Dumbass.

Its a good thing my dad was a logger and tought me how to properly cut down trees, even ones 100 times bigger than that one, without causing bodily harm. So this will never be a issue for me.

 

[Greenman]

I didn't see that coming.

 

[Charlie98]

I worked for a tree company for a while... you have to anticipate what the tree and the limb is going to do once you release the weight and/or tension.

 

[SheHateMe]

Yikes!

I have zero training in felling trees, or limbs for that matter.

All I needed to get my asshole to pucker up was a ground level view of a limb that I once saw about 60ft above my head. It looked thin, harmless. But on the ground the thing was massive and felt solid like an anvil. Just glad a storm took it down so I could realize how powerful trees are.

I only higher professionals when it comes to something that has enough weight to cause injury to person or property, and I have no clue how to do it safely.

Don't even need that, this is common-sense physics. Which way is the pendulum going to swing? Is there anything in it's path?

This is what happens when you fuck with trees. I guess that guy never read/watched Lord of the Rings. Would be funnier if it nailed him in the balls.

 

[skyking]

that's because it got hung up in a wire or another limb and did something totally off the wall and unexpected. He severed the limb completely, it just did some very weird stuff after that.

I hope the professionals you hire have a higher level of understanding than you.

Who needs physics or common sense when you can just do a sign of the cross and let Jebus prevent bodily injury?

He had it suspended, can see the loop on the far left of the frame and the rope/pulley towards the end on the right. If he hadn't done that, it would have just fallen like normal.

eh?

eh?

I'm just being a grammar Nazi.

This is true for smaller trees but when you get into the 4-5 foot wide ones when wedges start being a requirement it gets alot more complicated.

Ahhh lol!

no prob

My Dad has a place up in Quebec that is surrounded by these huge old pines that were planted 60-70 years ago. Every now and then he has to have one taken down, and there's this fellow down the road named Gilbert who is about the same age as the trees. In an afteroon he'll climb it, limb it, top it, drop it, and cut it up into chunks. It's pretty amazing to watch him. He's been doing it all his life.

I don't think Gilbert would have done it the way the guy in the video did it.

 

[Jaskalas]

:hmm: Newfound respect for trees.

Topping trees is actually very dangerous, probably one of the most dangerous things to do while logging.

My dad stopped logging when one of his best friends died topping a tree, he mis-judged it and instead of it falling away the bottom kicked back into him and broke his neck. My dad being the only other topper on site with the gear to climb the tree was the one they sent up to bring the body down. He quit then and there right on site as soon as he had the body down from the tree.

That was awesome

Love how he blessed himself before going up the ladder

God taught his ass

 

[Wyndru]

I want to know how he got off the ladder.

This summer I learned the hard way that you should always use 2 people and a rope to guide a tree. I thought I had it notched correctly and falling the right way and some strange pressure caused it to fall the completely opposite way destroying the neighbor's fence and lawn chairs.

Oh snap

Why NSFW? Language? Someone's head gets split open?

I watched it a few times to find that and missed it, thanks. He set himself up for fail.
