[@mxcollin95]

Well said man.

[@joshuafulton9821]

I fell about forty feet, and the shock from landing on my right leg, dislocated my right foot, broke my tibia ankle to knee the long way, three broken ribs and a broken back, doctors and surgeons told me i would be lucky to walk right again. four months later. i was climbing again , safer and better than ever. that was six years ago.Love the story guys.

[@dannydinneen1498]

Just watched both parts of the interview. Love listening to humble chaps that have lived more than I've slept. I'm a stonemason but always had respect for what you guys do day in day out to put food on the table. Compelling from start to finish, as are all your videos. So much so, it's 2:45am here in the UK and I have work In 3hrs but couldn't switch off. 👍

[@AugustHunicke]

Thank you... it’s worth mentioning that I am literally right now, tonight, writing the forward for the re-release of Jerry’s “fundamentals” book which went out of print but is now coming back.

I haven't climbed a tree in 50 years - but I sure enjoyed this series. The love and care of both tree and humans from both of you is wonderful.

[@MrSingleJack]

Excellent interview - Thank you Jerry, Terry, and August. Nice work August.

[@acuraintegrar5]

Guy is a true legend, i got alot of knowledge out of these dvd’s. I hope he knows how important he is to the tree community!

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Whoever did the editing on this is really good. All those special fade ins and outs are great, and take lots of time too. Thanks August for making this happen. Jim.

[@billweifenbach54]

the greatest thing about gerry is he doesn't think of himself as an icon he is a true gentleman.

[@fritzbockting4085]

I read the fundamentals of tree work long before it was popular. And I must say that it was the best read I’ve had. I biased my climbing career around that book. It taught me everything I needed to know. I owe my life to Jerry and his writings.

[@MikeSmith-uk9vr]

Please don't stop what you are doing. If nobody else in life tells you this just know... I appreciate the hell outta you for your contribution to and willingness to document what you are doing in tree industry. Yours truly: A tree man in Orlando, FL. Stay safe broseph..👍

[@coreyyourlocaltreeguy2771]

Got both parts finished, Gerald, thank you for taking the time to do this. August, thank you for taking the time to put this together for us.

[@alsims8280]

Much Love and Respect to you Gerry for your service, your love of the trees and nature, and your wisdom in passing on the lessons learned in your wonderful journey through life. God Bless You and your beautiful bride.

[@sonnyblazer5504]

WOW! Part one & Part two just amazing with big THANKS to all involved. August, you really make a HUGE difference and things you do, show, share and instill are saving lives and severe injuries daily. Thanks to you for sharing! Sonny (CT)

[@NHlocal]

Loved it. Thank you Jerry, Terry, and August.

[@curbsidesalvage8137]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I lived in Humboldt and this man is one of the legends not only there but in the industry.

[@armandhammer9617]

It's a shame some 100k viewers missed part 2. Short attention spans I guess. This interview was great and I hope Jerry and his wife are enjoying the golden years. I'm not a logger or tree cutter....or am I?🤔 I've been a carpenter for 35 yrs but it's great that he can share his knowledge with the next generation of woodsmen. I'm liking this channel more and more because of gems like this interview. I'm actually looking forward to the next video every week. Keep up the good work✌

[@AugustHunicke]

Thanks

[@Zebracat5]

Very grateful for this Video August. Didn't even know these Books existed until I watched this Interview with Jerry Beranek. Love the Book Jerry wrote. This may sound crazy,but im sure this Interview has saved Lives,Property Damage,and needless Injuries. Thank you for this Interview with Jerry Beranek August.

[@Jjosephda]

August I just got a chance to watch this series. What an amazing experience that probably was for you. I'm definitely gonna be getting some of his material. I'm a relatively new climber and absolutely love this trade. You savvy vets are an inspiration to us younger guys. Thank you August jerry and Terry.

[@kevinbrogle4825]

Very good stuff. Two of the most influential climbers the world has known. Keep the great content coming August!

[@charleswenzel1026]

Incredible video, I am awe struck. Being a new age climber myself and mostly self taught I will be investing in his reading material and training videos! Thank you Mr. Hunicke and Mr. Beraneke!!!!! Incredibly inspiring for someone who shares the same passion!

[@TGCIII]

Great man great story great production! Thanks for sharing

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Your love for sharing these kind of things has always made me better for this. Thanks so much gentlemen. ❤

[@charlesford1669]

Love the fact that You bring up injury. Experience got me through my past injuries do to tree climbing and ground tender. The respect your saw and respect the tree, but never ran out of rope, Your video is a great reminder to all those who live for this trade.

[@clintheser6314]

So glad to see the second video. I got started on Jerry's book and videos. Loved the stories and the old photos. Thanks Jerry, Terry, and August

[@justinjulian7952]

What a true gent. It's great to see you have so much respect for this obviously experienced, knowledgable, been there and done it guru. One day you'll be interviewed just like him, I just hope you have as good a moustache!!

[@darcy32171]

Absolutely enjoyed this Documentary! Could not imagine the work involved to top a redwood using spring boards. He is a legend

[@ArborGuardRoseville]

Great job. Jerry is in a category all his own! Looking forward to more "Tree Talk" with industry personalities.

