FLIGHT
Years Planting: 10
Years with Dynamic: 6
PB: Ha Ha, the more years I put between myself
and when that actually happened, the easier it is to forget
Longest season: 135 days
Favourite Planting spot: Bute Inlet, no offence
to the interior, but you've got to love a place that can
be the most beautiful and most miserable place you've ever
been all in one shift.
Planting Philosophy: Planters succeed as crews,
surround yourself with good people and have fun.
What kind of a foreman are you? Planters first.
It is in every one’s best interest if planters are always
planting.
What do you look for in your planters? Those who
work to their potential, leave the day on the block, smile
more than frown, and only do things once.
Best thing about your crew: I like to think of it as pounding
in slow motion, they're intense and intensely relaxed, it's
great to work with a bunch of people whose blood pressure
only rises when planting trees.
Best thing about Dynamic: Progress, there is always
a genuine effort to be better. There are ways to make the
business easier and the effort is there to find out what
they are.
Around camp I am known as: You’ll have to ask camp...
I try not to gossip
What my crew likes best about me: Stress
free approach....whatever happened, freaking out probably
won’t fix it.
Where are you off to next (travel)? Hopefully New
Zealand, my kiwi friends have seen my home, now I would
like to see theirs
In my truck we listen to: If you can answer this
question, you need more music in your truck
Favourite camp food: Whatever’s cookin', the food
has gotta be one of my favorite parts of bush work, it never
matters what it is!
My truck smells like: Impressively not
that bad really, even despite the bag of rotten fruit the
vacuum nossle found at the end of the year and sucked down
like a set of lips on jello. And better than most trucks
half her age I might add. |
