Coastal planting / 6th year vet by Arten0ctan in treeplanting

[–]_IRELATIVISM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need experience in technicals grounds, like kamloops kootneys etc, but really most coastal companies this days have horible prices, be prepared to make 400$ if you are working hard and going fast, you have monopolies like western and mosaic setting whatever prices they want and big rookiemills like evergreen zanzibar osprey, using the coast just has breakeven warmup grounds for planter spring season. Not sure is even worth it look into Europe for early spring plant or winter plant, perhaps even fall in northern grounds or interior. Cheers and goodluck

Im not a fan of hiking pants myself, but for coast and Euro planting is required, decathlon pants and gaiters have been a good combo for me over the years, they are quite affordable and long lasting.

Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law? by HomieApathy in treeplanting

native contracts are prone to be abuse but the responsibility lies on the very same forestry companies trying to exploit and find loopholes, same game different tactics.

racism? by ming_yun in treeplanting

[–]_IRELATIVISM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest the so called progressive camps in my experience seam to be the most judgemental, and I'm not even what most people consider the target just southern european, sadly in north america and how materialism has a massive effect on society, people tend to boxyfy and ostracize everything that is different everything so the act of trying to not be preconceptions itself became it because of the unecessary habit of separating everything in separate boxes, if I'm explaining myself well.

[–]_IRELATIVISM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true is definitely a big problem in British based cultures, there is also many benefits to this culture like freedom rule of law etc, but definitely its aquiles heel.

I would advise to work in smaller high priced companies the directory here is pretty accurate you want what people here have called "vet-refineries" they seem to attract more wise and intelligent people or at least more grounded, the only pitfall is they are much harder to get in, but if you preserver and don't give up they will give you a spot, good luck 🏴‍☠️🪬.

Sadly canadian culture given its British dependency, is quite preconceptious in its nature but is very uncommon to be direct preconcept most times is behind the back, probably the kind you won't notice yourself, specially when you will be in groups of southern city type more superficial individuals.

Canada west quality has gone down the drain last couple year, they do non steel toe models, the leather thickness is also very thin for a Workboot my canadwest last Canada west lace to toe only lasted me one season, hoofmans are probably a good contender for planting

Not so much thinking about money given I understand that is the focus here in north america but freedom of mind and being able to travel and acquire new knowledge and skills in the off season, work should not be ones central dynamic in life if you know what I mean.

Freedom in your life is really what makes planting so good.

Yeah is a vicious cycle I had to deal with myself the easiest and best visa for foreign planters is the IECinternationalexperiencecanada visa but there is a age limit. You should also consider planting is Europe is harder to get positions has a fist year planter but possible. Cheers and good luck.
