limb lowering advice

[yardguy26]

I logged for most of my life and turned to arborists work five years ago. Any advice, pics, videos etc for lowering limbs. Ninety percent of my work can be handled with my 60 foot bucket and hand tossing and the rest spike climbing. I hate to admit that I am soo busy with a small crew that I have turned down real technical rope jobs or given them an arborist friend that does nothing but rope climb and teach technical rescue classes for our fire department. Other than watching him, with limited time to give, he is not willing to share knowledge. We are pretty secluded here and there are no real rope classes available in the area. Help appreciated.

Art and Science of Practical Rigging is a good book. The Gerald Beranek videos are loaded with info.

Thanks bud. Just checked out the sample videos and I plan on purchasing.

Small Wood's advice was dead on. The book and videos mixed in with a LOT of practice will solve your problem.
