Great video presentation. The graphic consequences of a novice on a ladder demonstrated nicely by Mr. " I don't need any stitches."
If your heart can take it, check this vid. Don't fell a tree like this. - YouTube A couple of balding "bears", very much in love I'm sure, cut down a tree using a ladder and electric saw. Very lucky, no accident. Chew some antacids and read their video comment. They seem to find "pro's" a bunch of contemptuous thieves over blowing the dangers of aerial tree work.
"Most people would call in a professional, and a lot of professionals respond to this video with exaggerated claims of the danger we put ourselves in..."
The french love ballad soundtrack is criminal.
Please explain to me the slide about the 'Three-Cut Method', and how this is different than you undercutting a kerf or notch.
Thank you.

NEVER cut out beyond the undercut... if its a small limb, cut directly above it..
If its bigger, cut a narrow notch for the undercut, and make the top directly above that..
you are still going to need that third cut to make a clean target prune..
cutting farther out than the undercut, especially just a kerf undercut is the #1 cause of saw snatch... I'd almost think it was some sort of conspiracy with the saw manufacturers, but in the end the people who still put that diagram out, 20 years after it should have been scrapped, are just plain ignorant... There are a lot of big names on that list too!
