The Tree Climbers Companian is a basic book that covers gear, knots, accent, working the tree and just about anything you would need to get started. Other books that are good is The Art & Science of Practical Rigging and The Tree Climbers Guide. I believe all of these are carried by the ISA. Also the CD Roms are very informative as well. The safety one is great for beginners and there identification one makes following all the latin names a little bit easier. |
