ALways looking for constructive advice.. calling a bore cut stupid sure ain't that!

the faller claims to have underestimated the front lean and left too little a back strap. said he wanted to make it a quick release cut for the video.. Maybe one of the lessons here is that video can actually be a safety issue if it changes the way you do a job, which it usually does to some degree..
Translation: showing off while doing dangerous work= unsafe... is that what you're saying murph?
Huh.

There is nothing wrong with showing off a little if you got what it takes.. I love to show off! But the camera can be a distraction. You gotta keep your focus.. also when a crew member runs the camera, you are loosing a man to help, stop traffic, rigging etc.. Contrary to appearances I do not put much effort into the camera work.. If there happens to be a camera on sight and a man free to run it, then I tape. Its been a while since I set up multiple cameras on tripods etc.. Even then its extremely rare that much productivity is sacrificed for the video.. I have missed some really sweet drops and riggin shots along the way.
That said, I have also learned A LOT from watching my videos, especially in slow motion.. seeing exactly what is going on.. its fun

I am more than happy to hear from loggers. I even like when ole Murph shows off.

How exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does the sun set? How exactly does a positrack rear end on a Plymouth work? It just does.

Maybe the place was going to be knocked down anyway and he took advantage of that for show!Why risk that much?

Nice shot! Couldn't he have just moved the trailer home over? All in all a great drop.

Maybe you just can't even imagine a faller could be that good to hit that drop perfectly.. I would have stayed at the stump and tickled the back cut as it was going if needed.. he apparently didn't need to NICE JOB! Way to show the boy scouts!
And for you next video shoot an apple off your friends head with an arrow to show us how good you are!
Be right I'm sure if was home of value he'd explore all option, but the area tightness and timber deck likely made take down impractical vs the chance loss of a out house.
Daniel- in all your videos, I've never seen you attempt that tight a drop. You're a boy scout along with the rest of us compared to that guy's skill. Wide open lawn areas and streets don't count.
