[QUOTE="BC WetCoast, post: 5826781, member: 18180"] You need a couple of books with pictures to help you through the process. The Climber's Companion by Jepsen is considered the best for teaching basic skills. I have found this as a bit torrent, but I'm not sure if its available as a torrent anymore. One web site/You tube channel that is very good at demonstrating basic skills is the Climber's Companion, but there are others. One of the things you need to decide is whether you want to focus on pruning or get into the removal game. Different skills, different equipment needs. If you want to focus on pruning, read some books, such as Ed Gilman, on proper pruning. Don't take this personally, but most on here would agree that most landscapers are $hitty tree pruners.
