Workers and bosses. Climbers and contractors. Apprentices and 25-year vets. Seven rooms, one trade — the conversation you can't have on Facebook and won't get on LinkedIn.
Hosted on Circle — full chat, posts, photo and video sharing. Your ARBCLUB login carries across.
The everyday clubhouse. Workers and bosses, all welcome. Sapling members can post in #general-bs.
Smoko-room banter, the day's wins and stuff-ups, who's on what job. The first room you'll open every morning.
Honest reviews of saws, saddles, ropes, helmets, throwlines. What's worth the spend, what's marketing fluff. One good answer here pays for the year.
Near-misses, hangers, barber chairs, weather days, ambulance tales. Learn what to do — and what not to do — from people who lived it.
Photo in, answer out. Eucalyptus hybrids, ornamentals, hazardous species — get a confident ID, usually inside the hour.
The shortcut your old mate showed you, written down so the next apprentice doesn't have to learn it the hard way. Knots, rigging, machine ops, quoting.
The professional tier. Where bosses, contractors, senior crew, operators and drivers talk shop and hire each other — direct, no recruiter cut.
The behind-closed-doors room. Real client stories (names blurred), actual job pricing — what you quoted, what landed, margin numbers. Hard business calls, hiring decisions, long-form shop talk between veterans, bosses and owner-operators.
The whole trade marketplace in one room. Looking for work, or looking for crew? Contract climbers, contract groundies, plant operators (dozer, excavator, grinder, chipper) and truck drivers (HC/MC, tipper, hooklift) — and the bosses hiring them. Day rates, regions, references, gear setup. Direct, transparent, no recruiter middleman.
Member counts shown for design preview. Live counts go up on launch.
