14 Chris Blanchard s Harvesting Rules Drag containers rather than pushing them keep the container near the hand that the product ends up in, and never cross your body with your hands keep supplies like twist ties and rubber bands next to the hand that grabs them. don t set tools down, learn to work while holding knife (rubberbanding, twist tying) Keep tools sharp, if you feel it when you cut yourself, it isn t sharp enough Track progress week to week, share with crew for a reinforcing feedback loop purplepitchfork.com/blackbelt.
