Workers and bosses. Climbers and contractors. Apprentices and 25-year vets. Eight rooms, one trade — the conversation you can't have on Facebook and won't get in the safety meeting.
Hosted on Circle — chat, posts, photo and video. Your ARBCLUB login carries across. Day one. You're shaping what gets built next.
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. You can post in here even on the free Sapling tier.
Honest reviews of saws, harnesses, ropes, helmets, throwlines. What's worth the spend, what's the marketing pitch. One good answer in here pays for your 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 once the room's running.
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, hire each other and trade gear — 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.
Buy and sell gear & machinery. Used saws, harnesses, throwlines, rigging gear, chippers, stump grinders, EWPs, trucks. Members only — no scammers, no Marketplace pile-ons. Photos, condition, price, location.
First-wave open. Member numbers go live in your profile once you're in.
Trunk opens the 5 open rooms. Canopy adds the Lounge, Hiring Yard and Classifieds. Your first 2 months free.
