Hey Kris, just come across your channel, great video! Always great to see fellow ChemEng content as a ChemEng content creator, and I take you’ve finished your dual degree in ChemEng and computing tech now! 👏 keep up the great work, looking forward to following what you do next 🙌
Yea I like dostoevsky's characters and dialogue cause its witty and funny and he's just all around a good writer so I like how he says things. Not as psychologically intense as crime and punishment so far but still all in all a good read.
Did u accumulate any internship experience while you were in university? I heard companies are more likely to hire recent graduates if you have internships under your belt. Hella cool to watch someone showcase the daily bits of their life btw.
It’s probably 20-30 mins of footage for a 10 min vlog. And the edit usually takes 3-4 hours. Sometimes less with shorter vids and sometimes more with massive vids. It’s definitely a process but also really rewarding. Thanks so much for the support inheritance. Love the username btw. I’ll keep it pushing 💪🏻
you know it's by seeing you upload and your ambitions that motivate me to do my own channel and be productive so thank you... u're aldreadt making impact
I want to but that will likely be a next year thing. All the profs I talked to didn't have enough funding to take on another grad student right now. So I'm looking for an engineering job right now.
@@inheritance1097 I should be able to but I haven't had any luck yet. As for the market, I don't think it's great at the moment. I see some job postings but I not that many for intern engineerings such as myself. I'm sure I'll find something eventually though.
The most I planted in 8 hours was 2835 trees on a chain block. I was getting paid .12 cents a tree ( working for Irving) and it was my first planting season.really loved the community gonna do it next year too but out west.
whenever I tried to speed up my quality went all to shit except in trenches, all no brainer stuff . Yer plantin a little low on those trenches to my mind . I Always planted as high as I could
Its my third day into my first season today. The piece I planted today was worse than this. Full of rocks, burnt and fallen trees. Seeing you navigate your piece, I learnt a lot. Thankyou!
Aye no worries at all. It be like that sometimes. Me and two other lads just spent 3 days on a 14 000 tree piece and it was awful. You’ll learn from it and hopefully be on some better stuff soon
hi dear your all videos so beautiful.but i saw your videos view and subscriber too low.i have a channel like you.and my view andsubscriber is really good.i can help you to reach more audiences your videos if you want
Shitty piece? I see flat cream 😅 [edit] I just read your comment below and 13-14c is an absolute ripoff, you should change companies, I haven't planted below 20c in years even for creamy pieces.
Yea the hike to the back and crossing the wet parts were shit but the soil was actually pretty good. Yea 14 cents was pretty rough. I’m doing wnother season rn for a month and the centages are up to 18 which is pretty sweet. What company did you plant for?
@@KrisKeon I used to work for Zanzibar. Our prices normally ranged between 20 cents and 35 cents, where 20 cents are for creamy burns and trenches. But I heard the company is defaulting at the moment, and prices have gone down. Right now, the general rule I use is that if I can't earn $600 in 8 hours of planting, I am not planting it.
@@MicEE2998e5 Oh yea I've heard of Zanzibar. Bougie stuff. The highest land I've ever had is 22 cents but that was either for a fill plant or a 4 km walk in
Are you alone? What do you do about bears? My boyfriend and I are thinking about doing this. Is the money really worth it? we're european and the hard work doesn't phase me but the bears terrify me. Watched too many bear attack videos
We plant in crews of 6-12 people but usually it’s just one to two people per piece. Where I worked tho, you could always elect to plant with a planting partner. There are a lot of bears out there but mostly black bears that would rather not have anything to do with humans. Personally I’ve never had a bad experience but I suppose it’s not impossible although highly unlikely.
Hey, just finished my rookie year in British Columbia, maybe I can pass some info on to you! I know you posted this 3 months back but hopefully you get notified! Money wise: depends a lot on how fast you get the hang of planting. It didn't take me too long, maybe two weeks or so. I was making roughly $0.17 per tree (most of the land my company got wasn't too great, however the price goes up the worse the land and circumstances are). Another big factor are the investments you're going to make your first season (planting bags, shovel, really stout hiking boots or caulks, definitely don't cheap out on footwear, I did and it was a big mistake. For hiking boots, I recommend the brands Scarpa or Vasque), there's a lot of them and even just buying clothes and food and other small pieces of equipment eats up a lot of money. It'd be pretty easy to spend upwards of $1k on equipment the first year, but it all depends how thrifty you are. The good news is if you come back for multiple seasons you'll already have the equipment from your first year! Making money is all about planting a consistent amount of trees per day, finding a pace and sticking to it. The land plays a significant part as well, my company's last contract involved a lot of helicopter blocks (therefore shorter days, and generally more difficult land), which meant I made much less money near the end of the season. Staying motivated is the most important part; most veteran planters recommend having a money-per-day goal (not a tree number goal, though that's good too) and trying to stick to that as much as possible. Pacing is important too, it's really easy to burn yourself out! I made about $10k personally, which isn't great for a rookie year but I ended up with pretty bad tendinitis by the end of the season which caused me to miss a few days. You can definitely make a lot more if you're really motivated, I know that some planters have made up to $20k in their rookie years. Coming back for more seasons you make a lot more, having already gone through the learning process and having made all those previous investments. About the sleeping situation: it's mostly in tents unless you're lucky enough to have a camper. If you come, I'd recommend getting a pretty big tent (I had a 4 person tent), you can fit your luggage into it more comfortably by far. I had a few friends say they made a mistake just getting a 2 person tent. Definitely get a decent mattress too, it helps a lot relaxing and healing your muscles and a good sleep every night is an absolute must. Warm sleeping bags are good too if you're planting pretty far north in BC, we had a couple nights early season that went down to -10 Celsius. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions I'd love to answer them if I can. Wish you and your boyfriend all the best in whatever you end up doing, treeplanting or otherwise! Cheers, and have a lovely day!
So I gotta ask, if you're vlogging and planting a 3,400 in the same day- how many hours do you get and do your bag ups remain the same amount each time or varied? Personally I find anything over 3,000 trees requires no goofing around or filming, even cache breaks non-existent.
Its hard to remember for sure but I think that day I had around 9 hours of planting because the block was half an hour away from the camp and there was a pretty big walk in. Cache breaks definitely vary but the majority of them were probably like 5-7 mins besides the long-ish one I had while eating my food and sitting on the piece. Also I was thunder boxing and bagging up box and a halves pretty much all day that day so that means less cache breaks and less wasted time too. I was definitely dicking around a bit because I was filming but those trenches at the back of the piece helped me get those 3400 trees in the ground.
