    All these saws are running nice, very zippy. That said you look afraid of stepping into the wood. Like you are expecting something to happen. Get some chaps please.

    I will for sure. The reason for posting is to show kids they are fully capable with the right equipment and training to get into the tree easily by themselves and move around easily with supervision. Sam does it all except setup his own system. He already is using throwline but yet to achieve...

    Crane accident - very bad outcome

    Crane accident - very bad outcome

    No way a hard hat is helping. That stick came down with gravity. F=ma.....that was off the charts. His neck severed instantly. Physics at work here. Crane got levered...that piece shockloaded it then toppled it. Madness. I do cranework in a 3rd world country that shit not flying with me.

    Crane accident - very bad outcome

    Buddy boy had so much time to jump on that corrogated roof to safety. It was like he thought the tree is gone and that is it. A whole heap wrong in this scenario. That vid had been posted all over the world. People now know treework should be left to professionals. Man was in above his head. Sad...
