Below are some good ones I've found on the net. The left column shows a rating system,
10 being the highest, and I tried to organise them usefully. If you have any suggestions
of good tree planting videos, let me know!

you'll meet there. |

scenes of treeplanting, to give you an idea of the types of personalities you will find
there, and the general lifestyle. |

like |

Fast Planting |
|
5 |
Scenes of fast planters. Reveals the psychology of what's behind fast
planting. Constantly thinking about every shaved second. |

4.5 |
shows a fast tempo but not a very smooth style. Pounding in clay and can
get elbow problems in his right arm. Smoother could be faster, and much less strain on the
body. Check out the comments made by other planters for some insight. |

No nonsense and fast planter. Always looks easier than it is. |

Slow Planters |
|
5.5 |
For your comparison, what a lowballer (slow planter) looks like and the
speed you can expect to plant as a beginner - disoriented, always wondering where you
should plant next… |

Shovel Cam! |

Another fast planter, but this time from the perspective of the shovel.
Shows the mind numbing nature of the job. |

video camera strapped to a fast planter's head, can show you the
mindlessness of endlessly hunting for the next plantable spot and how mundane this job can
become. |

Another fast planter with a camera strapped to his head. Shows the mind
numbing nature of the job and the constant hunt for the next spot. Video quality not very
good. |

Jungle Planting |
|
4 |
What it's like when there's a lot of green to plant through. |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C53HDeRBHCY |
|
Bugs, bugs,
bugs… |
|

Not a thrilling video, but can give a glimpse of the unrelentless and
incessant mosquitos, just another factor which can take your mind over the edge. |

Another video on bugs, this time on black flies, which get into your
eyes while the mosquitos pierce your back. |
