Tree felling vids

[Marc-Antoine]

I'd love to know in the History of Man, Saws, and Ladders how many times that exact event has occured? I know I've seen at least three of these same videos already.

A little more than 3 !
Here are some I can found again (I lost 2 or 3 more):

I've seen a lot of those but this one had me puzzled.

Guess I should have read the story. The extent some people will go to to save spending a dollar amazes me, and nearly always ends up costing more than they would have paid to get it done properly.

Just to save everyone the time.

"Well on the end of a ladder. The tree fell during Fay August 2008. You cannot safely cut the base, it'll kick out.

So we attach an electric chain saw to the end of a ladder, duct tape the switch. The base of the ladder is attached to a platform, on it a garbage can full of water.

Didn't go as planned the saw is toast, but it's alot cheaper than a tree surgeon or an ER visit."

We had a wind storm today and I got called to look at a tree on a house. As I was bidding that two guys came over to see if I could help them with a tree on their roof. They had the ladder set up and a sawsall ready to go. I applaud their willingness to reconsider their do-it-yourself approach.

"isn't that pretty?"

 

[Burnham]

That, and "I'm alive"...

 

[woodworkingboy]

I wonder how one gets to be so nonchalant?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Alcohol usually or some substance that alters perception

 

[flushcut]

[woodworkingboy]

Mentally deranged people have thicker skins.

 

[flushcut]

Or should that read 'skulls'.

 

[Burnham]

I sorta recall seeing part one, I think, but don't know if it was here. I had not seen part 2 until today.

This is so painful....

[CurSedVoyce]

Almost squished the gear........

"right where I was standing ...hahahahaha!"


They have clue how lucky they were.

 

[pantheraba]

Wow, Burnham...great find...the music made their antics hilarious in the first one.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

It's always a pleasure.
Can't they think a little at what they are doing, even without knowledge?

 

[flushcut]

Dude, what are you guys talking about they were awesome text book through and through. (insert smiley blowing out brains)

[Burnham]

Wrap your thumb, Gord! Am I gonna have to come up there and smack it with a stick to remind you?


Super work, as always, my friend.

Very smooth video for helmet cam, Gord. And I'm sure it's not by accident. And damn fine example of skill and control with the medium too.
