I just finished tree planting and it was my first season I’m really crying after seeing your video I miss all of my co-workers so much we had a all boys crew ( kinda sucks ) but we all just became brothers real quick.i miss you all of you
Everybody has their own type of boots they swear by. Some people will tell you good hiking boots like Scarpas that will last multiple seasons. Others will say logging caulk boots. What i have used and loved for the last 4 or more seasons has been regular rubber boots. I buy about 2 or 3 decent pairs from Canadian Tire, Marks Work Warehouse, wherever, and get them 1 size bigger. Then I wear regular socks and bama socks so it is a snug fit in the boot, and the boot isn't loose at all. I prefer doing this because on rain days, through puddles, mud, wet terrain, my feet always stay warm and dry. They do fall apart, but that's why I bring 2 or 3 pairs, and generally I'm spending less than $100-$200 to have dry feet for the whole planting season, and you'll make that money back comfortably in no time. As its your first season, maybe try a pair of hiking boots, and a pair of rubber boots, especially because they can be cheap to pick up. See what you like best, because everyone is different. I hope your feet stay dry, and you have an AMAZING first season out in the bush! Depending on the company, being a rookie can be rough, but remember even on the hardest days you got this, you choose to be there, and to ignore any stupid people that poke fun at you for being a rookie. We all started out learning how to plant a tree properly, and we all grew from there. Stay safe, stay warm, and happy planting!
@@G-Frog thank you so much I needed that info and your positive spirit. Many blessings to you and I will keep a positive outlook and not look at the big picture. I will stay intouch
It would definitely have been 4200 since the world record is 23,000 in 24 hours but 4200 is balling for sure in BC. Centage ranged from about $.15 to upwards of $.25 per tree however average earnings on that day would probably be around $600-700
Planting trees of same veriaties especially desiduous trees can bring more risk as in BC alot of where fires happen are logged and replanted areas because ground cover is not there to protect soil from sunlight. So when developing trees struggle due to loss of ecology in soil. They burn much easier. More importantly then this, is to have agriculture peoples and the lands grow trees perhaps ones for Yields like fruits and nuts etc to further the economic benefit. But more then that it will free the farmers. With deep roots the trees nurish surrounding crops, and landscapes. leaf fall will fertilize but more importanly support ecology(ie worms insects, etc) Will be benifitted bringing nurishment to the land) It will also hold reserses of water with an organic content in the soil of 8-12% the amount of water it can hold will double. The land will have more rainfall farmers wont have to irrigate as much plus the land wont be harmed from mall practices(ie tilling, plowing. The worms and life in the soil will airate itself creating the conditions optimal for nurished plant development. This is how we can save nutrition of humans and degradation of the land. The big issue now is implementing it on the ground and on other nations.
1-3 species being planted in a given block, usually. It's unfortunate that they're monocultures, but worth noting that this isn't for habitat restoration, this is a crop. It will be cut again in 40 or so years, rinse and repeat. Obviously not ideal, but better plantations than cutting old growth.
That is great! I am impressed! Thank you for your hard work, keep it up! It is appreciated
dude this is the exact feeling i get when i describe treeplanting to other people, Great video!
That is an amazing compliment, thank you so much!
I did two contracts in 2007 and 2008. Would never do it again but never regretted it.
I'm commenting to push you into the algorithm so you can continue your journey. Just to know, you and your team are a great people

tree planting isn’t good for the environment sorry
@@DetectiveCowClaro que si, pero deben tener una estrategía para el aprovechamiento del agua y usar especies nativas.
It’s not intended for Mother Earth, it’s the logging industries future products.
This sums it up so well, great job man, you put into words what I've tried describing to people about tree planting so many times

Top Notch brother !!!! Loved it ! ... season 19 here
Nice job ❤❤
good job!
I recognize a few faces here from firefighting with Hybrid 17 late last summer
Planting a field of gravy! A lot more fun than scalping bear grass on steep slopes, rockpiles and wet clay.
Great job . How many trees do you need to plant to get the rain back in an area ?
Hi G Frog: this will be my first season trying this exciting job. Any tips on work boot to use that won’t fall apart?

@@Surfgirl61 Please do!
Would any of you guys try tree planting? If you have already, do you have any good tree planting stories?
I haven’t but now I wish I had! Great vid
No way! Treeplanting looks too hard for me!
@@katis2211 I'm sure you could get into the groove of things
I did. I can do it. To much work for to little money. Theres just to many easyer ways to earn income. I just did it for ei stamps
Preparing for this season as a rookie.
How much did he make with that 42,000 trees if u don't mind me asking
It would definitely have been 4200 since the world record is 23,000 in 24 hours but 4200 is balling for sure in BC. Centage ranged from about $.15 to upwards of $.25 per tree however average earnings on that day would probably be around $600-700
4200, not 42,000. I think that day the land was 18c, so it would've been $756 for the day
The new super hero forest rangers
9 to 5? Labor laws reached planting, huh? 10 hours min when i did it
how old is too old? what's the average age of the planters? don't want to be the Old Guy :)

Thiers parties ?
There are parties my friend
Yo plante pinos y nos pedían 2500 mínimo x día, yo plantaba 5000 x dia
bro! good job! are they Monocultures? are they genetically identical, I mean? If not, great!
If so, mix it up!!!??
