I know you work hard for your $$$

 

[Rusty]

Do you trim around the electrical lines. Or just cut down trees. Not just but you know what I mean.

 

[Mossy1985]

I do both. I run my own business doing residential work around houses and I do line clearance for utility lines. I started out doing residential work in 2007 and then started working for Davey Tree in 2012. I work for Townsend Tree now. They’re a company out of Indiana.

Here in hurricane central… tree cutters stay very busy. One regular ole hurricane is about 2 years of business… Florence was 3-4 years.

 

[Rusty]

That’s a crazy job man. I have a friend that does electrical clearing. They had two guys die last year from it.

 

[Mossy1985]

I’ve been all over cleaning up after storms. It’s tough work but you get use to it and it’s like anything else.

 

[Mossy1985]

It’s supposedly the second most dangerous job there is. We had a young boy start a couple years back. By break no one could find him. They identified him by his finger tips in his gloves. The only thing the chipper didn’t grind up was his skull. I believe he was 19. I’ve seen a saw stuck in legs that I had to patch up. One I couldn’t fix was a trim saw kicked back and stuck in a guy’s neck. Had to take the saw apart and leave the bar and chain in his neck until I got him to the hospital. I’ve seen logs fall wrong and crush a guy in Florida. It’s a wild job.

 

[Rusty]

Takes a little craziness to do
That job. My buddy is pretty crazy. Not a bad thing just a personality type. The two guys that died last year was from inexperienced around the electrical line and got fried. That some insane stuff you’ve had to deal with. Think you have to be mentally tough as fuck to deal with that stuff

 

[Mossy1985]

It’s a whole different game in this business. Most aren’t cut out for it. I signed with the Corps at 17 after already living a crazy life. By 21 I got an Other than Honorable discharge. I’ve seen holes through people you could stick your head through.

 

[Rusty]

I don’t think I could ever stomach it bro. I’m an electrician but I ain’t ever seen any stuff like that. Worst I seen a guys arms got pulled out of socket after grabbing a live wire pushing 70 amps through it.

 

[Mossy1985]

You would be surprised what you can get use to once you see it so often. I imagine @NeuroRN has probably seen some gruesome stuff. I dated a nurse and she told me stuff that turned my stomach.

 

[NeuroRN]

You’re absolutely right. I try to stay grounded and remember the shit I see is a human being… but at some point your brain has to protect itself and you have to view the fucked up mess as an object that needs fixing. Calloused as I may sound it’s the only way to survive long term.

 

[Mossy1985]

I know exactly what you’re saying. Even when one of my kids mothers is freaking out about something. I’m able to access the situation and help them understand.

 

[Poppy]

It puts the lotion on its body

 

[NeuroRN]

Hahahaha exactly.

 

[Rusty]

Maybe. But I don’t think I’d ever wanna try. Lol.

 

[Mossy1985]

It’s something you can’t seem to forget. Stuff you’ll always be able to see like it just happened
