I have said it before, but the perfect companion to Fundamentals is Jerry's Working Climber DVD series. It gives you a visual of so many of the topics that are covered in the book, that are just fantastic to see in the work environment.
Thank you again Jer for all that you have done for us in...
It would be nice to read about some of the Euro boring techniques Stig. Too many people still are clueless about them. I think that Jerry could still have an updated climbing section without it being quickly outdated. Especially SRT.
Same here Butch. I own 2. One I use to highlight and keep notes on tips and techniques. The other is my original 1990's hardcover with dust jacket still on it that I bought from Bailey's.
BUMP for this thread.
It been 5 years since anyone posted on this thread. In that time, I can't even begin to think how many times I looked up something in "The Book." IMO, Still the best tree book out there!
Seeing all that cable kink like that and having to redo the line must be a real PITA. I loved seeing the woods splice though in the video. Being a splicer, I thought that was real cool, though I've never spliced wire rope.
Loved that story too Willard. Reminds me of when I'm starting my...
Yeah, E books are neat, but there is still something about sitting down with a good book and being able to turn those pages by hand that I will always love.
Now there is a second edition book that will definitely be worth getting. Can't wait to see that one Jer! I still have one of the first hard cover copies that Bailey's put out years ago, still have the book protector cover that came with it too. Great book to read over and over again.
I'm going through Jer's book again (I've done this a countless number of times before) in conjunction with watching the Working Climber Series DVD's. The two really go hand-in-hand.
Thanks again Jer for all your hard work!
Just ordered my second copy of Jerry's Fundamentals book.
Lent my original (which was one of the first from Bailey's years ago) one out to a friend and it came back ripped! Pissed me off.
If you don't have this book yet, BUY IT NOW. It is still the bible of tree books out there.
