(SRT Best Practices) “In my opinion, I expected more for 55.00. What I got out of it was that I paid a lot for a gear catalog. It claims to show modern and innovative practices for SRT-but I think I can rely on companies such as Wesspur for the newest, greatest and best gear-for free. For tree climbing techniques, there are many other books out there for a lot less money with a lot more knowledge and information.”
