The best picture I ever saw of treework

[mistahbenn]

Yes Jer that pic is the all time greatest! I remember seeing the poster way back (2004) and being in awe.

30 years since Rockport?? Sheesh! How long after you did that job did the poster come out?

Anyone who doesn't have that poster is missing out!

They don't offer it in the Bailey's catalog/whatnot???

I don't have the poster but I do have the story, looking for it is how I ended up here in the first place.

About a year ago I saw a post on Forestry Forum about a bloke named Beranek cutting a tree at 150', it led me here.

I've seen some great pictures here since then, thank you all for posting them.

That really is an awesome photo....Jerry.B is truly an inspiration...to us mere mortals....

I think that photo not only reflects on the dedication and abilities of one individual, but also greatly comments on the history of tree work in that part of the world.

These guys were ballsy as well, shame there was little camera technology around then.

I have had the poster for quite a while now. Just got the book with the full story at TCIA Expo this year. The picture is much more exciting and interesting when you know the whole story. Inquiring minds have to know! Right.. Thanks to Gerry and Terry for a lot of good reading. Not quite done yet, still on 2nd growth management.

I just read the story again last night. Just awesome. For anyone that doesn't have the book, "High Climbers and Timber Fallers", you must get a copy!

It's mine, I made it years ago. Don't get to use it much these days.

There's a lot of things no one will ever see, it is a shame.

This one is in the rotator but it's a long time since it came up for me, Karri is a Western Australian tree.

Why's that? Have we stopped rocking?

Here's my virgin...

The Karri pic is certifiable.
