I don't even live in America tho.

And don't forget about the 300 foot redwood trees

Sounds like a dream, I'd love to work in the woods. Where I'm from there is customer service and warehouse, and anything that pays more is just office work. I feel constrained in my current job, I'm always restless because I have to sit down most of the day. I've been wanting to move countries but it's more of a fantasy than a reality, and besides, it's a "Pick your poison" type scenario, every country is going to shit. I feel like countrysiders are less unbothered by the world than those stuck in the city though. I at least hope so.

Any chances to start some kind of business or personal enterprise?

Here's a tree pic you might like. See the guy at the base, and spot the guys up in the tree too. I just read a family logging company is selling about 5 miles of northern California coast due to pressures and regulations making logging unprofitable. It's going to become another park or national monument.

Easier said than done. I've used harnesses before because I used to rock climb, so I know the basics. Though I imagine I'd have to learn how to actually do the work at hand. Assuming it's not so simple. It would also be a big financial commitment that I can't afford to make right now. I was hoping I could find an internship of sorts a couple years ago but I just don't live in a place that's ideal for it. I've applied to positions in different countries where I'd have a work visa, but they don't want me. I watched a video of a dude who vlogs his life after leaving prison, and he does what I want to do. He's in Cali iirc and makes like $40 an hour. I'm not sure how good that is in a place like Cali though.

That's an awesome pic. Places like that are places I wish I could be in. Away from all the bullshit. I have a friend who's Uncle runs a logging company in Canada, but she chooses to sit in an office all day and do fuck all. To each their own I guess. I wish I had successful family members LOL.
