Yup. It was I. Highly recommended. I post links to it in just about every post here with questions about felling technique.
excellant book. Dent's book was the classic for a long time, but I think this is better.
Much better reading, Dent is old style for sure
Better illustrations
Definitely safety and consumer oriented
Very good with the more modern style of 'job instructions' format. do step 1, then 2, then 3, etc.
I think more appropriate to the casual user. Dent's was more for the western loggers and pro's. It was a good book, but time marches on....
Jepson also has a prior book about knots and rigging, Tree Climbers Companion I think called. Climbing is NOT an interest for me, but the rope work info is great.
I think Baileys has them both. I got from Sherrill or Fresco I think.
