Damn right we are. The education need to recognise failures, diseases, biology and rigging are intensive. We are in a constant state of learning with this job.

It's a complete joke to consider any legit trimmer or tree service worker from ground guy to lead climber to be unskilled labor. Not only is this work trying on the body but also the mind. If you think it takes no skill to work 70ft+ pulling overhang during a storm or blocking logs down that weigh as much as a smart car safely your ignorant.

If for one Day people would just watch us weather it be in a bucket or climbing roping and rigging zip lining or dropping a tree in a tight area then they would say it is for sure a skilled trade

When you risk your life day in and day out to not only put food on your table for you and your family but also to make sure EVERYONE has power to there homes. This should be a skilled labor.
