ISA DVD Critique?

[Maineiac]

Has anyone watched the DVD "The Art and Science of Practical Rigging" created by the ISA?

I learned the tree business from my dad who would be better classified as a logger than an arborist, but he climbed and ran his own tree business for years. When he died a year and a half ago I took over the business, but have had to learn a **** load about rigging, mechanical advantage, and various other techniques that he never knew much about to advance myself as a professional climber. I was just curious if you think it is worth it to buy the DVD.

I have the book and found it informative.

Do you know if there is anything covered in the DVD that the book doesn't?

Sorry, I haven't watched the DVD.

I have the book too. If you read the "about the authors" section there's a disturbing mention about how one of them was killed while filming the DVD.

No worries, thank you.