[@daudbarry]

Fantastic, thanks for posting and taking the time to make a great video to all concerned!

[@allenhuling598]

Well done - to all! Been a fan of Jerry's work for several years. Thanks August!

[@379exhd3406]

Thank you for making these videos sir. Much respect for jerry. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@Houseworksaws]

Thank both of you for your time.. I wish more old time loggers/arborist would share they're knowledge and experience

[@LawrenceSchultz3000]

it's like the history channel for arborist & an excellent way to revere & respect one of our founding fathers. great vid!

[@philosborn1840]

Very professional done! Enjoyed both parts. Do more of these type of shows.🇨🇦

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Thank you both! This is excellent. I have had Jerry's first book a long time, it is falling apart. So I guess it's time to replace it and get the coffee table book too.

[@mvblitzyo]

Wow August I've been waiting for the second part to come out . ! II watch the video on my phone. During my lunch break . I'm not done reading Jerry's book. About three quarters of the way, I realize that I've done a lot of the stuff that he's done. Just very little logging. I myself wanted to write a book too . Because of the training , 20 years in the business. And production was always the main goal . Because of this when I volunteer to train new climbers how to tie knots how to enter a tree. just the basics, they too complain. they're too busy dragging brush and nobody wants to teach. You can watch videos all you want but until you get your hands on the rope and get the birds eye view that's where it is for me thank you so much for your videos are totally awesome I look forward to buying Jerry's series in sitting down with the guys and going over what is learned in the classroom is experience that as well needed out in the field.

[@UgotSprucked]

" I was hired.....actually, my saw was hired, I was just the operator.....anyway my saw was hired...." I love that! hahaha

[@justinjohnson6251]

that was awesome i watched both videos twice very nicely done and Jerry is a very cool guy

[@urjb]

Been waiting for part 2, thanks guys. As a new (not young) climber, I appreciate the information. On a side note the California Redwood forests were my stomping grounds as a youth, and I've spent a lot of time in the areas Gerry mentions.

[@orest227]

just watched this again. so great to see the genuine mutual respect, admiration and the depth of Mr. Baranek's (lol) story telling. The similarities throughout their careers are interesting. The injury stories were instructive and horrifying, and the way it happened for each of them. Gerry's full video series is my next big purchase after getting my boots rebuilt.

[@dp9382]

Awesome interview. Thanks for sharing the history of a lifesaver.

[@boydb56]

Most excellent! Thanks for the TreeHouse shoutout, brother!

it was an easy watch, great to find out who this gentleman is.......Thanks for posting, I'm years late as usual.. ;¬)

[@chamness964]

Awesome Gerry and August. Very informational.

[@TruthAndGrace123]

August, How does this historical gem of an interview NOT have 1/2 to 1 Million views? Could it be that YT, TikToc and texting have given people an attention span of less.than 30 seconds?

[@mike8hunter]

Great stuff thank you, I'll be hitting Treestuff for the video series. Bought the Fundamentals of General Tree Work, inspiring me to be better at this carrier, thank you Jerry

[@cortlandtreeservice4619]

A+ August! Jb is the man and what a class act too.

[@wildtimbrown]

Great to hear about the old growth re-growth! I do wonder how much is being allowed to regrow like the forest he mentions. I know that here in FloriDuh, very little of the old growth pine and cypress forests are being allowed to grow anything but houses, malls and roads..

awesome man been waiting a while but worth it.love ya jer

[@ryanalbright6510]

I was working in Vancouver Washington in 1978. Driving up a hill I looked in to the forest of large Douglas fir trees to see a stump of a old growth Douglas fir that had been cut. Large enough to set a car on. Forest do recover.

[@scatoutdebutter]

I've had the book for a year or so, but discounted it because it was "old" (1996) -- pretty shallow and stupid, eh? But because of these videos and August Hunicke's interview/comments I have begun digging into this book in earnest. ... have just begun to see what a treasure trove of rich information is contained herein. Planning to spend most of today reading and studying the book. Also, I just ordered the full DVD set (from treestuff) today.

[@AugustHunicke]

Robert Wood that's great, yes both The book and the video series are rich with knowledge.

[@danhargrave1811]

Fascinating. Thank you.

[@jleighgod8149]

I fell 63' went back up the same tree measured from where I pull my knot off the rope end up broke pelvis in 3 places tore mussel cartilage from part my spin tore open and broke arm! went through big brush pile with my chainsaw on my side probably saved my life! It was big cottonwood tree on the edge of a small cliff in Mansfield Mo. I was used to climbing with a 150' rope but a guy run over my rope with a bush hog and I had cut it down to like 75' and I was talking to guy on the ground not paying attention! I couldn't walk at the time but I did get up and walk the same day! Walked out of the hospital cus I had to have a cigarette! That was 25 yrs ago when I was 25 just turned 50 and I'm still climbing trees! Funny I had no fear back then and fell a few times before that but since I have not fallen from a tree! I'm a contractor now but have always climbed trees on the side!

[@juanitaporter4232]

Very worthwhile watching!
