But of course, I shall tell them you are 'The man'!


I'll speak to you at TCIexpo, you comin or what?

You gonna have some of those new ratcheting lowering devices there Reg?

 

[Reg]

thats what i'm talking about reg! now after i tell someone that i am going to send them to you to verify that fact!! glad to have you on board, man. you might be able to find a seat on the bandwagon.

Thats actually quite funny Justin, you're getting the hang of it!

chances are slim to none finding me at that convention....... you going to go to bostonbull's little shindig

Jim is going to TCI with a bunch of other's, or so I heard. Just get in on it.

As for his crane show, at this stage I should hope I dont need to.

Dave, yes, that's essentially why we're there. I'm under contract.

You gonna have any introductory expo price? How much they gonna be?

If a price I like can you put my name on one you are taking and I will show up at the beginning of the equipment opening and if I don't want it.....you lose nothing. Chances are I will want it. I already bought something you made.

When are you and all the "buzzers" (and housers?) meeting?opcorn:

Dave, let me get back to you on that. Essentially we'll only be taking 1 of the Dual LD, I'll get a price off the powers that be, and I think you'll appreciate what that particular LD has to offer. Did you see the brush/log cart I made? We're hoping to get that on the stand also. Whatever Dave it'd be good to meet you in person regardless.

You know I generally avoid the big get-togethers like the plague, not my thing really. The guy who this thread was originally about is a friend of mine so I look forward to catching up with him and his wife, and probably a dozen others that I've known and got to spend some time with last year....just not all at the same time hopefully.

I agree with those sentiments. Keep me posted. My gm and I will prob drive out there for a day and get a few ceu's and look forward to meeting you.

I heard about it. Why is it that everything is on the east coast or anywhere but SO-CAL? I guess there are some good CEU's at that one.

Just a thought Dave, they are actually available though Treestuff, Wesspur and Bishop co....although just not very well advertised at this stage. But yeah I'll get back to you otherwise.

Had no idea you started retailing them. I am a Sherrill guy. Still will drop by and say hey at Pitt.

Welcome to this forum, Ger. I´m your best fan from Spain. I ordered your book some years ago, via Baileys. The book is the prefer of my climbing partners!

If anybody think that don´t have fear, see this...

one of the comments was
"he also died doing that"

 

[flushcut]

The climber had been doing those kinds of long free fall stunts for years before making a mistake that cost him his life.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

i guess it all boils down to this question. what would you do for love?

I have done very little traveling in the past 5 years, just the one trip out to work in Larry's part of OK.

Every since you got married.

Hoping to have you out one of these days to train crew on new rigging techniques. Hard to do when you are always in the tree. I'm sure I could learn a thing or two as well.

no one is beyond learning. great thing about these forums.

 

[Tree Machine]

I'd like to learn how to use a bucket truck. Some day I'll be coming here asking.



So, Back to the Gerald Beranek titleof this thread
and a reply to "

i started this thread.hoping to get a good tree dvd info.so how long is to long to get a responce.k

Yea, we got all caught up in saying nice things about the arboreal grand poobah of the redwood forest.



Bayard, the entire Gerald Beranek, can I say it, his 'life's works' can be found at Baileys, the same place that sends us their catalogs.

Here is a link to the books and DVDs section of their online store.

I would loan you mine, but that would detract from the purpose of having your own.

And if I may give you an additional link, this is to Beranek's first book, The Fundamentals of General Tree Work. I have this book and all I can say is this is a MUST for the library of any Arborist, noobie or old salt. Beranek was so advanced so early, and had to innovate so much on his way up. The dude has literally been at the front lines of arborist gear technology since ropes went synthetic in the late 50's. There has been nothing, gearwise, that Gerald hasn't seen as

all the gear producers​

for our industry have also read, or are included in the books he's written.


SO, get The Fundamentals. I promise you will not regret it.

For more excitement and an insight into the level of tree work Gerald has done and still does to a better extent, get his other book. This one, the one I consider the grand depository of the world's greatest collection of Beranek forest and tree work images. This is High Climbers and Timber Fallers

Click here for a video overview of the High Climbers and Timber Fallers, cover-to-cover.

Treemachine, get your lips off Beranek's ass, you're starting to embarrass yourself.

I'll admit, he's a good treeman and an innovator, but when you can't buy anything that has his name on it for under $35, it makes me wonder if he's selling out.

 

[oldirty]

hahahhahahhaa!

booooyeah....

Some of these "buzzers" and "housers" that return here from the mecca(s) to condescend from their pulpit are more humorous than annoying.

Maybe we could set something up for when school is out in the winter. I could drag the travel trailer down there for a few days.
