FIRE - Hi Scott. I lived in Malibu for two big fires, and San Diego for a few more. I am a huge believer in fire mitigation and would love to hear how you are blowing it up.

@Scott Fellhoelter With HOAs losing insurance, this must be a big help--even if they don't get their insurance back, they can reduce risk dramatically.

Hi Justin, I'm getting ready to do same to bank up some video and photos. Would love to hear how it went and if you have any post-blitz thoughts.

@Justin Craig Rabidoux Thank you. I probably would have thought 2 people would be enough, but a 3rd makes sense so I appreciate that tip! I saw a video today of a mulcher working down a hill at a diagonal, from a ways back that was very impressive, as far as angle and impact.

Hey Jordan, I wanted to say hello and make a connection. We are nearly neighbors, both being in Tulsa and wanted to reach out as a collaborator more than competitor and potential resource if you even need anything.

Darcy Logan Greater Tulsa area, Oklahoma Equipment: 72” hi-flo forestry mulcher, and a 58” lo-flo mulching head, plan to rent skid steer initially. (We happened to find a great deal on a couple new mulchers so we bought those – the heavier hi-flo machine will require a new truck and trailer, so just using the 58” now until we verify the market.) We also have a John Deer 5075E & Rhino TS12 brushhog. First Job: Still in the “Will work for photos and ***** Google Reviews” phase before we implement our crew-day rate minimum. We’ve had a few small brush hogging jobs but I’m not counting those. Priority right now are photos and videos for advertising - we’ve got 5 friends lined up for some free work for photos and reviews next week. 12‑month target: $250k Biggest bottleneck: Authentic advertising up and running - getting material for ads and "talking head" videos and learning video editing apps. Just getting GBP verified felt like an accomplishment! lol What a hassle. Edited to say -- The market research is holding me back right now – hard to jump in when it seems the market looks more like side- and weekend-hustle volume. (The Tulsa Neilson DMA market area, which is a larger area than a realistic service area, covering most of mid-to-northeastern Oklahoma and into Kansas, shows google keyword research show a combined keyword search of less than 400 monthly searches, averaging about 10 searches a month for each of the keywords (forestry mulching, land clearing, brush cutting, cedar removal, etc) and mangools is showing 80 a month for all total, with 8-10 a month individually.) -- I'm trying not to be a Debbie Downer or opposite, just judge realistically. What I've heard from Austin and Jacob is fresher content works better in limited markets, but I'm not sure if this market is too limited. Any insights welcome. :)
