I like cutting wood. Where should go to cut some wooood?

[treeclimercj]

I'm a 29 year old tree worker and landscaper Entrepreneur. 3 years experience in the carolinas and just moved back to az to see fam. Out here is some pine tree work but its lame puss wood. I'm looking to having my hands full with tree work, pine trees are boring. I like the big hundred foot oaks that stretch out over roof tops and need to be rigged off, and or just dead wood removal. I also like the sound of wood when it hits the ground; so with that said, my point is that I like to cut woooood. I Have a pretty good arsenal of chainsaws, ropes, climbing and rigging gear and a four wheel drive (country folk can survive) and I want to venture off in the states somewhere for more tree work. So where should I go from here?

Head for high population areas that have big city trees among houses that are close together. These house owners have little choice but to pay big bucks to take down trees piece by piece.

Then again, with it comes the licenses, the insurance, the permits, the disposal, the chipper truck, the help, ad infinitum and work amongst the cable guys and utility lines.

Prolly not in Prescott, AZ  ;)

Hope it works out for you.

I lived in prescott for a number of years, but left for the same reason. Not a whole lot of logging going on there.  Some up in the bradshaws but not enough. I hear there is a major operation starting up in n. Az.  Temptiing to check it out and maybe move back down.   I do miss the desert and pines.  And quail hunting.  Mostly quail hunting.

Maybe there are some golf courses that need some work done, and in the mean while play a round for us back here in the woods.

With your energy and 'want to' all you have to do is place yourself in a community with lots of trees. For instance, our daughter and family lives in Jackson, Ms. in an older residential area. Large pine and oak, beautiful shrubbery, but the trees now are getting old and having to be removed.

Dangerous they are, and very expensive to remove...lots of wind storms..but then again the northeast U.S. has had its share of storms also. Don't over look the large drought area of the Mid-west, trees are going to be dying for a long while, I'm afraid.

Certainly, we have a few trees down here, and weather, so thre seems to be continual need for tree removal.  I would have spent 4 fortunes already if I didn't do my own.   ;D
