LETTER FROM A TREE CLIMBING ENTHUSIAST:

RE: Congratulations for New Tree Climbers International
Educational Video
Yesterday I got my new Tree
Climbing Video from TCI and I have to take the time to show my appreciation
to Peter and Patty and the rest of the crew that helped put this great
educational video together. The information is clear and easy to follow along,
the settings are clear, the videography was very professionally produced and
the material presented is very informative even for someone that has been
climbing for a while.
It is nice to be reminded of the basics of safety, proper
inspection of the tree and proper gear and climbing techniques. Specially for
someone like me that has not received formal training this is a great tool to
sharpen my skill and keep me safe at all times during my climbs. I highly
recommend all tree climbers to buy a copy and review it from time to time or
give copies away for Christmas as presents to friends, relatives and potential
tree climbers. That way they will also understand the passion you have for
protecting the trees for future generations and the importance to get proper
training. So now go and climb a tree, Safely!
