To Pound or Not TO Pound That is The Question?

This last week has been one of the best treeplanting week I have ever had. The crew is finally coming together as a team and I am putting in the number of trees that I want. We have had beautiful land, weather and amazing times together. For those of you who don't know what a pounder is I will explain. By treeplanting definition a "Pounder" is some one who puts in an insane amount of trees not matter what the weather, land or tree price is like. Being a pounder is like being on the honor roll in school....... They are the Elite. I am proud to say that my very own brother was a pounder in his time and I am becoming one too. The trick is not to have one or two good days but to be consistently putting in a lot of trees everyday. The blog this week is not to brag but to celebrate my accomplishment as a planter. I hope to become not only a really good planter but a approachable, teachable, humble person, and to take many great life lessons from this season. One of the best parts of treeplanting is going back to your tent after a hard days work knowing that you worked you ass off all day and you have done what you wanted. Now that is a sense of accomplishment.
