Beranek Working Climber Series 3 Part 2 Video on USB Drive
Limbing and Bucking the Tree
The Working Climber video series by Jerry Beranek aims to teach you safety and proficiency in the procedures of climbing and working in trees. Every aspect of practical tree work has a long list of risks and hazards associated with it, and through this series Jerry points out literally thousands of things one needs to know to minimize the risks and maximize their proficiency. Mistakes are costly and unforgiving in this work. Work smart, work safe, and leave nothing to chance!
The Working Climber video series is essentially the Fundamentals of General Tree Work in video format. It’s a lot of video to sit though, and to ensure you dont miss anything you need to watch it several times over and listen real carefully, because it is impossible for most people to take in all that’s covered in this series through the course of a single sitting.
There is a lot of early helmet-cam video from 2003 to 2007 and the video quality is not great. But the quality of the video isn’t as important as what Jerry is saying while the video is rolling. Thousands of hours of field work went into making this video set.

Format: USB 2.0
Run Time: 3 hours and 50 minutes
- Limbing the Tree (1 hour and 17 minutes) Limbing and bucking procedure has little in common with felling procedure. Each involves a completely different school of thought, method and technique. Keeping safe here requires a sawyer to follow a whole new set of rules, and look at trees and each situation in a whole new sense. This title begins with a close look at the requirement put on a sawyer to buck trees into preferred log lengths, and the many risks they are sure to come up against to meet this requirement. Many of the risks inherent to limbing and bucking procedure are common in most scenarios we find ourselves in. So awareness of these common risks is the focus of this title.
- Bucking the Tree (1 hour 6 minutes) Keeping safe during the bucking procedure requires a keen understanding of how gravity, and the forces of tension and pressure, bear on the stems of a tree – to create binds. Model demonstrations are use in this title to show how binds are directed in different scenarios, and in each one, which sides of the stem bear the forces of tension and pressure. Practical examples follow to illustrate the risks a sawyer is up against when stepping into a particular bind scenario. Emphasis is put on recognizing the risks, making correct decisions, and using approved methods.
- Supplemental Applications (1 hour 26 minutes) The Snipe, Block Out Face, Side Lean, Co-dominant scenarios, Wind Falls, Goose Pen, Folding Tree, The Dutchman, Lopping, and The Coos Bay Cut. This portion contains 9 short videos demonstrating alternative methods a sawyer might consider using to put additional control on a tree, and for solving some of the practical problems they are sure to come up against in the field.
