I agree with that. I have only used a Telehandler on a couple removals. Not legit crane stuff. I don’t know how to do the cool rope rigging to hold logs vertically…but I can figure out how to do it safely with choker straps, mostly horizontal stuff…I saw it coming from the getgo. Where I get hung up is I have followed him a while and never seen him contradict what I have educated myself with (FGTW) or experienced myself. I maybe have more background than him with other crane and rigging work in other industries through. The big thing with tree work is understanding future geometry/physics…what’s gonna happen next?! (After I cut this). Some you learn from others, some you learn the hard way, but somewhere there is a line where you should be able to intuitively see what’s going to happen next. If you can’t…I disagree with @davidwyby. It was totally foreseeable by any measure, rookie or experienced. Totally.
If he had not stepped down that little bit before the lift, he's hurt bad or dead. That is an idiot move, imo.
Yeah but most of the guys stuff seems decent from what I know. That’s where I get hung up.There is lots wrong with the video.

No idea what he does on his channel, but maybe it's just a documentary of sorts. "I did this today, and this is how it went" good, bad, or indifferent..why does he put this eff-up on full display? It's dumb, and counter-productive if you wish to show yourself in a positive light.
Yeah, Never did replace my GOPro. I don't edit for shat and they all come out long and BORINGMine neither. I'm not inclined to dick around with cameras and stuff when I have work to do. It's just a distraction that doesn't help get the job done. Good thing some people are into it though, or we wouldn't have The Fundamentals :^)
I agrée, I See so much pointless big negative rigging of big sections, just for the Billy big bollocks stuff.The obsession with producing social media content above producing good content.
This drives many companies such as this to the fore - a little skill, little experience and a great deal of confidence don’t always end well.
I have seen some of there content previously and it is basic at best. I am just happy he can sit at home and read the criticism, hopefully realising how lucky he is.
There are a lot of videos on the web from people who look like they know what they are doing but don’t. Chunk flip video starts off with a guy on a ladder in full climber gear wearing spurs. That’s an accident waiting to happen so why tempt fate.Yeah but most of the guys stuff seems decent from what I know. That’s where I get hung up.
I have a tree guy buddy who says to be careful whose advice or example you follow online…so if one doesn’t know, how do they know if the person they are watching knows? I don’t agree with that a lot of the time. Same day that just because someone is posting online they don’t know what they’re doing…but plenty of knowledgeable people do.There are a lot of videos on the web from people who look like they know what they are doing but don’t.
