I've developed a cheap alternative one time pay app for viewing PDF Maps, simple bare bones app for those not wanting to pay the yearly sub apps. Any feedback in the screenshots for the app store would be much appreciated.

Hello,

First off, if this isn't the place for my question, I apologize and please feel free to redirect me...

Anyway, so I have a question regarding the planting of a very young tree, if it can be called a tree already. We found a very young oak tree, not more then 30 cm (a foot) high. I had four leaves on top and seemed to be in good health. However it was recently uprooted and just lay on the side of the road. Our dog found it and we decided to give a chance on a new life in our garden.

We kept the roots wet in a paper tissue we had with us and took it home. We planted it in new soil we had left from planting some other flowers this month. Gave it plenty of water and at first it seemed happy. But we are now about a week later and the leaves have started to turn yellow and are hanging very badly. It does not look like it's going to make it.

Can anyone give us any advice on how to save this young tree? Or were we trying to help a lost cause to begin with?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I think i have too much stuff? But i cant tell. Im leaving tomorrow for my first season. I have two military duffel bags, a very large hiking backpack, and my tent bag and possibly one other medium bag. I cant think of a single thing I wouldnt want to bring. But im definitely running out of time and id hate to show up and have way too much

What are fair prices for mounds and stumped ground these days? Obviously there’s variability but just curious on the range people have been getting.

A few of my planters have purchased the $50 avenza subscription and it only is good for 1 month? And we can’t airdrop maps ? It’s ridiculous

Avenza is a really great tool in our industry. Sadly the creators have realized that they can make a shit load of money off Treeplanters and Forestry workers alike.

Does anyone use other navigation apps? I’ve heard of a similar concept as Avenza but it’s in Spanish ? Any recommendations would be great. Sorry if this has already been answered I just finished a 16 hour day and can’t be arsed

I’ve never been a tree planter, but I started seeing videos from Two Leaf Notice / Mathieu Chaput on Instagram and it got me interested in the industry. From what I understand, his mentorship/coaching program costs around $1,000 USD per month for 3 months — and that’s just the coaching, not including gear, travel, etc. So this would be a pretty serious financial decision for me.

I’m specifically NOT looking for motivational hype or “just invest in yourself” type answers. I want honest opinions from people who actually know the industry.

I’ve also seen references here and there to some infamous planter/coach that people never seem to name directly, but I couldn’t really find much info in the wiki or old threads (probably missed it).

So I wanted to ask:

• Is this program actually worth the money?
• Is it legit?
• Would a beginner realistically get value from it?
• Or is most of the information something you could learn for free / on the job?

I’d especially appreciate answers from experienced planters or anyone who’s actually interacted with the program.

Ive been planting in BC for a while now and ive noticed recently that clients expectations for planting specs are getting pretty high, due to the fact that the weather is making it difficult to regrow trees

Now you have to obstacle everything north side, screef to mineral dirt, and make sure the plug is totally sealed in mineral dirt, if you are anywhere south of PG basically. And there is less and less leniancy, often approaching a strict literal interpretation of the specs where a tree a couple inches too far from an obstacle is called a fault

Not only that, but we gotta plant with two silvis in our bags, not use flag, and deal with loose pack trees

All these factors add up to making planting quite a bit more difficult than it used to be 10 years ago

Just something to be aware of for those placing bids on the work

crewboss here looking for a way to send shape files to my guys. $50 a year people would be willing to swallow as a price jump. But $200 a year in order to share shape files a lot of my guys aren’t willing to do (totally fair). Anyone find a nice app that is easy to use and you can share kml’s on for a reasonable price?

Signed,

Avenza are greedy little pigs

i can never just think about planting when im planting so i inevidibly fuck up my piece and my bos gets pissed at me again and j get upset because when im alone all i can think about is a billion things tbat upset me and fhen im making no money and busting my ass and suffering everyday with nothing fk shkw flr it. im dissapointing everyone here and i hate myself.

i told myself i would stick it out no matter what and if i can defeat this season i can take anything. now i cant imagine being here for another two months or more. the thought is unbearable. im eating shit everyday. one of my checkers told me today that quitting isnt an option because that means youre a little bitch, but man i just fucking hate my life.

i want to stick it out and make money and have a good time even but man every day just seems to get worse and im just dragging my crew down. the only thing i enjoy here js sleeping because in my dreams im not here.

Hey all. I just found a pair of scarpas in my size at the thrift, they were 5 bucks so I got them as back ups! One thing though, they’re in pretty good condition although the soles are pretty much completely off on the front half of the boot.. I have shoe-goo, but has anyone ever had shoe-goo repairs hold up in the bush? Wondering if they’re worth bringing if I can successfully repair them, or if they’ll just fall apart on the block.. thanks in advance, hope everyone’s having fun out there!

i just hope i can get past the first few weeks. i dont want to flunk out and look like an idiot. im really nervous but it is what it is.

I applied for an IEC Working Holiday from Ireland. I did my biometrics already and recently uploaded my police certificate through the webform. My application status shows “action required” on the account, but there’s no actual message or request showing up when I open it.
