Does Anybody Have This Book?

[Josh777]

A review of this book would be nice if someone has the time.

I have Beranek's Working Climber series on DVD but would like to know the extent of information contained in his book.

I have another book by Jeff Jepson titled, "To Fell A Tree," and I've picked up some new tricks from it and I was hoping perhaps Beranek's book was the same way. Any info would be appreciated.

gb? please clarify.

gb? please clarify.

Some of the techniques apply to big tree work and logging operations, IIRC. Things like jacking, lanyard work on really large trees. I have it at home but I have not looked through it in a couple months.

I'd recommend it for your collection.

Abbreviated version of "Gerald Beranek" in lower case.

The other reply may have supplied a work description instead.

I think you are correct MDV.

I recommend it unless you really, truly know it all. Has a lot of good stuff in there. Actually, I got this before Jeff's book (to fell a tree) and was seriously disappointed. If you liked Jeff's book, this one will take you to the next level.

That was my starter book. I like it, but it is definitely tipping a bit heavy on the logging side of things. Despite it's title, I think it shorts some of the fundamentals a bit, and misses out on a good explanation of some of the most basic skills needed.

Well bless my soul! In another thread, I was able to give pertinent advice based on what I learned in the book you are considering.
