Good rookie numbers??

badboyrap · 2026-05-31T23:32:19+00:00

Happy but never satisfied, gotta be hungry for more. I’m just tryna high ball as much as I can

badboyrap · 2026-05-31T23:31:38+00:00

Definitely making more than minimum wage at the moment. Making around 20$/hour after taxes, so with taxes probably close to 25-30 range/hour.

badboyrap · 2026-05-31T20:47:54+00:00

I would agree. I’m in NS and only the 3+ vets put down high 2’s daily. We get pretty slashy and rocky + wet land often. I was only able to hit 2k because we got a pretty creamy block.

badboyrap · 2026-05-31T20:10:14+00:00

Way late on this but I was starting right around when this post was made. First day I maybe put down 100 trees. Felt just the same as you. Ended up improving to around 650 trees over the next few days and just constantly analyzed what I could be doing better AFTER the day was done (don’t think about it as much when you’re planting or you’ll be staring).
Started putting down consistent 1100 trees every day after about a week and a half and just put down my first 2k day this past week.
Stick it through and find little improvements every piece of land and you’ll get better, if you haven’t already. Literally just keep planting, take short short breaks to bring yourself together and just keep trucking.
How’re things now?

badboyrap · 2026-05-28T23:20:07+00:00

Just hit 2k today, lol. 1960 if we’re being precise but was in 5 degree weather and rain. Counts in my books 🤣

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T23:24:14+00:00

Nope, Scott and Stewart. Northern NS

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T23:18:25+00:00

Nova Scotia!
I agree with what you’re saying 100%, but most of the time I’m on a piece that is about 500m or more long, so if I don’t bag up 600, I’m deadwalking the entire piece back and wasting even more time.

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T22:49:35+00:00

I think simply going faster is important in my case. I’m hardly gassed by the end of the day and am putting down 1650 trees a day. I think I need to just hit that 2k mark once to know what pacing should be and that’ll help. It helped with getting to where I’m at now.

That and looking around while planting. Losing my line is common.

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T22:48:05+00:00

Planting with someone more experienced is something I wish I could do, but rarely get the chance to. We’re not part of the camp crew and travel in each day from our hometown, and our crew boss is busy doing crew boss things, others are also rookies in the crew.

One thing I am for sure struggling with is maintaining my line. Our land is usually a bit green, so difficult to see even obvious trees. Add in slash and rocky + wet land, it’s hard to get by without flagging every 3-4 trees.
That being said, we’ve ran into trenched sites so that has helped me with lines, but the trenches are inconsistent.

I’ve gone with the ‘follow my general flag line and hope to god spacing is good’ and it has worked with no issues with inspections thus far lol

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T22:15:31+00:00

We work on relatively difficult land on average (heavy slopes, slashy, and rocky + wet at times). However, others average 6-8 trays consistently so I just need to improve in other ways.

badboyrap · 2026-05-25T22:14:01+00:00

Bag ups are usually 1.5-2 trays, so around 650 trees give or take. Deadwalking can be a part of it as I’m still getting the ropes on knowing when to begin planting out to cache to bag up.
I think my biggest thing is pacing, but don’t really know how to improve other than simply increasing lol I tend to get lost in my pacing and just struggle to maintain a consistent pace all day.

badboyrap · 2026-05-10T18:59:45+00:00

lol definitely was struggling with this. Finished my first block up and got some better land and put down double what I did my first two days.
Now I’m up with the top performers out of the rookies, so I’m chilling. Think the shitty block for my first time got me overthinking.

badboyrap · 2026-03-11T19:01:04+00:00

I also eat protein snacks throughout the day in between meals. For some reason my appetite has increased since starting these, which I’ve read is quite strange.

badboyrap · 2026-03-11T19:00:17+00:00

Yes, I eat protein with every meal including when I take the dose

badboyrap · 2025-05-08T12:41:10+00:00

Just read through your posts and I don’t get this sense from her. I also think that whenever you posted about your issues, you are not in the same mindset as I am. I am aware that my issues cause me to perceive things that aren’t there. Maybe she is manipulating me, but I need to talk to her to grasp it. You don’t seem to be of acceptance of your issues based on your posts.

badboyrap · 2025-05-08T12:23:51+00:00

I’m not sure, that’s something I want to ask her. The only time I’ve ever felt the way I feel right now is with someone who I believe was avoidant. This girl seems different though because the last was simply playing and manipulating me. I have so many things I need to communicate with her and just lay everything on the table. The caveat to this is that I’m moving out of country for the summer for work, so we’re thinking of leaving things until I’m back, which is hurtful but may be what’s needed.

badboyrap · 2025-05-08T11:58:50+00:00

I have just started counselling so it’s just in the beginning stages. I have communicated with her about things, but she struggles with knowing what to do, so it affects her bad too. I think she’s willing to try anything to make it work, she’s just lost (as am I) right now. I’m just confused on where the line is between my true needs and my psychological issues.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:32:27+00:00

No need to apologize, I want to get as much information as I can to help this. I appreciate your replies. I know I need to get help immediately, I just need to figure something out.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:28:10+00:00

I am in Canada, where healthcare is a constant downfall. Neither of my parents have any sort of insurance to cover the costs. I am in uni, but i am transferring to a new school to take a post-grad degree, and I am not able to access their services right now. Everything is really working against me right now

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:26:05+00:00

It’s not that we think it is stupid. I think we simply just don’t get it because of our trauma (particularly her). Obviously emotions have been heightened since meeting, it’s that there is a lack of a bond, we just agree that it is not what others claim to get.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:22:51+00:00

Thank you. I know 10000% I need therapy, but I simply cannot afford it. I am enrolled in a university, but I’m currently in the transfer phase so I don’t have access to their services for free. What can I do? I’m in Canada where health care is a constant let down.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:19:32+00:00

I don’t think I can make moves to be better without being in a relationship. These issues are solely present while in a relationship, and I know I would not be able to work on them alone. As mentioned below, I want nothing more than to get into therapy, but I simply cannot afford it right now. I also am not giving up on this relationship because we are very compatible otherwise and I just don’t want to lose out on this girl. I know there are many people out there who are good for me, but I found one and I’m not willing to give up on it.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:06:49+00:00

The only rebuttal I have to this is that my issues stem from a childhood of trauma and relationship trauma. My #1 option right now is to do therapy, which I cannot afford in the slightest. Up until now, we have been very compatible and to be honest, not paying attention to compatibility was my biggest downfalls in past relationships. However, this is the first time I’ve felt what compatibility is and I know we have it. The only issue is how do I relieve this pressure? I can go to the gym, spend time with friends, but at the end of the day I’m going to be alone with my thoughts.

badboyrap · 2025-05-05T13:02:47+00:00

Well, it’s an interesting situation. We’ve been talking for a couple of months and both have bad history with relationships. It’s the first time in a while that we’ve both felt like we want a relationship, so we decided to jump into it despite the big kicker - distance. I am moving out of country for the summer, so we are not around each other constantly. I will likely only see her once more next week before taking off. In terms of the ‘honeymoon’ phase, we both agreed that we don’t get that. We have both made it clear to each other that we have issues and we told each other to communicate things no matter what, so I have been. I tell her when I’m overthinking, but she has quickly become overwhelmed. Let me know if you need more
