Dismantling Course
Lucky me!
My work has just put me through my medium fells this week. Next week I start a five day dismantling course. Does anyone have any tips for the course?

The Art & Science of Practical Rigging.
Get a look at the ISA book ( Donzelli & Lilly) called
The Art and Science of Practical Rigging. Most excellent. It will work as a ref for you during the course and has alot you can use afterwards aswell IMO. http://www.treesource.co.uk/acatalog/ I think you may find a copy here.Other places also. |

I don't think there's very many extra tips that you won't learn on the actual course itself, as long as the trainer is any good and knows his stuff. When I did mine we also covered speedlining too, which was good. Just remeber to use two anchor points when using the saw, even when chogging down the stem. Good luck with it. Hope you enjoy it too.
