first time i've ever heard of steel-toed boots being a requirement in planting.....whzt company is asking this....???

i've found planting with a shovel works better

daleks

buy a " D " handle treeplanting shovel from any store that sells them, take it with you to camp the way it is....talk to a few people who have some experience....buy or borrow an angle grinder....adjust shovel to taste....make money......drink name-brand beer......yeay...

they have had an ad running the local vanc. island weeklies for about 4 issues now... went north to work with them a few years back, along with 5 or 6 other veteran island planters..(mostly, we wanted to get out of town)....no accommodation arranged, no advances, the fellow who pretended to be the s...

about twenty years ago the preferred method of planting was to load a Beaver, Cessna 172 or Hughes 500D with about 10,000 seedlings, or as much as the plane could hold....fly over the block, and someone inside would throw them out the door....not a lot of quality checkers around in those days....jus...

yah...best not to plant on a contract where chemicals are used...not only do you increase your phlegm count, but you'll probably a)break out with acne (34% of planters using chemicals), b)find that beer just doesn't taste the same at the end of the day (24% of planters using chemicals) and, c) you w...

ok - you're both idiots - so sue me.....lol i'm probably a little older than both of you, so the way i grew up was that each individual took responsibility for their own actions, not as part of any one of the number of groups we are seeing making noises on behalf of their members - and any lawsuit t...

never use cotton as rain gear. wool is ok, synthetics are best......you will never stay entirely dry.....keep moving, keep warm, don't stop and, close to the end of the day when everyone else is as soaked as you are, sit in the truck and eat or drink or smoke something and go home and dronk beer.......

city dogs, untrained dogs, small dogs - any one of these or combinations, make that dog dangerous on the block in that they actually attract bears. a dog left outside to get wet for any length of time, and cold, is prone to suffer arthritis long before a dry, warm dog. dog owners become emotional ab...

fieldstone is hardly a small company. try Dennis Nardy, in Nelson, he owns the company

daleks

many contractors, and some tfl licensees refuse to allow dogs. a few years back one of our drivers ran over a dog and killed it.no way i would sit in a vehicle with a wet animal. i'm serious about going out and working, not babysitting some dumb animal.

took a look at some of Brinkmans bids....in Seaward, they bid against Zanzibar ( $1,642,000 ), Osprey ($ 564,000 ), Brinkman ( $489,000 )-----in Grand Forks, they bid against A & G ( $521,000 ), Greenpeaks ( $513,000), Brinkman ( $427,000 ). it's a race to the bottom......guess who's leading the...

fieldstone has a " group plant ", co-op type of crew, where groups of planters change every few days to plant with other groups. owner of the company plants along side planters. each planter is given a score, with 1.00 being the average. planters are expected to perform duties after the da...

wondering why these recipes are being planted on a tree planter site....minimum number of calories an active planter needs during the day starts at around the 4,500 mark.....although the recipes listed are probably o.k. to eat, the highest number of calories i have found in any of them top out at ab...

bought the black tusks by phone from a logging camp on the mid-coast, had them flown in, dealer in Campbell River wouldn't take them back (i wore them for about 6 hours), no one on the crew wanted to buy them, ended up tossing them out...too much trouble to carry them around...

the number of contractors bidding the coast is smaller than the interior. the coastal planting is a little more technical. coastal planting contracts cost more per planter to implement and run.unless a spot opens up, perhaps two, on a crew of perhaps 20-25 planters, a contractor does not want to get...

worked for three years for the same contractor on the same contracts on the island and in the Okanagan, and prices in both places rose last year by .02 and .03 cents over the year before.....this is true from personal experience....here's one by hearsay....the Holberg contract was taken from Coast R...

note to the Brit......should you be near Robin Hoods Bay, look up Nigel Sutterby....he will acquaint you will everything you need to know regarding treeplanting and immigration to canada....should you be old enough to remember Roger The Dodger, you will recognize Nigel right away.....cheers

a couple or more bottles of BEER before supper is the world's best hor de ouvre.....sometimes when you have enough Beer, you don't even need the rest of the meal.............

daleks

there is a third type of planting couple.....the ones which started out as one of the two mentioned above, and are now no longer a couple....that category accounts for about 50% of couples....well, i guess they no longer are a couple, so perhaps they don't fit this category anyway........

drink lotsa water before you start each days' work, and eat three or more really good meals a day.....supplements are like snake oil medicine, and they all suck....and suck the money out of your wallet at the same time.....just eat well....

should you decide to plant on the coast, you should have a pair of rubber corks (either the orange ones or the lace-up ones, they will both cost about $135.....the orange ones are a pain to take off when wet)......for the times when it gets really wet...........AND a pair of Vibergs, from the viberg...

go for it. i started planting at 39 and am still planting 18 years later. 'tis not such a big deal as many people make it out to be. do agree a good small coastal company would be a good place to start. being female helps a lot, and would probably offset the no-experience-at-an-older-than-usual-age ...

for some years now, bc has had several programmes through the mof which, depending on how much land you have (10 acres for some, 15 for others), aid in the planting, spacing and general clean-up of that land....perhaps ontarion has similar programmes....

i was planting near grande prairie/valleyview last summer - a nice experience for a BC boy - spoke with two oil field workers, who both indicated the reason they were working in Alberta, was so that they could afford to live in BC (one already had a boat moored in Nanaimo, the other had property nea...

planters in a northern bc/alberta contract i was on last summer seemed to feel the best way to re-cycle was to a) take food back to their tent, b) throw food onto the ground around the cache where they were working (although they called it "composting"), and, c) leave it lying on the floor...
