Bump Thread For Norm Hall

With the sudden passing of friend and mentor Norm Hall, I thought that I would bump this thread from Norm, which is one of my favorites. A lot can be learned from it.

RyanCafferky · Nov 12, 2023

It is threads like this one that opened my mind to the possibilities of rigging scenarios. Finding Treebuzz and the contributions of the posters back then changed tree work from just a job to a career and my biggest passion.

Steve Connally · Nov 12, 2023

couldn't have said it better myself

chris_girard · Nov 12, 2023

I so agree with you Ryan and Steve. You guys like me have been on TreeBuzz for years and have benefited from Norm and many others.

I try now to give back to younger members and pass on some of the nuggets of knowledge that I have gained from all my mentors.

This thread made me realize that I should try and do a better job of documenting and showing the difficult puzzles that I tackle. Not so much for ego and the look at me factor, but to show others what is possible and how to do it right.

This space remains the single biggest influence on my career. I learned and gained so much from the people on here and at one time felt a friendship from many on the buzz. Truly. special place in my heart.

Agree Steve 100%. Hence why I stay.

I fluctuate between here and the late MasterBlaster's site, The Tree House, as my friend and mentor the one and only Gerald Beranek posts often there.
