Learning about rigging

[toxicity2182]

Was wandering if anyone can point me in the direction of any good rigging, lifting and pulling literature from a scientific point of view. All the forces applied and what goes on, etc. Any good books anyone know of? Cheers

Hiah fella. Was a big study done by hse/treevoloution. Is a massive pdf file of over 350 pages I believe. If you run a search on google you will find it.

Videos from this Man ( Reg Coates ) are excellent for learning.

Well worth it. I'm a groundie, not a climber, but it still helps me.

Check out the Digital edition of Gerry Beraneks Fundamentals of general tree work.

 

It is in American with regards to forces and units for measuring but the principles are the same.

Have you got a link to that please, Rich?

Here is a link to a thread on the treehouse.  It explains how the digital edition came about and the process of producing it.  There is also a link at the bottom of the first post.
