn't be part of it mostly stayed in Europe and did some smaller self-arranged contracts, so I gess was a more relax season, not that experienced though.

_I3^RELATIVISM

yes that is indeed good to see from the british columbia institutions. Scooter by the way is there any topic related to the forum software in specific? did you ever considered Discourse, and the bridging that allows with email, and chat services?

_I3^RELATIVISM

As the coast see the increase of prices like seen in the interior in the recent years?

_I3^RELATIVISM

Great overall. congratulations to the maker.

_I3^RELATIVISM

In case off-course you only subsist of that money the rest of the year that is.

_I3^RELATIVISM

the minimal provience taxable income, should also be considered. for people that mostly only return to canada for summer work. If you are bellow that limit and spread your work through provinces then you shounldnt have much problem with anual taxable income.

_I3^RELATIVISM

that is great! Cheers for your contributions.

_I3^RELATIVISM

Planting in japan that would e interesting. Probably most planters would be rejected because of cultural shock back there.

_I3^RELATIVISM

the seams to be a push to fungicides, in the recent years. Dont be manipulated by the marketing, is as bad as pesticides, some processes, it is unfortunate that there isn't more regulation on this issue like other regions of the world. this ends up in most water-systems. I find it irresponsible

_I3^RELATIVISM

Thanks for the share. the treeplanting injury prevention guide is also know freely available in part sponsored by some companies

_I3^RELATIVISM

update they seam to have a website in the works now. Should be online sown.

_I3^RELATIVISM

I feel there needs to be some balance in this topic, stretching is very important, given such activity will exercise muscles to begin such activity. But I totally understand the argument for not stretching cold, the thing is that when you are exercising you are in a way destroying you own tissue, th...

_I3^RELATIVISM

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

After doing a lot of planting outside of the main commercialized countries in the world, I have been coming to the realization, that the use maligned composts in Canada is common practice and kind of unmatched by most. Also trees don't grow at a normal pace, even when comparing to similar micro-clim...

_I3^RELATIVISM

I started planting ambi from the beginning, and haven't bring me nothing but joy, you don't need to change trees from right bag to left, balanced muscles and posture, you can rest one side of the body while not having to stop planting, among many other benefits. It overall made me a better planter, ...

_I3^RELATIVISM

I would say it helps a lot, last season I started to feel some effects of tennis arm, or whatever is called. And it actually help me a lot to recuperate, it prevents it to get inflamed and therefore healing faster, off course it never heals 100% but it does heal.

_I3^RELATIVISM

this has probably been a bit over exagerated by media.

_I3^RELATIVISM

What would be that big yellow plant that most companies got a warning for, that the sap could cause blindness? Was it big cow partnish? or something like that? I think I found some around my propriety back in Portugal and would like to check if it is something similar. Cheers in advance for feedback.

_I3^RELATIVISM

urban trees uhh?

_I3^RELATIVISM

Is this correct? It seams that was the case given his focus in hiring local people instead for the most part?

_I3^RELATIVISM

I heard that all contracts were awarded to one contractor in Haida Gwaii this year.

_I3^RELATIVISM

That would be considered the implementation of a monopoly/duopoly in many other fields, but sure I guess in forestry industry is accepted. The planters are the only ones that loose from this. We would need to see more collective-run, cooperatives in silviculture business, to prevent this. or an actu...

_I3^RELATIVISM

sounds godd @mike, your post was nontheless very helpfull, I ended up getting a smaller contract in the shires north of dandee. I will post more info once I wrap-up my season and head back to canada, Im a european citizen as well, so the headcost to me is not that big. Could you describe the special...

_I3^RELATIVISM

One Million Trees documentary is a great project.
