No, it's incredibly simple. The training was maybe 30 seconds. Shovel goes in ground, swift counterclockwise motion and tree goes in the ground. The only obstacle was strength. I had thought I was in good shape. I was sorely mistaken pun intended. No inspections for the work, it was mostly people on the team checking in to make sure I hadn't collapsed out of exhaustion. I was fit for city life but for tree planting that was a whole other world.
Still, by the sounds of it, you are a better man than I.

Our foreman was arguably in better shape that Jason Mamoa as Khla Drogo no contest. Actually everyone on this team was a version of human rarely encountered in sedentary life. There was another woman roughly my age and height but at least 25lbs more in muscle. She was also pretty sore after the first days. But she, unlike me, did not nearly faint nor spend an entire day in bed in excruciating pain because the metal rods in her spine felt like they were going to come unhinged. Wow was the crueling. Never again. Only yoga and walks for me thank you.

Are you saying you lasted under a week?
If so, you are still the better man.
