The legend at work
by Samantha
Reading and looking at pictures is great, but for those who need to watch something be done to learn this is it. All the techniques being talked about are also shown in real time. One thing to note is the vids are shot in coniferous trees not deciduous.
Put on the coffee!

For those that have a far easier time learning through actual videos instead of books, this is the best resource that I've found. While you can purchase each drive by itself, I'd definitely recommend getting the whole set together. Even if you're sure that you know the information being covered, thsi series helps present it in an in-depth and easy to learn fashion. Put on the coffee and turn on the tv!
