I figure this may show some interest. These pics are from a chapter competition. The safety protocols were totally acceptable at the time they were taken.



I just had my hair cut in the 1st pic. I’m not sure but throw bags may have come out about this time.
The 2nd pic was the body thrust. Notice the great cut on this tree. A good example of target pruning.

It's always nice to see then/now pics.

Do you have a year?

 

[joe]

Unfortunately no date, presume 1980’s.

I found this in my bookmarks.

MSU Pub. from 1972.

The equipment we have today is outright amazing compared to then. Spar work at the time of this publication was difficult and dangerous. I remember cutting notches in the tree to create a crotch, then attach a rope to the wood I was removing. I don’t miss those days.

Nice look at history!

Tom. I’m betting this link has been through these forums already. Is it possible to search for this link in another thread?

@joe

There probably is a way to search. I sorta muddle when doing searches like you suggest though.
